OT: Shout-out to Marta on a proud day for Spain

[lvocd]

I know she has to be so, so happy for her countryman Rafael Nadal on what was one of the most amazing tennis championship matches in history.

It was a thrill to see that today.

You are absolutely correct for misplacing and going full OT on this tidbit. Congratulation Rafael and Marta!

some people look down on tennis players. women play best of three sets sometimes 2 to 3 hours in 90 + HEAT. and men play best of 5 sets most of the time men play hottest part of the day. 2 to 5 hours mens matches. not a lot of basketball players could handle the heat.

Tennis???

Sí señor. Tenis is like baloncesto, (basketball) but the pelota (ball) is somewhat smaller.
There are a few other diferencias. The net doesn't hang up so high, and you are not allowed to grab or bump into your opponent. Also, the time is not limited.

Similarities?
Yes, fans often grumble about the referees. People complain about the uniforms. There are “second chance points” but not after rebounds.

¡Viva españa! . ¡Viva asturias!
