Description
Thwock. The sound bounces off the walls of the village court in late June, when the evenings stretch long and golden. Grand-père, in his faded white shorts, sends another lob high over the net, and his granddaughter sprints back to the baseline to chase it down. The score has been lost somewhere in the second set. Neither of them cares, and the swallows keep swooping low over the clay as the light fades.
Tennis is a game of rhythm, patience and the occasional glorious shot, and this little court celebrates every part of it. Give it to a junior player after her first tournament, a club coach at the end of the season, or a couple who met across the net. Display it in a trophy cabinet beside medals and ribbons, or keep it on a desk as a reminder to book the next match.
