ROGER "THE KING"

Have you ever played tennis? I am going to confess that I am a big tennis fan so I would like to tell the story of one of the greatest tennis players ever. Can you guess who I’m talking about?

RAFAEL NADAL

Hi guys!! Today I am going to tell you about a great tennis player: Rafael Nadal. Federer triumphed at the Australian open final against him but I'd like to talk about Nadal because even the losers are worthy of glory.

Rafael Nadal was born in Spain in 1986 and he has played tennis since he was a child. He won a lot of important titles in his career.

When he was 12 years old, he won two important titles. At 17 Nadal became the youngest male to reach the third round at Wimbledon since Boris Becker. Later he won 14 titles of the Grand Slam! He is an emblem of tennis.

TWO SPORTS & TWO CHAMPIONS

Hifriends! In this post we want talk about two sports and two champions  These sportsaren’t as popular as football  in Italy  but we like them and we would like to share our interest with you.

BASKETBALL

In Italian we call it Basket, short for what in English is basketball. It is a team sport where there are two 5 – player teams.

You have to use only your hands to score a point in the rival basket.

Basketball  was invented in 1891 by James Naismith, a Canadian P.E. teacher.

Now it is played all over the world, even though it is extremely popular in the  U.S.A.
