n. A sport that involves either one on one matches or tag-teaming for a 2 on 2 match. Requires massive amounts of eye-hand coordination and stamina because unless you're playing doubles, you are on your own running around a court for several hours after balls that fly as a fast as a paintball. Tennis is considered a "gentleman's" sport, so gloating, taunting or showing signs of frustration is often looked down upon. To add to the "gentleman" aspect of the game, spectators are to keep quiet and watch respectfully at all times, though brief clapping is acceptable. Basically, next to golf, tennis is the quietest sport in the world.
"Dude, I went to watch my friend play this tennis match the other day, but I wasn't even allowed to cheer or yell! It was pretty boring... but those tennis chicks are really hot."

One of the greatest sports you will ever find. Lots of people think that tennis is a "pussy" sport. Well listen to this. How many "pussys" do you think can play 3-5 hours with only 5 min. breaks after every two games (When even the games can go quite long themselves)
I play tennis; I am not a pussy.

A racket sport that can sometimes take hours to play, so it is therefore very tiring. Some dunce male football(soccer) players call male tennis players 'poofters', implying that they are gay, but football is played with lots of boys running around with no shirt on. Famous tennis players include Roger Federer, Nadal, and Andy Murray and Andy Roddick.
Football(soccer) player: Hey, poofter, why are you playing tennis?
Tennis player: You can hardly call me a poofter, at least I don't run around with lots of boys with no shirt on!
Football(soccer) player: ...
