It's not just a population map. It's also a map of the western and eastern blocs. Tennis is pretty bourgeois. East Germany is super defined. Although I find the Czech Republic and the Balearic islands interesting. Lots of British tourists want lots of courts?
Germany and East Germany being defined however very much reflect the population density in Germany however.
Tennis was big in Finland during the yuppie times afaik. Now you see abandoned tennis courts pretty often.
Same happening for padel hah
Also wealth within these blocs. The south of England is super blue even though it doesn’t have a necessarily high population density apart from London. It’s just it’s far more bourgeois and aristoratic than the north.
