Hockey is globally perceived as the winter white privilege sport. Tennis is the summer counterpart though I'd argue tennis is less homogenous.

Which is weird because tennis has one of the lowest entry costs of any sport, provided your municipality provides public nets.

It’s the only sport I know of where the balls expire. Tennis lessons for my son was kinda expensive. Also he hated it after like three days lol

If I need answers on boobies I’ll ask you. We are talking about balls here. You are out of your element!

You can play with year old balls just fine, they're just less bouncy. Which is actually what i recommend for new players since they tend to get a bit more control that way. I never had lessons. Just ran around for fun.

Do Russians care about white privilege?
