Tennis vs. Badminton\n=====================\n\nStatistics don't lie. The speed and the stamina required for badminton are far greater than for any other racket sport. At the 1985 All England (Tennis) Championships, Boris Becker defeated Kevin Curren 6-3, 6-7, 7-6, 6-4. At the 1985 World Badminton Championships in Calgary, Canada, Han Jian of China defeated Morten Frost of Denmark, 14-18, 15-10, 15-8. The following is a statistical comparison of those matches. \n------------------------------------------------------------\nTennis\n======\nTime:                  3 hrs & 18 mins\nBall/Shuttle in Play:  18 mins\nMatch Intensity*:      9 percent\nRallies:               299  \nShots:       1,004  \nShots Per Rally:       3.4\nDistance Covered:      2 miles  \n\nBadminton\n==========\nTime:  1 hr & 16 mins\nBall/Shuttle in Play:  37 mins\nMatch Intensity*:  48 percent\nRallies:  146\nShots:  1,972\nShots Per Rally:  3.5\nDistance Covered:  4 miles\n\n-----------------------------------------------------------\n* The actual time the ball/shuttle was in flight, divided by the length of the match. \n-----------------------------------------------------------\nNote that the badminton players competed for half the time, yet ran twice as far and hit nearly twice as many shots. \n-----------------------------------------------------------

First, you get a partner and get on a tennis court. Then, at the start of the game, choose who will serve first.\n\nEX:You serve 1st. Start behind the bottom line of the court on you side. Hit the ball into the opposite square on your opponent's side of the court. Make sure you don't pass the little white line in the center. If you don't in the first try, that is a fault. If the ball hits the top of the net and goes over to the other side, that is a let. Redo. No faults, no points. You get a second try. Try to hit the opposite square on your opponents side of the court. If you miss again, that is a double fault and your opponent gets a point. The score would say 0-15.(server's score is always first)Now, you switch sides(from one square to the other)If you succeed, and he/she can't return it, that is called an ace. You get one point(15-15)Now you go back to where you started.(It alternates each point)Now, you serve, and your opponent hits it back to you. It has to go over the net, and in front the line from where you serve, and not in the two boxes at the sides of the court.(Only in play for doubles)It is 40-30 now. You score. You win the game. NOT THE WHOLE GAME! The whole game is called a match. A match is seperated into sets, then games. You win the first set,(out of your choise, 3 or 5 sets.) 6-4.(6 games to win a set and by 2 games. There is a tiebraker, but I don't know that. Sorry.)2nd set:You win 7-5. You win the Match.(If played out of 3 sets.) I don't know if I'm missing anything, but that's my basic way of playing tennis the best way I could explain it.

Rule 1. Opponents stand on opposite sides of the court. The player who delivers the ball to start the point is called the server. The player who stands opposite and cross-court from the server is the receiver.\n\nRule 2. The right to serve, receive, choose your side, or give the opponent these choices is decided by a toss of a coin or racquet. If the choice of service or receiver is chosen, the opponent chooses which side to start.\n\nRule 3. The server shall stand behind the baseline on the deuce court within the boundaries of the singles court when playing singles and within the doubles sideline when playing doubles. See court dimensions. All even points are played from the deuce court and odd number points played from the advantage court. The server shall not serve until the receiver is ready. Serves are made from the deuce court to the opponents service box on the deuce court. Advantage court to advantage box. If the server misses his target twice, he loses the point. If the ball hits the net and goes in the correct service box, another serve is granted. If the server steps on the baseline before contact is made, the serve is deemed a fault.\n\nRule 4. The receiver is deemed ready if an attempt is made to return the server's ball. The receiver can stand where he likes but must let the ball bounce in the service box. If the ball does not land in the service box, it is deemed a fault and a second serve is given. If the ball is hit by either opponent before the ball bounces, the server wins the point.\n\nRule 5. The server always calls his score first. If the server wins the first point, he gets a score of 15. Scoring is done like a clock. See example below. Love means zero in tennis. The second point is called 30. The third point is called 45 (now-a-days known as 40) and game is won when the score goes back to love. If the score is 40-40, also known as deuce, one side must win by two points. Advantage-In means if the server wins the next point, he wins the game. Advantage-Out means the receiver has a chance to win the game on the next point.\n\nLOVE 15-30-40\n\nRule 5. After the game, the opponents serve. Games equal 1. The first to win 6 games, by two, wins the set. The first to win 2 sets wins the match. If the score is 6-6, a tie-breaker is played. This is scored by one's. The first team to score 7 points winning by two wins the set. The tiebreaker continues until one side wins by two. Hence, Game-Set-Match.\n\nRule 6. If the ball goes into the net, or outside the boundaries of the court, the player who hit that ball loses the point. If the ball hits the net during the point and goes into the opponents court, the ball is in play. A player loses the point if he touches the net, drops his racquet while hitting the ball, bounces the ball over the net, hits a part of the surroundings such as the roof, or a tree, the ball touches him or his partner, he deliberately tries to distract the opponent.\n\nRule 7. A let is called during the point if a ball rolls on the court or there is a distraction from someone besides the players on the court.\n\nRule 8. A ball that lands on the line is good.\n\nRule 9. If players serve out of turn or serve to the wrong person or court, the point or game will stand and order will be resumed following the point or game.\n\n\nThe server is required to keep his feet in nearly the same position during the serve. The server's feet may be raised off the ground, but walking or running are not permitted, so as to prevent the opponent being misled as to where the serve will originate. Breaching this rule or exceeding the permitted part of the court constitutes a ''foot fault''.\n\nIn a legal service, the ball travels over the net without touching it and into the diagonally opposite service court. If the ball hits the net but lands in the service court, this is a ''let service'', which is void, and the service is attempted again. If the first service is otherwise

The serve. You have to be able to at least get the ball in play. With other strokes, your opponent can effect how you hit them. The serve is all on you.

-5 second limit to inbounding the ball from the sidline\n-8 second limit to crossing midcourt\n-3 second limit in the key\n-24 seconds to take a shot\n\nThose are the rules that I know of; I think there's one more that I forgot to include.

both\nit's whatever serve the game calls for. if you try a jump serve and they're having a tough time receiving it, keep it up, you found one of their weaknesses. but when they start to adjust to it, switch it up and try to challenge them again. if you don't have good control on your jump serve, don't do it. it's more embarassing to miss a jump serve so unless you're confident in it, don't use it. \nand regular serving, you'll usually have better control. it's harder to spot serve with a jump serve. so if you're going for placement, go with regular. if you're going for power and speed, go with jump (IF you can)\n\nbut always remember, never keep serving the same way too long! unless they really just CANT receive it, you need to change it up. they'll start to adjust too much

It's actually pretty complicated but here goes (just remember everything is in two's):\nThe serve is made starting on the left behind the baseline (the farthest box). It has to cross the net (in the air) and then go into the service box on the opposite side. But you have two chances to get the ball in. That is, unless you get the ball in the box and hit the net. There you have a let and still two chances (unless it's the second chance).\n\nThen, the ball is bantied about until somebody doesn't hit it before it hits the ground twice, someone hits it out of bounds or someone hits the net. The ball can only bouce one on your side, but doesn't have to bounce. \n\nThen the server switches sides and the steps are repeated. \n\nWhat's quirky is scoring. You have to win by two. Points are awared in increments of 15, 30, 40 then win. But when the players are tied it's deuce. You have to win the game by two. When someone wins the point after duece it's advantage. If that player wins the next point they win the point. If not it's back to deuce. \n\nSets are to 6 unless both get to 5, then it's to 7 unless both get to six and then it goes to a tiebreaker. You have to win by two or two in the tiebreaker.\n\nMatches are won based on the number of sets. 3 set match you have to win 2 sets. 5 set match you have to win 3 sets.

There have been a few records from different fighters with different styles but fastest "ever" doesn't exist only because all of the greatest fighters of all time were not all recorded but anyway.........Fastest kick ever recorded was by Frank Dux (the man Jean Claude Van Damme portrayed in the Bloodsport movie) at 72 miles per hour with a knockout and then there was this one http://www.metacafe.com/watch/121618/2_sec_ko/ which was 2 seconds for a flying knee knockout!!\nFastest knockout by punch ever recorded (less than 3 seconds) but the "winner" was disqualified and you can see why after you watch it!!! http://video.fosfor.se/fastest-knockout-ever/. Also Frank Shamrock - the undefeated middleweight UFC Champion held a couple of records for the fastest wins by sumission which were less than 20 seconds. Certainly Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris were incredibly fast; also Benny "The Jet" Urquidez and Jim "Superfoot" Wallace also had world records at some point for their incredible kicking speed.

Roddick seems to have the better serve as he serves more aces, a higher percentage and also has the rest of the game to back if up. Also, Taylor Dent's serve breaks down under pressure while Andy's does not.

Depends on the surface: \n\nOn Grass Pete Sampras in his prime is the best has an edge over Federer, Sampras had the best serve in the game.\n\nOn Hard court, Sampras and Federer would be evenly matched. \n\nClay court: Many players. \n\nOverall: Sampras is the greatest for now, unless Federer beats his grand slams record.
