Xinhua news agency, Chongqing, October 2 (reporter Zhou Kai) - on October 1, Chongqing's first plate tennis court was officially opened and put into operation at Shengming Feiteng Sports Center on Tenglong Avenue, Nan'an District. Plate tennis, a popular national trend sport in Europe in recent years, was officially introduced into Chongqing.
"Plate tennis" originated in Mexico in the 1960s. At present, it has become the second largest sport after tennis and football in some European and American countries. "Plate tennis" combines the characteristics of tennis, squash and badminton. The court is similar to a fully closed badminton court, and the scoring rules are completely consistent with tennis. This sport was introduced into China in 2016, and the China Tennis Association officially decided to promote this sport in 2018.
"Plate tennis" athlete Zhang Bohou said that although "plate tennis" has entered China for only five years, it has a very rapid development momentum and is expected to join the Olympic Games. At present, the promotion of "plate tennis" in some domestic cities is very rapid, and many lovers participate in this sport. Shengming Feiteng Sports Center will speed up the promotion and training of "plate tennis" in Chongqing in the future. (end)
