If a return is similar to the play of a ball in Tennis, there is a risk of defeating the partner. But if it’s a Frescobol return, a player ensures that the other player doesn’t feel like a loser. The play should be done bearing in mind a sense of generosity, so that the other can easily receive the serve. In this way it is not solely one person that wins - it’s a chance for both to win together.

IN TENNIS, the aim is to defeat the opponent. The player’s defeat is achieved by exposing his/ her mistakes and weaknesses. A good tennis player is one who gains an exact idea of the opponent’s weak point. This is what drives the match – exploring the rival’s faults. The pleasure of playing tennis comes from the triumph one player has over the other. It ends with one player’s joy and another’s sorrow.
