After Zheng Qinwen won the Olympic championship in 2024, a new wave of tennis fever swept across China. On social media, tennis has truly become a 'lifestyle' for an increasing number of people. However, it is undeniable that, compared to other sports, truly enjoying the fun of playing tennis requires a longer period of getting started. The popularity of tennis, juxtaposed with its relatively high barrier to entry, is ironically what makes this sport the most interesting. Why do people become more and more hooked on playing it, even though it is obviously difficult to learn, expensive, and hard to book courts for? In this episode, we invite Li Dazang, who has 'half a childhood foundation' in the sport, to discuss why tennis is so popular and how to get started. At the end of the show, Teacher Li Dazang will also share his carefully curated recommendations for beginner tennis equipment (No Ads Version).
