The Flat Belly Diet is a weight-loss diet from the editors of Prevention magazine. The diet promises quick weight loss â especially around the middle â in about a month. The creators of the diet say you don't have to exercise to achieve a flat belly but that exercise can boost your results.
The Tennis Court Oath kick-started the French Revolution. It was literally an oath sworn in a tennis court. Due to the dominance the nobility/clergy had over the Third Estate, The Third Estate established the National Assembly on June 17, 1789. Three days later, on the 20th, the National Assembly was locked out of their usual meeting place. So, they congregated to a near by tennis court on Versailles street. I find this event significant because The Third Estate was willing to take up the responsibility of having a say in the government in order to recieve the rights they deserve.
Dave Seminara wrote a great story about an astonishing historic rally between two womenâs tennis players, and I will share some facts from his article here on Womenâs Tennis Blog. Vicki Nelson and Jean Hepner played the longest rally in the history of professional tennis, which included 643 shots and was played when Hepner had a set point in the second set tiebreak, which lasted 1 hour and 47 minutes on its own. Can you believe it? After the 29-minute long rally Nelson went for a winner and won the point. She was also the winner of the match, after 6 hours and 31 minutes of play. Final score was 6-4 7-6(11). Not surprisingly, the marathon was the longest match in tennis history for nearly twenty years, and is still the longest match completed on a single day. When the rally was over, Nelson collapsed with cramps in her legs.
