00:00Smash, slice, I'm not talking about food preparation, I'm talking about the friendly game of tennis.
00:14We're here at one of the many public parks in Dubai where people young and old practice
00:21their game.
00:24On long weekends or after work hours, these parks turn into social arenas where tennis
00:29virtuosos perfect their swing.
00:31It's a good way to unwind, exercise, and even make friends.
00:37No wonder Dubai residents are keen to take up the sport.
00:41Tennis is a very good exercise.
00:43I've learned this sport way back in Saudi Arabia because I'm visiting these parks here
00:50in Dubai for playing tennis.
00:54I've been playing tennis since I was seven years old.
00:56I love Dubai for it has a lot of great tennis courts and the facilities of the tennis court
01:02are great.
01:03It's a nice place to meet people who love and like to play tennis.
01:08I've played tennis since I was a kid.
01:10For me, sport is very important, so all the time I mix sport with my career, with my profession.
01:16I would not feel satisfied, happy at the end of the day if I would not play tennis.
01:20I'm playing tennis with my friends.
01:22This is just like our bonding time and unwinding.
01:26I made so many friends because of tennis.
01:29We love the same game.
01:31I found my first coach.
01:33He's from the Philippines.
01:34He's very good at coaching me and exciting.
01:37I actually improved my tennis a lot from him.
01:40For me, playing tennis is a good way to relax and hopefully shed a few kilos.
01:46So, come on, let's play.
01:50Yeah!
