Maria Sharapova at Australian Open 2020
Time stands still during a rally at a tennis match. The air is thick with anticipation. The world falls silent except for the on-court sounds. And the ball becomes a symbol of hope for every spectator. But all that changes when the point ends. The winning player pumps their fist in exultation. The crowd cheers him on. But the loser is already plotting a comeback. All's not lost yet. It ain't over till the fat lady sings.
Clearly, a match of tennis involves a gamut of emotions. And you, too, can feel them if you catch the finals of the Australian Open. You might even want to watch it on the big screen at Doolally Taproom in Navi Mumbai. But before that, try out the quiz we set up for two tennis enthusiasts, or "tennis maniac" as the winner calls himself. See if you can beat his score. Test your knowledge. The game is on.
