First lady Michelle Obama says she hopes to still be playing tennis when she's 90.

Obama visited the U.S. Open for the first time Friday to promote her campaign against childhood obesity and praise the U.S. Tennis Association's initiative to build kid-sized courts.

Such a strong face.

THAT is the face that is ALWAYS there. Every other face she has is a conscious distortion of that face to try and suit conditions. But when she is not trying to be anything in particular, that's her face.

Thanks for the vid.

0b0z0 has a coordination of a 12-year old girl!

Noticed that he had no respect for the tennis court? You don’t go on a tennis court, especially a painted one, with your dress shoes on!

He tried the juvenile competitiveness with a 5-year-old kid by trying a shot behind his arse that he promptly missed!

YUCK! In the close up of her at the net she has huge camel toe! Plus who wears a jacket to play tennis? I’m sure she’s not working up a sweat - maybe that’s why she needs it.

Can you imagine having her for your mom and this is the angry mommy face you get when you are out of line? I feel so sorry for her daughters.

Ok I give up - why is it called “Ten and Under Tennis” - age 10? None of those kids are under the age of 10 - is it ten tries to hit it over the net? Ten dollars for the foam balls when regular tennis balls have been used for decades.... ?

What is 10 and Under Tennis?

10 and Under Tennis follows the same logic as other youth sports like baseball or soccer, which use kid-sized courts and kid-sized equipment. Kids learn to play baseball by first playing T-ball; they use shorter, lighter bats and larger, softer balls. Kids learning basketball shoot baskets with kid-sized balls on lowered backboards and they play soccer on smaller fields with smaller goals. Now with 10 and Under Tennis, balls bounce lower, don’t move as fast through the air and are easier to hit. Racquets are sized for small hands and courts are smaller and easier to cover. By using this format, the benefits are immediate and within a short time kids are rallying, playing, and excited to keep playing. That means kids will have more fun and less frustration. They’re playing real tennis and having real fun—and that’s what is most important.

Red foam and red felt:
For kids 8 years old and under, a red ball moves slower through the air, bounces lower and travels less distance.

Orange ball:
For kids 9 & 10 years old, an orange low-compression, ball moves a little faster and travels farther than the ball used with the younger group but still has a lower bounce than the standard yellow ball.

Green ball:
For kids ages 10-12 years old. As children become more accomplished with their strokes and tactics, they can move to the full-sized court and use the green ball, which is slightly lighter and slower-moving than a yellow ball, giving children more time to get to and return shots.

That’s a good point about the jacket, especially since she’s running around half-naked the rest of the time. Most inappropriately dressed 99% of the time.

Wookies always growl when they hit the ball.
