Practice Reading: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #39224 Greenridge
Instructions ›
Read the text from a magazine about sport and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.
For eighty years, the Greenridge Open has been one of the most important competitions in the tennis calendar. This year's event has been the best yet. Fans were excited to see Will Parker, the young Australian player. Many didn't expect him to do well as this was his first competition in six months due to a knee injury. However, Parker was faster, fitter and stronger than ever. Of course, he still needed more match practice after such a long absence. However, he and his training team should be pleased with how he played at the Open. And the event certainly benefitted from the extra media interest Parker's return attracted.
