What are 5 examples of personification about tennis I could use??

Personification means to give nonhuman objects human-like characteristics. Regarding tennis, the easiest object to give human qualities seems to be the tennis ball. Since the ball is moving at a fast place in a straight line, you can give it verbs such as "leaped" or "bounded" (especially since it has to fly over the net). If the hit was weak, you could describe the ball as "shuffling tiredly toward the opponent's feet" for example. In this case, you are reflecting the human ability to feel tired onto the ball. If the ball hits the net, you can say that the net "seized" or "snatched" the ball, preventing it from crossing to the opponent's end of the court.


Of course, you can also use personification in different parts of the game. When describing the moment of contact between the racket and the ball, you can discuss how the racket "slapped" or "smacked" the ball and how the individual wires on the racket "trembled of fear" from the ferocity of the hit.
