Torres Novas Torres Novas is a city belonging to the Portuguese district of Santarém with about 37000 inhabitants (2004), divided in 17 parishes. The county of Torres Novas was conquered by the “D.Afonso Henriques” in 1148 and then its headquarters received charter in 1190, by “D.Sancho I”. About the length of Torres Novas, only one can say that goes back to the Roman church, as were discovered the ruins of a Roman city, "Vila Cardilium."

The story of Tennis • Although the origin of tennis is unclear, many believe that the tennis was invented in 1873 by Major Walter Clopton Wingfield, a British officer. Although Wingfield claimed that the model of the game, which he called "Sphairistiké" (playing a ball), many people believe that he adapted the principles of a popular English game of tennis court, squash rackets, and badmington. • Recently players prefer to call the game of Wingfield - tennis. • The game was introduced in Bermuda in 1873, and Bermuda was brought to the United States by Mary Ewing Outerbridge, New York. • The first game of tennis in the United States was probably played in 1874 in Staten Island Cricket and Baseball Club.
My Fave Player Roger Federer was born on August 8, 1981 in Basel in Switzerland. In 2004 he became the Number 1 of the world in tennis and the first man since Mats Wilander in 1988 to win three of the four Grand Slam tournaments of tennis in the same season (2004), made it repeated in 2006 and 2007 Federer is also the first tennis player in history to win the tournament, Wimbledon and US Open in the same season followed four years (2004-2007). Federer was number 1 juvenile, and already at the beginning of the career won significant victories, but his career really start when he won the title at Wimbledon in 2003. In the same year, was champion of the Masters Cup in Houston, and ended the year as number 2 in world rankings. Federer is known by the purity of his gestures and the intelligence of his game. He is called the rubber-man becaus of the release of his movements. He speaks fluent German, Swiss, German, English and French, conducting a press conference in four languages. Roger Federer is also known for being a good person. Moreover, it has an organization, the Roger Federer Foundation, which helps needy children in South Africa, homeland of his mother.
My fave Food My favourite food is junk food. I love McDonald's food and it’s delicious, but this kind of food is unhealthy and when people eat too much, could provoce serious diseases like “Cholestrole”. I have a balanced diet. For breakfast I eat cereals with milk, for lunch and dinner I usually eat fish or meat, and for tea I eat yorgurt, bread with some butter and sometimes I eat two “Panquecas”.
