Tennis Twosome
Style - 4/5
Grandma really gives it her all here, taking such a step forwards we almost expect her to put her hand through the TV. Meanwhile Granddad displays some laid-back confidence,hitting returns back with experienced nonchalance.
Gaming face - 4/5
Both players are focused, but it's Granny's tooth-bared concentration that scores the big points.
Enthusiasm - 4/5
Before a ball has been played, Grandma is already guffawing about telling her friends she's off to play tennis again. Granddad looks on sagely, but he's obviously hooked.
Skill - 3/5
He's on his game, she's off the pace. Granddad needs to find a worthy opponent who can match his own casual talents.
