Racquet Sports Events

Speedball, if nothing else, holds the honor of possessing the sporting world's most generic name. It does beat alternatives such as "Ball-on-String Hitting Game" or "Spherical Object of High Velocity." And "Racquetball" was already taken.

As far as sporting festivals go they don't come much purer than the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club's annual Championships, at Wimbledon.
