'What Colour Is a Tennis Ball?' Among Top Questions on the Rules of Tennis in the UK During Wimbledon 2018

The colour of tennis balls had caught up in trend with social media users earlier this year. Netizens could not decide whether it was green or yellow. While some voted for the former, many gave a thumbs up for the later. And now the ongoing Wimbledon tennis tournament, GoogleTrends has released a list of top questions and other insights on the game. One of among the top five questions around tennis was, "What colour is a tennis ball?"

The tweet reads, "'What colour is a tennis ball?' is one of the all-time top questions on the rules of tennis in the UK."
