Italian tennis player and trainer Dionisio Poggi challenged young people to think about creative ways to continue playing tennis during quarantine in Italy. So two teenagers started to play tennis with each other from the rooftop of each of their buildings. The idea was so successful that 13-year-old Vittoria O. and 11-year-old Carola P., from the Liguria region, began to “meet” every day to practice with each other.

The girls do not play in the same category because they are not the same age, but both girls compete at high level. That is why they can practice with each other from far away. The pair posted a video of them playing on April 17^th. It has been copied and shared millions of times by people from many places around the world.
