You can also use 喜欢in the other sentence: '中国喜欢看网球的人多吗?'/Are there many people who are into tennis in China?' It is phrased quite differently than English, but it's the most natural expression in Chinese. changye, I had to google gateball. Let me throw in one more 垒球/lei3 qiu2/softball.

December 18, 2007 at 8:18 AM国外枪手大多数是帮人做功课的。考试要查学生证，上面有照片，很难用枪手吧。我以前在澳大利亚读大学，监考的不是老师，都是退休的老爷爷、老奶奶，非常铁面无私。时间到了就得把笔放下来，一秒钟也不给你。
