Tennis

Tennis is a racket sport played between two players (singles) or two teams of two players each (doubles). The game is played on a rectangular court divided by a net, with players using their rackets to hit a ball back and forth over the net. The objective is to score points by landing the ball in the opponent’s court in such a way that they are unable to return it.

Tennis can be played on various surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard courts, each affecting the ball’s behavior and the style of play. The game is governed by specific rules, and players score points in a sequence of games that lead to sets and ultimately a match.

Tennis has a rich history and is played at recreational, collegiate, and professional levels globally. It includes major tournaments such as the Grand Slam events: the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. The sport is known for its physical demands, requiring agility, speed, and strategic thinking.
