Tennis

Tennis is a racket sport that can be played individually (singles) or in teams of two (doubles). The objective of the game is to hit a ball over a net into the opponent’s court in such a way that the opponent is unable to return it. The game is played on a rectangular court with a net dividing it into two equal halves. Players score points by successfully hitting the ball in a manner that their opponent cannot play it back.

The sport is governed by specific rules that dictate how the game is played, including serving, scoring, and the dimensions of the court and equipment used. Tennis is known for its unique scoring system, which includes points, games, sets, and matches. Major tournaments, such as the Grand Slam events (the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open), are highly prestigious and draw worldwide attention.

Tennis can be played on various surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard court, each influencing the game’s dynamics. It is a widely popular sport, known for its athleticism and strategic elements, attracting players of all skill levels and ages.
