Tennis

Tennis is a racquet sport typically played between two individuals (singles) or two teams of two players each (doubles). The game takes place on a rectangular court divided by a net, and players use stringed racquets to hit a lightweight, felt-covered ball over the net into the opponent’s court. The objective is to score points by landing the ball in the opponent’s designated area such that they are unable to return it successfully. Tennis is governed by a set of rules and regulations, including specific scoring systems, such as games, sets, and matches. The sport can be played on various surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard courts, each affecting the speed and style of play. Tennis is also a popular competitive sport, featuring prestigious tournaments like Wimbledon, the US Open, the French Open, and the Australian Open.
