Tennis

Tennis is a racket sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). The game is played on a rectangular court divided by a net, with players using a stringed racket to hit a ball over the net and into the opponent’s side of the court. The objective is to score points by ensuring that the ball lands in the designated areas of the opponent’s court, while preventing the opponent from returning it successfully. The game is governed by specific rules, including how points, games, and sets are scored. Tennis is recognized for its combination of physical endurance, strategic thinking, and skillful techniques. Major professional tournaments, such as the Grand Slam events, highlight its global popularity.
