Tennis

Tennis is a sport played between two players (singles) or two teams of two players each (doubles) on a rectangular court divided by a net. The objective of the game is to hit a lightweight ball with a racket so that it bounces on the opponent’s side of the court in a manner that makes it difficult for the opponent to return it. Tennis can be played on various surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard courts.

Points are scored when one player fails to return the ball within the boundaries of the court, and games are played in a series of sets. The game is distinguished by its scoring system, which includes points, games, sets, and matches. The sport has a rich history and includes major tournaments such as Wimbledon, the US Open, the French Open, and the Australian Open, which are part of the Grand Slam events. Tennis is known for its emphasis on skill, strategy, and athleticism.
