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. Players use a racket to strike a felt-covered rubber ball over the net into the opponent’s court, aiming to score points by landing the ball within the opponent’s designated playing area.
The objective is to hit the ball in such a way that the opponent is unable to return it successfully. The sport is governed by specific rules, including the scoring system, which comprises points, games, sets, and matches. Tennis is known for its agility, strategy, and physical endurance.
Tennis is played on various surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard courts, each affecting the style of play and match dynamics. It is a popular recreational activity and professional sport, with major tournaments known as Grand Slams, including the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open. The game has a rich history and has evolved into a globally recognized sport, with millions of participants and spectators around the world.
