Tennis

Tennis is a racket sport played between either two individuals (singles) or two teams of two players each (doubles). The objective of the game is to hit a lightweight ball over a net into the opponent’s court, aiming to land it within the designated boundaries. Players score points by maneuvering the ball in such a way that the opponent is unable to return it successfully.

The game is typically played on rectangular courts that can be made of grass, clay, or hard surfaces, and it involves a series of sets and games. The scoring system in tennis includes points, games, sets, and matches, with players needing to win a specific number of games to win a set, and a certain number of sets to win a match. Tennis is governed by the rules set by the International Tennis Federation and has a rich history with prestigious tournaments, such as Wimbledon and the US Open. It is characterized by its emphasis on skill, agility, and strategy, making it a popular sport globally.
