Tennis

Tennis is a competitive racquet sport played between either two players (singles) or two teams of two players each (doubles). The objective of the game is to hit a ball over a net into the opponent’s court in such a way that they are unable to return it within the allowed boundaries. Players use a racquet to strike a felt-covered rubber ball, while the game is typically played on grass, clay, or hard courts. Points are scored when an opponent fails to return the ball correctly, and matches are structured in sets and games. Tennis has a rich history and is governed by a set of established rules, with professional tournaments such as the Grand Slam events being among the most prestigious in the sport. The game emphasizes skills such as agility, strategy, and precision.
