Tennis

Tennis is a racket sport played between two players (singles) or two teams of two players each (doubles). The game is played on a rectangular court divided by a net. Players use a stringed racket to hit a felt-covered rubber ball over the net into the opponent’s court. The objective is to score points by landing the ball in the opponent’s court in such a way that they cannot return it. Tennis can be played on various surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard courts, each affecting the speed and style of play. The sport is governed by a specific set of rules and scoring system, including the concepts of games, sets, and matches. Major tournaments, such as the Grand Slam events, are highly prestigious and attract top players from around the world. Tennis is known for its combination of physical skill, mental strategy, and competitive spirit.
