Tennis

Tennis is a widely played racket sport in which two players (singles) or two teams of two players each (doubles) compete to hit a lightweight ball over a net and into the opponent’s side of the court. The objective is to score points by landing the ball in the opponent’s court in such a way that they are unable to return it. Tennis can be played on various surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard courts, each influencing the game’s speed and style. The sport is governed by specific rules, including the scoring system, which consists of games, sets, and matches. Players serve the ball to start each point, and it must be hit within the boundaries of the court. Tennis is known for its dynamic gameplay, requiring a combination of physical skill, strategic thinking, and mental resilience. Major tournaments, such as the Grand Slam events, have contributed to its popularity worldwide.
