Tennis

Tennis is a racket sport played between two players (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). It is played on a rectangular court divided by a net, with the objective of hitting a lightweight ball over the net into the opponent’s court in such a way that they cannot return it. Players use a racket to strike the ball, which must land within the designated boundaries of the court. The game is scored in points, games, and sets, with players aiming to win a specific number of games to win a set, and sets to win the match. Tennis can be played on various surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard court, each affecting the ball’s speed and bounce. The sport combines physical skill, strategic thinking, and competitive spirit.
