Tennis

Tennis is a racket sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). It is played on a rectangular court, divided by a net, with the objective being to hit a tennis ball over the net into the opponent’s side of the court, ensuring that the ball lands within the designated boundaries. Players score points by successfully hitting the ball in a way that their opponent cannot return it.

The game can be played on various surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard courts, each contributing to different ball behaviors and playing styles. Tennis is governed by specific rules and scoring systems, with matches typically played in sets. The sport requires a combination of physical fitness, agility, precision, and strategic thinking. Tennis is popular worldwide, both as a recreational activity and as a professional sport, with prestigious tournaments such as Wimbledon and the US Open.
