Tennis

Tennis is a racquet sport played between either two individuals (singles) or two teams of two players each (doubles). The objective of the game is to strike a ball with a racquet and hit it over a net into the opponent’s court, with the aim of scoring points by making the ball land in the opponents’ designated area while preventing them from returning it.

Games are played on various surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard courts, with each surface affecting the ball’s behavior and play style. Scoring in tennis involves a system of points, games, and sets, culminating in a match win. Major tournaments, known as Grand Slams, include the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open.

Tennis is characterized by its technical and strategic elements, requiring players to possess skill, agility, and endurance. It is governed by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and has a significant following worldwide, both recreationally and professionally.
