Tennis

Tennis is a racket sport played between either two players (singles) or two teams of two players each (doubles). The objective of the game is to hit a ball over a net into the opponent’s court, aiming to score points by making the ball land in areas of the court that the opponent cannot reach or return. The game is played on a rectangular court divided by a net and can be played on various surfaces, including grass, clay, or hard courts. Players use special rackets to strike a felt-covered rubber ball. Tennis is characterized by its unique scoring system, which includes points, games, and sets. The sport has a rich history and is governed by international federations, with major tournaments such as the Grand Slam events (Wimbledon, the US Open, the French Open, and the Australian Open) attracting global attention.
