Tennis

Tennis is a racket sport played between two players (singles) or two teams of two players each (doubles). The game is played on a rectangular court divided by a net, where players use a racket to hit a felt-covered rubber ball over the net into the opponent’s half of the court. The primary objective is to score points by landing the ball within the boundaries of the opposing side’s court, making it difficult for the opponent to return it. Points are accumulated to win games, and games are accumulated to win sets, ultimately leading to winning the match. Tennis is governed by specific rules and regulations, including scoring, serving techniques, and the layout of the court. It is a sport recognized for its combination of physical skill, strategy, and mental acuity, with prestigious tournaments such as Wimbledon, the US Open, the French Open, and the Australian Open.
