Tennis is a racket sport played between 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 in such a way that the opponent is unable to return it. The game is played on a rectangular court, which can be made of grass, clay, or hard surfaces, divided by a net in the center. Points are scored when the opponent fails to return the ball within the designated court boundaries.
Tennis matches are typically played in sets, with each set comprising a series of games. Players serve the ball, and the server must hit the ball into the correct area of the opponent’s service box. The rules of tennis specify how points are counted (using a unique scoring system of points, games, and sets) and outline various regulations regarding shots, faults, and the conduct of the game.
Tennis can be played recreationally or competitively at various levels, from local clubs to international tournaments such as the Grand Slam events (Wimbledon, US Open, French Open, and Australian Open). It emphasizes skill, strategy, and physical endurance, showcasing both athleticism and precision.
