Tennis

Tennis is a racket sport played between either two players (singles) or two teams of two players each (doubles). The game involves hitting a lightweight ball over a net into the opponent’s court, with the aim of scoring points by making the ball land in areas where the opponent is unable to return it. Players use a stringed racket to strike the ball, and matches are typically played on various surfaces such as grass, clay, and hard courts. The scoring system in tennis includes points, games, and sets, with players needing to win a certain number of sets to win a match. Tennis is governed by a set of rules and is played at both recreational and professional levels worldwide, with major tournaments like Wimbledon and the US Open being among the most prestigious in the sport.
