Tennis

Tennis is a racquet sport played either individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). The objective is to hit a lightweight, hollow rubber ball covered with felt over a net and into the opponent’s court in such a way that the opponent is unable to return it. The game is played on various surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard courts. Points are scored when one player fails to return the ball within the court’s boundaries. Tennis is governed by a set of rules and uses a scoring system that includes points, games, sets, and matches. It is a popular sport worldwide, known for its combination of physical agility, strategy, and mental concentration.
