Tennis

Tennis is a racket sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). The objective of the game is to hit a felt-covered rubber ball over a net into the opponent’s court, aiming to win points by making the ball land in the designated playing area and preventing the opponent from returning it. The game is played on various surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard courts. Players use rackets with strings to strike the ball, and matches are typically played in sets, with players needing to win a specific number of games to win a set. Tennis is governed by an official set of rules and is recognized worldwide, featuring major tournaments known as Grand Slams, such as Wimbledon and the US Open.
