Tennis is a racquet sport that is played on a rectangular court, either indoors or outdoors, by two players (singles) or 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 in such a way that it cannot be returned. Players use a racquet to strike the ball, and points are scored when the opponent fails to return the ball within the prescribed boundaries of the court.
The game is governed by specific rules, including scoring systems (like games, sets, and matches), court dimensions, and equipment regulations. Tennis can be played on various surfaces including grass, clay, and hard courts, each of which affects the style of play. It has a rich history and is played competitively at various levels, including amateur, collegiate, and professional, with prestigious tournaments such as Wimbledon, the US Open, the French Open, and the Australian Open forming part of the Grand Slam series. The sport emphasizes skill, agility, and endurance, making it both physically demanding and strategically complex.
