Tennis is a racket sport played between either 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, aiming to score points by making the ball land in a designated area on the opponent’s side while preventing them from returning it successfully. The game is played on a rectangular court divided by a net, with specific lines marking the service area and baselines.
Players use a racket to strike the ball, which is typically made of rubber and covered with felt. Tennis can be played on various surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard courts, each affecting the speed and bounce of the ball. The scoring system in tennis includes points, games, and sets, with matches typically proceeding until a player or team wins a predetermined number of sets.
Tennis is a widely popular sport globally, with professional circuits, major tournaments like Wimbledon and the US Open, and a strong culture of recreational play. It emphasizes skill, strategy, and athleticism.
