Tennis is a racquet sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). It is played on a rectangular court divided by a net, with players using a stringed racquet to hit a ball over the net into the opponent’s court. The objective is to score points by making the ball land in the opponent’s court in such a way that they are unable to return it.
The game has various surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard courts, each influencing the play style and strategies used. Tennis is governed by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and has various major tournaments, including the Grand Slam events: the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open. Scoring in tennis is unique, with points counted as 15, 30, 40, and game, and matches can be played in different formats such as best of three or best of five sets.
Overall, tennis is known for its combination of physical skill, strategy, and mental toughness, making it a popular sport worldwide.
