Tennis is a racket sport played either 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, where players use a stringed racket to strike a lightweight ball over the net into the opponent’s court. The objective is to score points by making the ball land in the opponent’s designated area, with the opponent unable to return it successfully. The game is governed by a specific set of rules, including the scoring system, which consists of points, games, and sets. Tennis is played on various surfaces, such as grass, clay, and hard courts, each affecting the speed and bounce of the ball. It is a popular global sport with professional competitions like Grand Slam tournaments, including the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. Additionally, tennis promotes physical fitness, agility, and strategic thinking.
