Tennis is a racquet sport 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 the objective of hitting a lightweight ball over the net into the opponent’s court in such a way that they cannot return it. Players use solid rackets to strike the ball, which can be made of various materials including wood or composite materials.
The sport is governed by a set of rules known as the “Laws of Tennis,” which cover aspects like scoring, service, and fault regulations. Points are scored when a player fails to correctly return the ball within the defined court boundaries. Tennis can be played on various surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard courts, each affecting the ball’s speed and behavior.
Tennis is notable for its rich history, prestigious tournaments like Wimbledon and the US Open, and its status as an Olympic sport. It emphasizes agility, precision, and strategic play, making it a popular recreational and competitive activity worldwide.
