Tennis is a racket sport played between two players (singles) or two teams of two players each (doubles). It is played on a rectangular court divided by a net. The objective of the game is to hit a felt-covered rubber ball over the net and into the opponent’s court in such a way that they are unable to return it within the prescribed dimensions. The sport involves a variety of strokes, including serves, volleys, and groundstrokes. Matches are typically played in sets, and the scoring system includes points, games, and sets. Tennis can be played on different surfaces, such as grass, clay, and hard courts, each affecting the ball’s behavior and the style of play. The sport has a rich history and is governed by international rules, with major tournaments like Wimbledon, the US Open, the French Open, and the Australian Open being highly prestigious events in the tennis calendar.
