Tennis

Tennis is a racket sport that can be played individually (singles) or in pairs (doubles), where players hit a felt-covered rubber ball over a net into the opponent’s court. The objective is to score points by making the ball land in the opponent’s designated area in such a way that they cannot return it. The game is played on various surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard courts. Scoring in tennis follows a unique system, with points counted as 15, 30, 40, and game, with players needing to win six games to secure a set and usually requiring at least two sets to win a match. Tennis is known for its global popularity, rich history, and major competitions such as the Grand Slam tournaments—Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open. The sport demands physical fitness, agility, and strategic thinking, making it both physically challenging and intellectually engaging.
