Tennis is a sport played between two players (singles) or two teams of two players each (doubles). The objective is to hit a ball with a racket over a net into the opponent’s court, with the aim of scoring points by making the ball land in the prescribed areas of the opposing side. The game is played on various surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard courts.
Players score points by successfully hitting the ball where the opponent cannot return it, and matches are typically played in sets and games. The sport is governed by a set of rules established by the International Tennis Federation (ITF). Tennis is known for its unique scoring system, including terms such as “love,” “15,” “30,” “40,” and “game.”
It is highly popular worldwide and features major tournaments, including the four Grand Slam events: the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. Tennis can be played recreationally and competitively, making it a versatile sport enjoyed by people of varying ages and skill levels.
