Tennis

Tennis is a competitive sport played on a rectangular court, typically divided by a net, where two players (singles) or two teams of two players each (doubles) use rackets to hit a ball over the net. The objective is to score points by landing the ball in the opponent’s court in such a way that they cannot return it successfully. The game is governed by a set of rules and scoring system, which includes terms like “love” (zero points), “deuce,” and “advantage.” Tennis can be played on various surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard courts, each affecting the style of play and strategies employed. The sport has a rich history and is played at both amateur and professional levels, with major tournaments such as Wimbledon, the US Open, the French Open, and the Australian Open being part of the Grand Slam series.
