Tennis

Tennis is a racquet sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). It involves hitting a lightweight ball over a net into the opponent’s court, aiming to score points by landing the ball within the defined boundaries of the court. The game is played on various surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard courts. Players score points by winning rallies, which occur when the opponent fails to return the ball legally. Tennis is governed by a set of standardized rules and is known for its competitive nature and the physical and mental skills required to excel. Major tournaments, known as Grand Slams, include the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open.
