Tennis

Tennis is a racket sport generally played between two players (singles) or two teams of two players each (doubles). The objective of the game is to hit a lightweight ball over a net and into the opponent’s court with the aim of scoring points by making the ball land in the designated areas of their court where the opponent cannot return it. The game is played on various surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard courts, and adheres to specific rules set by international governing bodies such as the International Tennis Federation (ITF). Matches are typically played in sets, and scoring follows a unique system of points, games, and sets. Tennis is a popular global sport, known for its competitive tournaments, including the four Grand Slam events: the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open.
