Tennis is a racquet sport played between two players (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). The game is played on a rectangular court divided by a net. Players use a stringed racquet to hit a felt-covered rubber ball over the net, aiming to land it in the opponent’s designated court area. Points are scored when one player fails to return the ball as required, resulting in the opponent earning a point. Games are played in a sequence of sets, with players competing to win a predetermined number of sets. Tennis requires physical agility, coordination, and strategic thinking, and it can be played on various surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard courts. The sport is governed by international regulations and is popular worldwide, featuring prestigious tournaments such as the Grand Slam events: the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open.
