Tennis

Tennis is a racket sport played between two individuals (singles) or two teams of two players each (doubles). The objective of the game is to strike a lightweight ball over a net using a racket, hitting the ball in such a way that the opponent is unable to return it. The game is played on a rectangular court divided by a net, and points are scored when the opposing side fails to successfully return the ball within the court boundaries. Tennis is governed by a set of rules and is played on various surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard courts. Matches are typically played in sets, with players or teams competing to win a pre-determined number of sets. The sport emphasizes agility, speed, and strategic thinking, making it a physically demanding and skill-based activity enjoyed by millions worldwide.
