Tennis is a racket sport played between either two players (singles) or two teams of two players each (doubles). The objective of the game is to hit a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over a net and into the opponent’s court in such a manner that the opponent is unable to return the ball. The game is played on a rectangular court, which is divided by a net, with specific dimensions for singles and doubles play. Points are scored when the opposing player fails to return the ball within the boundaries of the court. The sport is governed by a set of rules and can be played on various surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard courts. Tennis is known for its competitive nature and is played both recreationally and professionally, featuring major tournaments such as the Grand Slam events: the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open.
