Tennis is a racquet sport played either individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). The objective is to hit a ball over a net into the opponent’s court in such a way that they are unable to return it. The game is played on a variety of surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard courts, and it is governed by specific rules, including the scoring system that includes points, games, and sets. Tennis matches are won by the player or team that successfully wins a predetermined number of sets. It is known for its combination of physical endurance, agility, and strategic gameplay. Tennis has a rich history and is played professionally around the world, featuring major tournaments such as Wimbledon, the US Open, the French Open, and the Australian Open, collectively known as the Grand Slam events. The term “tennis” itself is derived from the French word “tenez,” which means “take heed” or “hold,” an expression used by players to alert their opponents before serving the ball.
