Tennis is a racket sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). The objective of the game is to hit a ball over a net into the opponent’s court in such a way that the opponent is unable to return it successfully. The game is played on a rectangular court divided by a net, and points are scored when a player fails to return the ball within the prescribed boundaries. Tennis originated in France in the late 12th century and has evolved into various formats, including professional tournaments with significant global reach. The sport is known for its specific scoring system—comprising points, games, and sets—and for major competitions such as the Grand Slam tournaments: the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. Players use different types of strokes, including serves, forehands, and backhands, characterized by technique, strategy, and athleticism. Tennis is known for its physical and mental demands and is played at both amateur and professional levels worldwide.
