Tennis is a racket sport played between two players (singles) or two teams of two players each (doubles). It is played on a rectangular court divided by a net, with the objective of hitting a lightweight ball over the net into the opponent’s side of the court in such a way that they are unable to return it successfully. Players use rackets to strike the ball and can employ various types of shots, including serves, volleys, and groundstrokes. Tennis can be played on different surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard courts, each affecting the speed and style of play. The game is governed by a set of rules established by the International Tennis Federation (ITF). Matches are typically played in a best-of-three or best-of-five sets format, with points scored through a series of games within each set. Tennis is known for its global popularity and is featured prominently in major tournaments such as Wimbledon, the US Open, the French Open, and the Australian Open.
