Tennis is a popular racket sport played between two opponents (singles) or two teams of two players each (doubles). The objective is to hit a ball over a net and into the opponent's court in a way that makes it difficult for them to return. Matches are divided into sets, games, and points, with players using strategy, agility, and precision to outplay each other.

Played on various surfaces like grass, clay, or hard courts, tennis demands speed, endurance, and coordination. Major tournaments include Wimbledon, the US Open, the French Open, and the Australian Open, which attract top-ranked players worldwide. Both recreational and professional tennis emphasize skill, sportsmanship, and mental focus, making it an exciting and competitive sport enjoyed by millions globally.
