About

Tennis is a popular racket sport played globally by millions. It involves hitting a ball over a net on a rectangular court, which can be made of grass, clay, or hard surfaces. The game is played either as singles or doubles, with the objective of making the ball land in the opponent's court in such a way that they cannot return it. The scoring system is unique, with points marked as 15, 30, and 40, and a game won when a player leads by two points unless the score is tied at 40, known as "deuce." Tennis is renowned for its prestigious tournaments, including the Grand Slam events: Wimbledon, the US Open, the Australian Open, and the French Open. These events attract a massive global audience and are considered the pinnacle of competitive tennis. The sport has a rich history, evolving from early forms like "jeu de paume" and "real tennis." It requires skill, strategy, and physical endurance, making it a captivating spectator sport with a fan base of over a billion people worldwide. The International Tennis Federation governs the sport, ensuring consistency in rules and competitions across different countries.
