Tennis is a fast-paced sport played on a rectangular court divided by a net, where players use rackets to hit a ball back and forth over the net. The game can be played either as singles (one player per side) or doubles (two players per side). The objective is to score points by making the ball land within the boundaries of the opponent’s court, with each player or team trying to outmaneuver the other. Tennis matches are typically played in a series of sets, with players needing to win a set by securing a certain number of games. Points are scored in a unique way, with "love" representing zero, and players moving through 15, 30, and 40 to win a game. Tennis requires agility, endurance, and strategic thinking. It is played professionally on both grass, clay, and hard courts, with major tournaments like Wimbledon, the US Open, the French Open, and the Australian Open forming the Grand Slam series.
