Tennis is a racket sport played between two individuals (singles) or two teams of two players each (doubles). The game involves hitting a lightweight ball over a net and into the opponent’s court using rackets. Points are scored when a player fails to return the ball within the prescribed boundaries.

The sport is governed by a set of rules defined by the International Tennis Federation (ITF). Matches are typically played in sets, with players needing to win a predetermined number of games to secure a set. Notable tournaments include the Grand Slam events: the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open.
