Tennis
Tennis - A Sport of Skill, Strategy, and Stamina
Introduction
Tennis is a globally popular racket sport that combines power, precision, and endurance. Played on different surfaces like hard courts, clay courts, and grass courts, tennis is a test of both mental and physical ability. Governed by the ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals), WTA (Women’s Tennis Association), and ITF (International Tennis Federation), the sport is played at amateur, collegiate, and professional levels worldwide.
How the Game is Played.
- Tennis is played in singles (1v1) or doubles (2v2) formats.
- Players use a racket to hit a felt-covered ball over a net, aiming to land it in the opponent’s court.
- The objective is to win points by making shots that the opponent cannot return.
Scoring System
- Serving: Players must serve behind the baseline, aiming to land the ball in the service box.
- Volleys: Shots hit before the ball bounces, typically near the net.
- Groundstrokes: Forehand and backhand shots from the baseline.
- Break Points: Opportunities to win a game when the opponent is serving.
Types of Tennis Courts
- Hard Court: A fast surface that produces consistent ball bounce (e.g., US Open, Australian Open).
- Clay Court: A slower surface that favors spin and endurance (e.g., French Open).
- Grass Court: A fast and unpredictable surface (e.g., Wimbledon).

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
