Tennis is a globally popular racket sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). The game involves hitting a small, lightweight ball over a net into the opponent's court using a tennis racket. The objective is to play the ball in such a way that the opponent is not able to play a valid return. Points are awarded whenever the opponent fails to return the ball within the prescribed dimensions of the court.

Originating in late 19th century England, tennis has evolved into an Olympic sport enjoyed by millions of players and fans around the world, from grassroots levels to professional tournaments like the Grand Slams. The game is appreciated not only for its competitive nature but also for its ability to improve physical fitness, including agility, speed, and strength. Whether played as a hobby or professionally, tennis offers a dynamic and engaging way to stay active and connect with others in a social and competitive setting.
