Tennis is a sport in which 2 players or 2 teams of 2 compete against each other. The goal of each of the players (teams) is to throw the ball to the opponent’s side with a racket in such a way that the opponent cannot reflect it. The player (team) with the most points wins.

Equipment used in the sport: To play tennis, each player needs a racket, one ball, and a court with a net. A tennis racket has a bigger grip and a bigger racket face than a badminton racket has. A standard racket weighs between 9.8 ounces and 10.9 ounces, and its length ranges from 27 inches to 29 inches. This is due to the large weight of the tennis ball, 2 ounces (58 grams). A tennis ball is usually made of rubber and covered with felt.
Court size: A tennis court is 78 feet (23.77 meters) in length. The courts used for singles matches are 27 feet (8.23 meters) wide, while doubles courts are 36 feet (10.97 meters) wide.
