The sport that involves a net and a ball, played on a court, is tennis. It is a popular racquet sport where players (singles) or teams (doubles) aim to score points by hitting a ball over the net, landing it within the opponent's court. The game is played on various surfaces, including grass, clay, and hard courts, each affecting the game's play style. Matches consist of a series of sets and games, with players alternating serves. Tennis has a rich history, famous tournaments like Wimbledon, the US Open, the French Open, and the Australian Open, and is enjoyed both recreationally and competitively worldwide.
