Answer 2

Tennis is a game played between either two players ("singles") or two teams of two players ("doubles"). Players use a stringed racquet to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over a net into the opponent's court. In some places tennis is still called lawn tennis to distinguish it from real tennis (also known as royal tennis or court tennis), an older form of the game that originated in France in the Middle Ages and is played indoors on a very different court. Originating in England in the late 19th century, lawn tennis spread first throughout the English-speaking world, particularly among the upper classes. Tennis is now once again an Olympic sport and is played at all levels of society, by all ages, and in many countries around the world. Except for the adoption of the tie-breaker in the 1970s, its rules have remained remarkably unchanged since the 1890s. Along with its millions of players, millions of people follow tennis as a spectator sport, especially the four Grand Slam tournaments

tennis is a sport. it is played on a largish court. two people play against each others with these things called raquets in singles. in doubles there are two on each side. you use a round, green ball to hit with. to start the point you hit a serve (an overhand action), and then you hit the ball with forehands and backhands. you should watch some tennis on TV sometime.

tennis is the opportunity to test ur limits, ur mental strength, ur physical condition, and ur willingness to work...it is about doing what u love and never quitting a match until uve left the building...its about u and ur oppoentn testing each other until one of u breaks...its about the purest and most intense of rivalries..between people not titles of teams...its about pumping ur fist when u hit the perfect passing shot , taling to urself after every single point, laffing when ur oppoent gets that lucky bounce off the top of the net, and crying with joy when ur journey is complete...there is no greater sport or anything then tennis...
