Overview
Tennis is a sport played with a racket and ball and can be enjoyed individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles).
Basic Rules
- The game begins with a coin toss to determine who serves first and from which side they want to start.
- The server must serve diagonally into the opposite service box from behind the baseline.
- A point starts with a serve and continues until the ball is not returned correctly.
- Players alternate serving games and must win by at least two points once they reach deuce (40-40).
Scoring
The points progress as follows: 0 (love), 15, 30, 40, and game point. A player must win a game by two points.
