Tennis

Tennis is a game which is interesting and played from ball. People of all walks of life have come to enjoy this sport. Although tennis had began as an aristocratic sport it has grown to be a pleasurable activity for all. The modern game of tennis originated in the 19th century in the UK. Only upper-class Englishmen could play the game but now anyone who can hold a racket is eligible to play. Even men and women in wheelchairs are capable of playing this sport. Also, millions of spectators from around the globe come and watch the games played in the Grand Slam tournaments.
                                 The ball needs to land from the server into the opposite service
box. There are two service boxes on each side of the court. When the ball reaches the other side, the
receiver must be able to hit the ball back over the net within one drop on the ground. If the ball hits the
ground more than once then the point goes to the server. Later the roles switch and the receiver
becomes the server while the server must be able to intercept the fast moving ball. However, if you are
playing doubles then the four players take turns serving. When a team member is serving then the
player must move forward toward the net and volley the shots.
