- An Introduction To Tennis
Thanks to the wide coverage that television and other media gives to the game, tennis is now one of the most popular sports. How does one define the game? It is a game played with racquets and a light ball between two players. The players stand on opposite sides of a net placed in the center on a rectangular court that may be made of grass, clay or asphalt. It can also be played between two teams of two players. - Table Tennis
Table tennis is a game similar to lawn tennis, usually played by two or four players on a table with wooden paddles and a small hollow plastic ball. As in lawn or indoor tennis, the table has a net that divides the playing area into two portions. However, during the service in table tennis, the ball must bounce once before clearing the net and again bounce before being struck by the receiver. The player returning the ball should not let the ball bounce again on his side after striking the ball. - Tennis Courts
The game of tennis is played on a court, a rectangular (78 feet by 27 feet for singles matches, 78 feet by 36 feet for doubles matches) flat surface made of grass, clay or concrete. A net runs parallel with the baselines across the width of the court, dividing it into two equal sides. The net is 3 feet 6 inches high at the posts and 3 feet high in the center. - Tennis Rackets
It goes without saying that even though the skill of the sportsman is the most integral factor for a winning performance, the equipment is also important. In the case of tennis, it is the racquet that can lend a player the advantage.
