Lawn tennis, often referred to simply as tennis, is a popular racket sport played between two individuals (singles) or two teams of two players each (doubles). The game is played on a rectangular court with a net in the middle, and the objective is to score points by hitting a ball over the net and into the opponent's side of the court in a way that makes it difficult or impossible for the opponent to return the ball.

Benefits of playing lawn tennis:

• Physical Fitness: Tennis is an excellent cardiovascular workout that helps improve endurance, strength, and agility. Players constantly move around the court, which helps burn calories and improve overall fitness.
• Weight Management: Tennis is an effective way to manage or lose weight due to the high level of physical activity involved.
• Mental Agility: Tennis requires strategic thinking and quick decision-making. Players must anticipate their opponent's moves and adjust their tactics accordingly, enhancing mental agility.
• Hand-Eye Coordination: The sport demands precise timing and coordination between hand and eye. Regular play can improve these skills, which can be valuable in other areas of life.
• Social Interaction: Tennis is often played in a social setting, either in friendly matches or as part of a club or league. It provides an opportunity to meet new people, build friendships, and develop a sense of community.
