                      Tennis is a sport usually played between two players
                 (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles).
                 Each player uses a racket that is strung to strike a hollow rubber

                 ball which flies over a net into the opponent’s court. The object
                 of the game is to play the ball in such a way that the opponent
                 is not able to play a good return.

                      In this play, one player hits or serves the ball from a corner
                 of a marked out area called a court.  The opposite player’s goal

                 is to return the ball, bouncing it no more than once in his own
                 court, aiming for the other player to not be able to hit it.
