Transcript: Tennis tennis, original name lawn tennis, game in which two opposing players (singles) or pairs of players (doubles) use tautly strung rackets to hit a ball of specified size, weight, and bounce over a net on a rectangular court. The inventor of modern tennis has been disputed, but the officially recognized centennial of the game in 1973 commemorated its introduction by Major Walter Clopton Wingfield in 1873. He published the first book of rules that year and took out a patent on his game in 1874. History Orgin of the game Tennis originally was known as lawn tennis, and formally still is in Britain, because it was played on grass courts by Victorian gentlemen and ladies. The origins of the game can be traced to a 12th–13th-century French handball game called jeu de paume (“game of the palm”), from which was derived a complex indoor racket-and-ball game: real tennis. Origin Rules and regulation Rules A ball must land within bounds for play to continue; if a player hits the ball outside of bounds, this results in the loss of the point for them. Players/teams cannot touch the net or posts or cross onto the opponent’s side. Players/teams cannot carry the ball or catch it with the racquet. Players cannot hit the ball twice. Players must wait until the ball passes the net before they can return it. A player that does not return a live ball before it bounces twice loses the point. If the ball hits or touches the players, that counts as a penalty. If the racquet leaves the hand or verbal abuse occurs, a penalty is given. Any ball that bounces on the lines of boundary are considered good. A serve must bounce first before the receiving player can return it. According to the International Tennis Federation (ITF) – tennis' global governing body – regulations, a competitive tennis court must be rectangular in shape, measuring 23.77 metres long. The width, however, differs for doubles (10.97 metres) and singles (8.23 metres). Court Scoring Tennis is played in points: Four points win a game, six games win a set, and two or three sets win a match. You can decide how long you want your game to be but most matches are played as best-of-three or five set contests. Scoring Ground strokes Types All games of tennis consist of six basic strokes: the serve, forehand groundstroke, backhand groundstroke, forehand volley, backhand volley, and the overhead smash.
