Tennis - Rules and Gameplay

November 05, 2024

We break down the foundational aspects of tennis, from basic rules and scoring to major tournaments. Tennis matches are structured with points, games, and sets, following a unique scoring system—love, 15, 30, 40, and game—with matches decided by a best-of-three or best-of-five set format. We explore the Grand Slam tournaments—the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and U.S. Open—each bringing its own unique style and tradition to the sport. Key competitions also include the ATP and WTA Tours, Davis Cup, and Olympic events. Finally, we touch on tactical play styles such as baseline play, serve and volley, and counterpunching, each highlighting tennis's blend of skill and strategy. With these insights, tennis becomes more than just a game; it’s an art form that requires both mental and physical resilience.
