Tennis Introduction

Tennis is a racket sport played on a rectangular court - on grass, clay, or hard surfaces - in which players use a strung racket to hit a felt ball over a net into the opponent's court. It is played as singles or doubles. The four Grand Slam tournaments - the Australian Open, French Open (Roland Garros), Wimbledon, and US Open - are the sport's most prestigious events. The sport's greatest players include Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic - who have dominated men's tennis - alongside Serena Williams and Steffi Graf among the greatest women's players. This sub-category tests knowledge of tennis rules, scoring, famous players, Grand Slam history, major rivalries, and the technical and tactical dimensions of a sport defined by individual excellence and competitive drama.
