Tennis is played on a court either by two or four people who are on opposite sides of a net that divides the court into two equal parts. It can be played indoors or outdoors. Players try to hit the ball so that it either bounces twice on the opposite side of the court or so that it cannot be returned. Playing tennis involves strategy, proper form and bouncing feet. You must be quick on the feet in this game. There is more court to cover than in racquetball or squash. Each point begins with a serve. One player serves until a game is finished. The first player to win four points wins the game. The scoring is love (zero), 15, 30, 40. If opponents are tied at 40-40, it is called deuce; the next point would be either advantage server (in) or receiver (out). A match is usually the best of three sets. And the first player to reach six games wins the set.
