Tennis facts

The Court:

A tennis court is typically 78 feet (23.77 meters) long and 27 feet (8.23 meters) wide for singles matches, with slightly wider dimensions for doubles matches.
The court is divided into two equal halves by a net that stands 3 feet (0.914 meters) high at the center.
Scoring:

Tennis uses a unique scoring system. Players start at "Love" (0), then score 15, 30, and 40. When both players are at 40, it's called "deuce," and a player must win two consecutive points to win the game.
To win a set, a player or team must win at least six games and have a two-game lead. If the set reaches 6-6, a tiebreaker is often played to determine the winner.
Matches are typically best-of-three sets for women and best-of-five sets for men in Grand Slam events.
Serving:

The server stands behind the baseline, diagonally opposite the receiver.
The server has two chances (first and second serves) to put the ball into the opponent's service box.
The serve must land in the service box diagonally across the net.
Rally and Points:

After the serve, players engage in a rally, hitting the ball back and forth over the net.
Points are won by hitting the ball in such a way that the opponent is unable to return it legally.
The ball can bounce once on each side before a shot must be returned.
Winning Points:

A player wins a point when:
The opponent fails to return the ball within the court boundaries.
The opponent hits the ball into the net.
The opponent hits the ball out of bounds.
The opponent commits a foot fault during service.
Changing Ends:

Players change ends of the court after the first, third, fifth games, and so on, during each set.
This ensures that environmental conditions, such as wind and sunlight, affect both players equally.
Deuce and Advantage:

When the score is tied at 40-40 (deuce), a player must win two consecutive points to secure the game. The first point after deuce is called "advantage in" or "ad-in," and the second point, if won, secures the game.
Tennis Attire:

Players typically wear comfortable athletic clothing, including tennis shoes designed for the court surface.
Traditionally, at Wimbledon, players wear predominantly white clothing.
Tennis Equipment:

Players use a tennis racquet to hit the ball. Racquets come in various sizes and materials.
Tennis balls are covered in felt and are pressurized to maintain bounce.
Types of Court Surfaces:

There are three primary court surfaces: grass, clay, and hard court, each with its characteristics affecting the pace and bounce of the ball.
Professional Tours:

Tennis has separate professional tours for men (ATP) and women (WTA), with players competing in various tournaments throughout the year.
Grand Slam tournaments, such as Wimbledon and the US Open, are the most prestigious events in tennis.
Wheelchair Tennis:

Wheelchair tennis allows athletes with disabilities to participate in the sport, with some modified rules and equipment.
Mixed Doubles:

In mixed doubles, a male and a female player team up as partners.
Coaching:

In most professional matches, players are not allowed to receive coaching during play, although they can consult their coaches during set breaks.
Tennis is a sport that demands physical fitness, mental toughness, and strategic thinking. It has a rich history and a passionate global following, making it one of the most popular and widely played sports in the world.
