Resources Definition: "Tennis
is a game played between either two players ("singles") or two teams of
two players ("doubles"). Players use a stringed
racquet to strike a
hollow rubber
ball covered with felt
over a net into the opponent's
court. In some places
tennis is still called lawn tennis to distinguish it from
real tennis (also known
as royal tennis or court tennis), an older form of the game
that originated in
France in the
Middle Ages and is played
indoors on a very different court. Originating in
England in the late 19th
century, lawn tennis spread first throughout the English-speaking world,
particularly among the upper classes. Tennis is now once again an
Olympic sport and is
played at all levels of society, by all ages, and in many countries around
the world...".
