Tennis is a game with a ball and rackets on a special area (a court 23.77 m long and 8.23 ​​m wide), divided by a net fixed at a height of 1.07 m. The mesh is stretched over square and round pillars with a side and a diameter of no more than 15 cm.

Known since the days of the old French game, scoring is based on dividing the day by 24 hours (up to 24 games were played). The hours, in turn, were divided into four quarters; each successful ball equated to one quarter of an hour - 15 minutes corresponded to 15 points. Thus, one game lasted up to 60 points, and the counting was carried out as follows: 15, 30, 45, 60. Over time, the number of games decreased to 6 in one set, and every third successful ball is now counted for 10 points, i.e. instead of 45, 40 is declared.

OLYMPIC GAMES

Tennis is a game with a ball and rackets on a special area (a court 23.77 m long and 8.23 ​​m wide), divided by a net fixed at a height of 1.07 m. The net is stretched on pillars of square and circular cross-section with a side and a diameter of no more than 15 cm. The goal of the game is to send the ball to the opponent's half by hitting the racket so that he could not beat it off or beat it off in violation of the rules. 2 players (or 2 teams of 2 people) are on opposite sides of the net. One of them is serving and throws the ball into play, serves. The second player is the receiver. The task of the players is to direct the ball by striking the racket towards the opponent's side, while hitting the ball into the boundaries of the court. The player must have time to hit the ball before it touches the court more than once. The player at fault loses the rally and his opponent scores a point. Players need to collect points to win games.
