Tennis is a sport usually played in singles or in doubles where the players bounce a ball over a net.

The objective of tennis is to hit the ball so that it bounces over the net to the opponent's side. Points are awarded to a player or team when the ball fails to be correctly returned by the opponents. The player or team with the most points at the end wins.

• Each player competes for themselves.
• If players are playing doubles one player stands in the front and the other player stands back opposite the corner of the player in the front.

• A tennis racket used to bounce the ball over the net.

• Grip tape which is used to make the handle of their racket more comfortable in their hand and allows them to move with more ease.
• Arm sleeves help their muscles from tightening and provide support.
