Tennis is a sport usually played between two people or two teams of two people on each team. There is a net directly in the middle of a lined court in which each player hits a felt covered tennis ball over the net with a strung tennis racket.

The game is moderately easy to learn how to play, only following some very simple rules. But, playing tennis may get progressively harder if you are playing against advanced players.

The game starts out with a serve from one player on one side of the court. The serving player must successfully serve the ball over the net into the opposite side of the court. Then, the receiving player is allowed to let the ball hit the ground one time before returning the ball back to the serving opponent. Points are scored for the unsuccessful and legal return to the other side of the court.

There are many different techniques that players use in their serves to gain the advantage over their opponents, such as aces. But they are not necessary to gain points in the game of tennis.
