TENNIS

Introduce:
-Tennis is a racket sport that is played either individually against a single
opponent or between two teams of two players. Each player uses a tennis
racket that is strung with cord to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with
felt over or around a net and into the opponent's court. The player who is
unable to return the ball validly will not gain a point, while the opposite
player will.
- The original forms of tennis developed in France during the late Middle
Ages. The modern form of tennis originated in Birmingham, England, in
the late 19th century.
How to play
Decide who serves first. Since the tennis serve is an inherent
advantage to the player serving, it is only fair to let chance determine who
will get to. The first serve of each game starts on the right side of the
court, also known as the «deuce side» of the court. The next point comes
from the left side, also known as the «ad court» . Whether you use your left
hand or right hand, your forehand and backhand groundstrokes will be
instrumental in winning points, along with your serve.

When you play tennis, you need to prepare the necessary tools such
