Tennis is a racquet sport where a player (singles) or two players (Doubles) on each side hit a rubber ball back and forth on a court and try and hit it pass the other person. It started in the 19th century and has been growing in popularity ever since. It starts out with a serve completely behind the baseline. The serve has to go in the diagonal box form it and then they just rally back and forth until someone's scores the point. If you miss the first serve, you are allowed one more serve, otherwise the other player gets the point. If the ball hits the net and then goes over it's called a let and the player gets that serve over. While playing the ball cannot bounce twice. However, you are allowed to hit it before it bounces, you don't have to let it bounce. The best Pros play in the ATP Tour.
