The game of tennis (formerly called lawn tennis) is said to have it's origin from France in the 14th century. Tennis was later played in America (USA) during the 19th century. Still within the 19th century, the game was further developed in England.
Tennis is played on a rectangular court with a net dividing it into two equal halves. It is shown in the image below:
Two opposing players (called singles) or a pair of players on each side (termed doubles) play the game of tennis.
When played by a pair of players (doubles), the doubles may be mixed on either side (that is, a teammate comprising of a male and a female).

To play the game of tennis, the players make use of an oval shaped racket with a tightly crossed strings to strike a small round ball of fixed weight and size.
The player holds the racket on it's handle, enabling them to have a firm grip; while also attempting to tactically hit the ball over the net, into the playing margins of the opponent's landing half.
Note: A player gets point whenever the opponent fail to properly and correctly return the ball within the prescribed dimensions of the court.
