Tennis is a sport played between two players or two teams of two players in which each player uses a racquet to hit a rubber, felt-covered ball over the net and into the opponent’s half of the playing area, or court. It evolved from the ancient game of court tennis, which morphed into lawn tennis and then into today’s version. This category is home to sites about the game, rules, players, and related fan pages.
