Understanding Tennis
Tennis is played on rectangular courts by two players (singles) or two teams of two (doubles). The goal is to hit the ball over the net into the opponent’s court within boundaries.
Basic Rules of Tennis:
- Scoring: 15, 30, 40, and game; players must win 6 games to take a set.
- Match Format: Best of 3 or 5 sets.
- Surfaces: Grass, clay, or hard courts, each affecting ball speed and play style.
- Equipment: Racket, tennis balls, and non-marking shoes.
Understanding these fundamentals helps fans appreciate how surface, stamina, and technique shape every match.
Tennis History and Global Growth
The modern game of tennis evolved in late 19th-century England, but its roots date back to medieval France’s jeu de paume (“game of the palm”).
Since then, tennis has grown into a global sport, with the Grand Slam tournaments — Wimbledon, the US Open, the French Open, and the Australian Open — representing the pinnacle of competition.
The Philippines has its own proud tennis history, with athletes like Treat Huey, Alex Eala, and Francis Casey Alcantara bringing recognition to Filipino tennis on the international stage.
