🎾 How Does Tennis Work?
Tennis is played one on one, or two on two, which is called doubles. Players stand on opposite sides of a net and hit the ball back and forth with rackets. The ball can only bounce once on your side before you have to hit it back. Tennis courts come in different surfaces, like grass, red clay, or hard courts. The scoring is pretty funny too: instead of 1, 2, 3, players count 15, 30, 40, and zero is called love!
