How to become a Lawn Tennis Player

The lawn tennis player is more of a way of life than a profession. To be effective, you must maintain top physical condition at all times and continually polish and perfect your technique. Lawn tennis matches are either best of two or best of three sets. To win, a player must win six games and outscore his opponent by a minimum of two games. If both players are deadlocked at 6-6 in a set, a tiebreaker is played.

• Tennis is a racket sport that may be played either solo (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles).
• Each player strikes a hollow rubber ball wrapped in felt over or over a net and onto the opponent's court using a tennis racquet connected with string.
• The objective of the game is to manipulate the ball in such a manner that the opponent cannot play a legitimate return. The player that is unable to return the ball loses a point, while the opposing player gains a point.
• Tennis is an Olympic sport that is enjoyed by people from all walks of life and all ages.
