Tennis is one of the most popular sports in the world. Start with a brief history of the game. Then get all the rules and regulations regarding dress codes, court surfaces and layouts, various pieces of equipment, and the intricacies of the game, including warm-up, serve, winning and losing points, changing ends, and how to keep score. Explained in full detail are doubles, the different officials, acceptable behavior on the court, and the tournaments that make up the Grand Slam -- the Australian Open, French Open, US Open, and Wimbledon.
