Its for the Tennis Lingo (don't know about tennis? here you go!)


Tennis is one of the most prestigious game played! It is usually played between two players (singles) or can be played doubles two players at each side. It is played with racquets and a rubber ball. As far as it rules are concerned they are a little different from other games. As for as its history is concerned it is believed that it is originated in 12th Century but the ball was struck with palm of the hand until when the 16th Century racket came into use. But from 19th Century many changes had occurred in its rules and regulations.


 Now it comes to how points (score) are determined or counted they are as follows:
  • “Love “in tennis means Zero.
  • When you win a shot in the beginning you get 15 points then the next wining points give you 30 and then 40, after that you win a game point. 6 or 7 game point makes a set. Most of the time a match has 3 sets but sometimes depending on the game it goes up to 5 sets. One who win three set wins the match (it the match has 5 sets).
  • In the international tennis players are ranked according to their points that win after winning a match or tournament they play.
