Tennis is the leader of all racquet sports says Ilissa Watnik. It is practiced outdoors and includes different types of tracks: dirt, grass, concrete or parquet. When it comes to playing, we can also distinguish between individual matches with two opponents and doubles with four.

Tennis matches consist of so-called games and sets. When a player or a pair wins six games, and as long as they maintain a difference of two with respect to the rival, they win the set. It is inspired by the French game Jeu de Paume, in which the ball was hit with the hand, and although one of its main characteristics is yellow balls, until 1973, they were white or black says Ilissa Watnik.
