Centuries old, yet more relevant than ever.
Tennis traces its roots back to 12th-century France and today has more than 29 million U.S. players. Played on clay, grass, or hard courts, tennis is a game of precision, endurance, and strategy. Matches are singles or doubles, scored in sets, and often hinge on serving power or defensive rallies. Whether you're chasing your first rally or training for league play, tennis is a sport built on tradition but constantly evolving.
