Tennis at the Olympics is an event which requires incredible skill and a great amount of concentration. The game of tennis is played between either two or four athletes. The objective of the game is to hit the tennis ball with the racket into the opposing player's court. If the tennis ball lands inside the white outlines and the player misses the return, a point is rewarded to the player with the hit. The winner is determined by who can win three out of the six sets.

 

Olympic Tennis consists of four events:

-Men's Singles

-Men's Doubles

-Women's Singles

-Women's Doubles
