HOW TO PLAY TENNIS
Players hit a ball to the opponents side of the net.
The point is to score points so that the ball does
not return to your side of the net within the
boundary lines.
 The first three points in tennis is scored as 15,
30, and 40. Then if you get the next pint you win.
If it is tied on 40 it is called deuce. To win the
deuce you must get the next two points.
 Matches are best of three, but in the men’s single
final it is then the best out of five.
