The tactics of the doubles game are markedly different from the tactics of "single" tennis players. Suffice it to say that if in an individual game the points are mostly won from the back line, then in the doubles - near the grid, while doubles meetings have a higher pace of play. However, even here the serve is an important tactical element. According to statistics, in a doubles game, most games are won on their innings. Playing in pairs requires athletes to have full understanding and exceptional concentration, because here they have to keep in view not only the ball, but also the partner and both opponents. Usually the players in the pair are selected so that they complement each other as much as possible - both in technique and temperament. The individual characteristics of the players determine their initial location on the court, as well as the order of innings: the stronger partner in this component of the game in each game serves first. In addition to the general, in a pair game it is necessary to follow some specific unwritten laws: for example, the "candle" is always reflected by the partner through whose head it is launched. There are also psychological nuances here. For players in a pair, the ability to adequately respond to a partner's mistake, to morally support him in a tense moment of the game is very important. According to eyewitnesses, the native greenhouse was the Frenchman Jacques Brunion, a legend of pre-war tennis.

Depending on the category of competition, there are tactics of individual and pair play, each of which, in turn, is divided into tactics of the one who serves (or the pair that serves) and the tactics of the host (host pair).
Tennis, as in any game, has its own unwritten laws and commandments. For example, one of them says that "twisted" balls land more often within the field. When choosing a game plan for a particular match are determined by the coverage of the court ("fast" and "slow" courts), as well as knowledge of strengths and weaknesses of the opponent and his physical condition: yes, tennis players usually try to prevent the opponent from entering the net. if he plays poorly on the fly, can deliberately "call" to her. The overall success of the game depends not only on the quality of the played combinations and techniques, but also on the ability to improvise at the right time, to play unexpectedly for the opponent. A tennis match is a kind of "long distance race", in which there are several culminating moments. It is believed that in the game the key is to draw the third point, and in the game - the fourth game. It is also worth remembering that the game is not only a martial arts technique, but also a struggle of nerves

The quality of a tennis player's game depends not only on physical strength. The Australian Rod Laver, who was not known for his appearance, was, however, incredibly endurance and had a truly iron fist, which allowed him to beat hard and powerful. Experts often use the concept of feeling the ball, ie the skills of possession of the ball: born and acquired through training and play practice. In addition, the variety of movements performed by a tennis player (running, bending, jumping, hitting, etc.) requires a variety of physical training.
The tennis player seeks to impose his game on the opponent, which would allow him to make the most of his own strengths and neutralize the opponent's advantages. Also very important are not only your favorite techniques and "place" of the game, but also its pace (experts distinguish fast, slow and torn pace of the game). For example, changing the rhythm in combination with changing the length of the strokes is considered the most advantageous when playing from the back line.

Blows on the ball vary depending on the technique of their ex*****on, the trajectory of the ball before and after the collision with the racket and other moments. In the arsenal of modern tennis players a lot of different shots: laughter (powerful blow to the head on the falling ball), short shot (after which the ball lands right behind the net on the "foreign" half of the court), topspin (twisted shot with a high trajectory flight of the ball), a blow in the opposite direction (ie in the place of the court, which the opponent has just left) and others. Each of the players has their own crown blows. For example, the Swede Bjorn Borg was a recognized master of strong twists from the back line.

The main components of tennis equipment: running, racket grip and kicking the ball. It is also extremely important to watch the ball and the opponent and choose the right position on the court.
The basis of the basics - a tennis step, ie a way to move a tennis player on the court. In modern tennis there are: ordinary, cross (or surrounding) and additional steps. The choice of step is determined by the game situation and the location of the tennis player on the court.

When performing various techniques, grip means a lot, ie how an athlete holds a racket. There are three grips: eastern, western and continental. Each of them has certain advantages and disadvantages, and the main difference between the grips is the position of the tennis player's palm relative to the handle of the racket. In the western grip the palm is under the handle, in the continental (it is also called universal) - above the handle, and in the eastern - behind it. In modern tennis, the most common oriental grip, it is from it that beginners begin to master the basics of technology. But with any type of grip, you need to be confident and strong.

In the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, during the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, people were reluctant to play tennis, both in France and in other European countries. In England, tennis fell into disrepair after he lost the king's patronage. But in the end the game was not forgotten. And in 1859 a new stage in the development of tennis began, when the first match of the English university teams was held in Haymankert. The revival of tennis began: new tennis clubs began to be created. And in sports clubs for cricket, croquet and golf tennis sections began to open. Entering the world tennis arena was hampered by the fact that each country had its own rules of the game. This made it impossible to hold international matches. In the middle of the XIX century there were huge changes in the conduct of games, because tennis began to be played on open courts, although before that the game was held exclusively indoors.

The rules have changed throughout the development of the game. Yes, for many years, the introduction of the ball into the game, ie the serve, did not apply to the game, and it was impossible to win a point from the serve.
Serving the ball into the game was carried out by servants - Fr. servani, therefore, the introduction of the ball into the game was called service - serviz. Years, centuries passed and the rules of ball game changed. Nowadays, serving is a very important technical element of tennis, and is a means of winning points and putting pressure on the opponent. Despite the changes in tennis, in all international games the serve is called service.

The game developed so rapidly that by the end of the XVI century in Paris was equipped with more than 250 special courts, and the number of players exceeded seven thousand. Depending on the ability to lead the game, the players were gradually divided into three categories: beginner, partner and master. The masters had the greatest privileges. They were given the right to build and own courts for the game. One of the masters developed the first rules of tennis in 1542, but they were published only 50 years later. The game also gained recognition from the British, who called it "real tennis".
It is officially believed that the word "tennis" originated from the Old French word "Tenèts!", Which was uttered by a player while passing the ball. Later, the word was borrowed by the British and adapted to their language - so the word "Tennis", which spread.

More than four centuries passed before the strings appeared on the racket. The game began to gain even more popularity, followed by the clergy began to play wealthy Frenchmen. The game was captured by a huge number of people. And in 1480, King Louis XI of France issued a decree that strictly regulated the process of making tennis balls. The terms of the order were as follows: the ball must be filled with good leather and wool and must not contain sand, chalk, lime, sawdust, moss, ash or earth. Following men in the XV - XVI centuries, women also became interested in playing ball. In 1427, in Paris, a young woman named Margot [3] played so brilliantly that only the best male players could match her speed of passing the ball.

If we do not take into account the games of the ancient Greeks and Romans, in which the ball was hit by hand or with a wooden stick, the first mention of a game similar to tennis can be found in the XII-XIII centuries in Italy. The game was called "jidoko", and the ball was reflected in a gloved hand, a wooden shield or a leather belt.
It is officially believed [2] that tennis appeared in the XIV century in modern France. The French nobility was fascinated by the so-called "palm game" ("same where pom"), which had a great influence on the development of modern tennis. The first amateur players were the clergy, and not only young seminarians, but also priests of higher ranks: archbishops and cardinals. The game was held in the walls of monasteries, mostly on the stone floor. Later, for the convenience of playing on the hand hitting the ball, they began to wear a glove and bounce the ball with wooden objects, which were later transformed into so-called rackets. These wooden objects bore little resemblance to a modern racket.

Tennis or tennis is a sport in which two players play against each other, or two teams of two players each, team against team, on a court-divided court. in half with a cross grid.
The object of the game is to throw the racket through the net to the opponent's side so that the ball falls within the opponent's court and he cannot bounce it back.
During the game, players use additional game equipment - a racket. It is designed to reflect, change the direction and power of the rubber tennis ball. The match is won by the one who gets the most wins in sets according to the rules of the game, which apply according to gender, age of the tennis player and so on.
