"I haven't won anything five times, except I win all the time in Uno. I don't think that counts." - Serena Williams about the prospect of winning the tournament in Miami for the fifth time. Poor old Vee - not only did she lost so many times in Grand Slam finals against Serena, now she's even losing in Uno...
Tennis is a game played between two players or between two teams of two players. Players use a stringed racquet to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt (most of the time of bright yellow colour) over a net into the opponent's court.
The game originated in Europe in the late 19th century as "lawn tennis", but its roots go back to the ancient racquet sport of "real tennis", which itself evolved from an earlier ball game played around the 12th century in France.
The term "tennis" derives from the French word tenez, which means "take it" — a warning from the server to the receiver.
