What does TENNIS mean in Scrabble?
noun
A game in which two players, or two pairs of players, use rackets to hit a ball back and forth over a net stretched across a court.
Tennis is played on a marked rectangular court divided by a net, with points scored when a player fails to return the ball within bounds. The modern game, once distinguished as lawn tennis from an older indoor form, spread from English country lawns to the hard and clay courts used in today's major tournaments. Beyond the sport itself, tennis has given English several borrowed phrases, such as describing an even exchange of arguments as tennis being played with words.
