Definition of Tennis from Artificial Intelligence (AI)
"Tennis is a captivating sport with a rich history and unique scoring system. The term "love" in tennis means zero, and its origin is unclear, with theories suggesting it comes from the French word "l'oeuf" meaning egg, or the phrase "playing for love," meaning without stakes. A tennis match consists of sets, games and points, with a set won by the first player or doubles team to win six games with a two-game margin. The scoring system involves calling points with unique terms like "15", "30", and "40", apparently derived from medieval French. Whether you are a recreational player, seasoned player, professional or simply an everyday enthusiast, tennis offers continuous excitement and challenge."
