1. Badminton

Badminton racquets have a longer and a smaller head. They are used to hit shuttlecocks rather than tennis balls.

2. Wood

Wood courts are used for indoor basketball.

3. Fault

In tennis, errors are called faults. Strokes are assigned to golf players for errors. Points are only assigned for good things like when your opponent misses the ball.

4. Lose the serve

You only get two tries to get it over the net and in the correct box, after that the other side gets a chance.

5. Backhand

In order for you to hit the ball on the opposite side of the racquet hand, the back of your hand faces the ball when you swing.

6. Backhand

Backhand is generally weaker and harder to control. This is because the muscle group you use changes and it's harder to have control across your body.

7. All of the above.

Muscular strength is important for hitting the ball with speed and accuracy. It's also important to have good leg strength since a person playing tennis is often in a bent knee position to be ready to move across the court quickly. Aerobic exercise is also key since a tennis player must quickly run around the court to chase the balls. Flexibility is also important for sudden changes of direction and long reaches.  

8. Triples

Singles and Doubles are the most typical competition, but mixed doubles are also popular. In singles there is only one person on each side of the court. For doubles there are two people one each side of the court. Mixed doubles is when the doubles are made up of both male and female players.  

9. Serve

A serve puts the tennis ball into play and starts the volley. The volley is the hitting the ball back and forth over the net. At the end of each volley a point is awarded.

10. Double fault

Two equals double so a double fault is when a server hits two faults in a row. The serve is then awarded to the other side.
