Introduction
 This paper has been written to evaluate tennis and its object and rules. The paper signifies that tennis is a game full of opportunity for everybody. Tennis is a sport that could play on grass court like lawn tennis, on clay court or on hard court (Zetou, et.al. 2012). This paper has made a detailed discussion of tennis.

Tennis Rules

Tennis is played in open country, divided by a net and in the quadrangular sectors subdividing the two areas of kick (left and right) of the back of the court. Players can be two or four. In the first case is called single or also individually; in the second, two on two, the party is a double, or double (Newton, & Aslam, 2009). Or court tennis court may be grass, clay (clay), cement, asphalt and provided in rectangular form by all known (prior wood was also used as a surface) (Huang, Knottenbelt, & Bradley, 2011).
The balls used are rubber coated white flannel or chamois and about 0,063 m. and about 55 gr. weight. The ball is played with rackets whose normal adult weight is about 14 ounces English. The tennis rituals were always the agenda. To preserve rackets formerly were kept away from moisture and presses please rest periods, because they were made ​​of wood. Today, a good tennis bag can serve as protection (Lengyel, 2011). 

Game Elements

Try further individual game. Always stand before you start make sure that the network has a height in the centre of 91 inches. The right to remove or unload cargo in the first game and choose the side, which decides the fate, so if a player whom fortune favoured him, choose the first draw, the other tend the right to choose the side (Ford, n.d.). The object of the game is that the adversary cannot return the ball so that it will fall in the courtyard of punch, by the way he threw; each time this happens, the server wins a point. By contrast, wins the receiver, so called which returns the ball whenever it falls into your yard (Zetou, et.al. 2012).
When removed for the first time, the receiver must return the ball when it bounces first ground; however, successive strokes can be answered by both players before it bounces the ball, i.e., a volley (Conroy, & Roantree, 2010). If the player leaves the ball hit twice on the ground, his opponent wins a point. Upon completion of the "fifteen" first goals, the server serves from the left side, so the ball will fall diagonally on the opposite courtyard, also moving the receiver on the left. When you finish the first game, to 'becomes punch. At six games a game o set win (Smith, 2011).
This game requires great skill and agility and focuses all attention on its development. In the double game, pairs, playing in the same way each turn. If A and B play against C and D, first take A, then C; then B and finally D. It is a sport that is left to chance the least influence, and of great nobility, as can be seen by many details of the regulation and the fact mutually given thank the players after the game, and the judges (MOSOI, BARNA, & GUGU-GRAMMATOPOL, n.d.).

Tennis Clubs in UAE

The country already has a good standing in the international sports scene and hosts major international sporting events in a variety of sports, from horse racing to Formula 1, past the golf, tennis, marathons, triathlons, rugby, cricket, sailing, boating, martial arts and virtually any other sport imaginable competition (Girard, et.al. 2011). These events not only attract the UAE to a large number of competitors and fans around the world, but also involving some of the sportsmen and athletes of the country (Guttenbrunner, Becker, & Rauber, 2010). The sponsorship that make the United Arab Emirates club and prestigious international competitions such as the stadium of Arsenal Football Club, Manchester City Football Club, the Volvo Ocean Race, as well as numerous renowned horseracing Australia to the United States, promotes and publicizes the country in the world (SCHEFKE, & GRONEK, 2011).
Aside from the international circuit events, the UAE has a healthy own sports environment in which the local community participates through a wide range of sports activities. The seven emirates often compete with each other in multiple sports in national leagues and cups regulated by specialized federations (Ellis, 2011). Quality sports facilities (both indoor and outdoor) and a favourable climate enable the activity to continue during the winter. Traditional sports are also practiced as camel racing and regattas of traditional boats "dhow" (Sunde, 2009).
Sports and outdoor recreational activities are critical to the UAE stand out as a tourist destination as attractive. All hotels in the country already have excellent sports and leisure facilities, and in recent years have been building new infrastructure. Excellent golf courses and equestrian clubs world-class facilities are among the most successful among visitors, but are also popular pastimes most unusual, such as indoor skiing, ice skating and paragliding (Ramos, 2009).
The fact that the country's coasts match on the west by the Gulf and on the east by the Indian Ocean to the UAE becomes a particularly attractive destination for water sports enthusiasts. The emirates of the Gulf Coast are lucky enough to enjoy long stretches of sandy beach, where you can practice sports such as sailing, jet skiing, surfing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking or kite surfing. They also enjoy great popularity snorkelling and diving, as the East Coast of the UAE is rich in exotic fish and coral (Faraji Davar, et.al. 2011).
Residents and visitors can enjoy the many parks and playgrounds in the country where football games, basketball and cricket are one of the favourite pastimes. In addition, outside the big cities, desert and mountain areas provide a rugged and rough terrain ideal for those looking for more adventure, like the descent 4x4 basins of rivers, or wadi-bashing, climbing and rally buggy through the desert dunes or dune bugging. It would be hard to find a sport that is practiced in the UAE (Guttenbrunner, Becker, & Rauber, 2010).
