Tennis is a human game native to the planet Earth. It was created in Tuscany, France in the 1500s and later developed by the United Kingdom in the 1800s. The game comprises of either two people going head to head or four people in a pairs match.
The game is played on a court, where the players have to serve and return the ball to each other using rackets. When a player lets the ball go out of play or hit the net the opposite player scores.
The Bajoran criminal Ibudan was an avid tennis player, having scheduled practices in the holodeck between stardate 46383-46385. (DS9: "A Man Alone")
- This fact was established from the events found on Ibudan's personal calender that Odo was reviewing.
