There are a few different SET styles used for different tournament?s. Once a player wins either 2 or 3 sets (depending on gender and tournament) they have won the MATCH.
A tennis player usually has several types of swinging shots at his disposal: the forehand, backhand, volley, overhand smash and slice shot. When a player serves the ball to the other player, at the beginning of each point, he most commonly employs the overhand smash method, or the cut (slice) serve.
The backhand, useful for chasing shots from the opposite strong hand, can be employed with either one hand or two hands. Two hands offer the player more power, while one hand can utilize a slice shot--applying backspin on the tennis ball to fool the opponent.
Tournaments are often organized by gender and number of players. Common tournament configurations include men's singles, ladies' singles, doubles (where two players of the same gender play on each side), and mixed doubles (with a member of each gender). There are also often tournaments for specific ages, such as for youth and seniors.
