All Net Racket Sports

Racket sports played across a net, in which players hit a ball or shuttle back and forth over the net and score when the opponent cannot return it. Tennis, badminton, table tennis, padel and pickleball are the main forms, each with its own court, racket or paddle, and scoring system. Every sport filed in this group belongs to the Racket Sports category and has its own entry in the Sport and Games Atlas, from which a reader can follow links on to its leading athletes, its competitions and the governing bodies that set its rules.
