Tennis
Tennis is a racket and ball sport in which two individual players (singles) or two pairs (doubles) compete against each other. It originated in Europe towards the end of the 19th century and spread initially among English-speaking countries, especially among the upper classes. Nowadays, tennis has become a universal sport played in many countries around the world. With the arrival of tourism in Lanzarote the amount of tennis played on the island has continued to increase over time. There is a wide range of tennis-coaching options for all ages, as well as a multitude of good-quality courts scattered all over the island.
