The 2006 Hypo Group Tennis International was a men's tennis tournament that was part of the 2006 ATP Tour. The event was won by Nikolay Davydenko in men's singles and Paul Hanley and Jim Thomas in men's doubles.
Tennis is a racket sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a tennis racket that is strung with cord to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over or around a net and into the opponent's court. The object of the game is to maneuver the ball in such a way that the opponent is not able to play a valid return. The player who is unable to return the ball will not gain a point, while the opposite player will.
