Tennis ball sport with racket and net

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.

The WTA 125K series was the secondary professional tennis circuit organised by the Women's Tennis Association. The 2015 WTA 125K series calendar consists of six tournaments, each with a total prize fund of $125,000. After 2014, both the Suzhou, and Ningbo events folded, with Suzhou being replaced by a tournament in Dalian, and new events starting in Carlsbad and Hua Hin.
