A tennis racquet is a sports equipment used in the game of tennis. It consists of a frame with a tightly strung net or string bed stretched across it. The frame is usually made of lightweight materials such as graphite, carbon fiber, aluminum, or titanium, and the strings are made of synthetic or natural materials such as nylon, gut, or polyester. Tennis racquets come in different sizes, shapes, and weights to suit players of different ages, skill levels, and playing styles. They can be categorized into three main types: power racquets, control racquets, and tweener racquets. The market growth is fueled by a rise in the adoption of tennis as a recreational sport in the young and middle-aged population.
