Визначення та Значення "platform tennis"

What is "platform tennis"?

Platform tennis is a racquet sport played on a smaller, elevated court surrounded by screens. It is similar to tennis but with some key differences. The game uses a solid paddle and a rubber ball that is less bouncy than a regular tennis ball. Platform tennis is usually played in doubles, and the objective is to score points by hitting the ball over the net and into the opponent's side of the court. Players can use the screens around the court to bounce the ball, adding a unique element to the game. It is often played outdoors in colder weather, as the court surface is designed to withstand snow and ice.
