Table tennis and tennis share some similarities in their basic concepts, such as hitting a ball over a net to score points, but differ significantly in rules and scoring. Table tennis is played on a small table with paddles, using a lightweight ball that bounces off the table. Matches are typically played to 11 points, with players serving twice each before switching. Tennis, played on a larger court with rackets, uses a heavier ball and has a more complex scoring system, including games, sets, and matches. The serve in tennis must land within a specific service box, and rallies are often longer due to the larger playing area.
