Tennis ball

Tennis balls at the 2012 French Open

A tennis ball is a small, hollow ball used in games of tennis and real tennis.[1] Tennis balls are fluorescent yellow in professional competitions,[2][3] but in recreational play other colors are also used. Tennis balls are covered in a fibrous felt, which modifies their aerodynamic properties, and each has a white curvilinear oval covering it.
