What equipment is used in tennis—a paddle or a racquet?

In tennis, players use a racquet, not a paddle. The correct equipment is called a tennis racquet. Tennis is played with:

• A racquet
• A tennis ball
• A net
• A court

Paddles are used in different sports, such as:

• Table Tennis (uses a paddle or bat)
• Pickleball (uses a solid paddle)
• Padel (uses a padel racket/paddle-style racquet)

But in regular tennis—like at Wimbledon—players always use a racquet. 🎾
