What is the difference between racquetball and tennis?
Racquetball and tennis are both racket sports played on a court, but there are key differences between the two. In racquetball, the court is enclosed and the ball can bounce off any wall, while in tennis the court is open and the ball must stay within the lines. Additionally, racquetball uses a smaller, harder ball and players can hit the ball after one bounce, whereas in tennis players must hit the ball before it bounces. The scoring system and rules also differ between the two sports.

In racquetball, the player who begins with the serve must first bounce the ball off the floor before hitting the front wall. The ball may not touch the back wall and can only touch one of the side walls before the other player returns the serve. If the ball does bounce in these restricted areas, it is considered to be a fault. The players continue to return passes to each other by first hitting the ball to the front wall before allowing the ball to hit the floor. Unlike in the initial serve, the ball may hit any of the walls once the serve is successfully in play.
