Riddle

Two sides meet in an expanse of rope
The game is based on their ability to cope
As fast yellow bullets rocket past
Hit back by the players, really fast
At the start, both sides have love
And not the one represented by the dove
They know the game like the back of their hand
And finally the ball will land
The end of their game is here
One won, and one very near
The two players leave the court at ten
And tomorrow they will play again.
