1. Backboard

   A tennis backboard is a simple wall usually made from some kind of fiberboard and located at a tennis court attached to a fence. It should have a tennis net either drawn or painted at the proper height. It is designed to allow a single person to practice by hitting a tennis ball against the wall so the ball is returned, much like a second player would return it.
