Tennisy

Tennisy: adjective. To be similar to tennis. The word can be used in sentences such as the following, found in Encyclopaedia Athletica: "Sports using racquets, such as squash, badminton and racquetball are all remarkably tennisy. Other sports in which objects are used to hit balls, such as cricket, croquet and billiards, are somewhat less tennisy but still more tennisy than sports in which balls are handled without objects to hit them with (football, basketball and rugby). The least tennisy sports are the ones in which balls are not used at all, such as judo, darts or chess and even less tennisy than these sports is everything other than sport. But for those who do not like sport, there is sport."
