BADMINTON IN ONE LINE
Badminton is a racket sport played with a shuttlecock across a high net on a rectangular court. Players score points by striking the shuttlecock over the net so it lands within the opponent's boundary lines.
TABLE TENNIS IN ONE LINE
Table tennis is a fast-paced racket sport played on a hard table divided by a net. Opponents hit a lightweight ball back and forth using small paddles, aiming to force errors across the table.
