Badminton and tennis are both great and enjoyable sports that have been played by a wide range of people from all over the world. But these two types of racquet sports are frequently and easily mistaken by amateurs because of how similar both look. It’s true that they share some similarities to each other, but they also have many differences that distinguish themselves from each other.

There are some similarities between these two sports. First, both are played by two players (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). They can be played by both men and women.

So they’re much more expensive than badminton rackets. The set of rules for each game and the point system are the major difference. In the badminton game, the point is from 1 to 21. If the server wins a strike, he wins a point. If he loses, the service is passed to his opponent.

After the deuce, the next point scored is called ‘’advantage’’. If he wins the next point after it, he wins the game. But if his opponent wins the next point, the score returns to ‘’deuce’’ and the game continues on until someone wins the game.
