Answer:

Friction of the strings of a racquet on a tennis ball is what allows spin to be imparted on the ball during a hit. Furthermore, friction between the ball and the court affects the way that the ball bounces. Kinetic friction is perpendicular to the normal force and opposite in direction to the velocity vector.
