The game of tennis had been around for centuries, and has been adapted and changed throughout history,the game originated from a French Game that involved passing a ball back and forth on a court using the palm of the hand. This French Game would eventually be adapted into the form of tennis that we are familiar with today.
Just like most sports, tennis was created almost by accident and there are some fascinating facts about the invention that are interesting to learn. By 1881, tennis had become so popular in Europe that is spread to the United States,the U.S decided to start its own national Tennis Association. The association would become more than just a group that united tennis playing in the states, but they made significant contributions to the game and how it is played. The Association Standardized Tennis Rules, and these rules would eventually become widely accepted in other countries that played.
In 1926 promoter C.C .Pyle created the first professional tennis tour with a group an American and French tennis player playing exhibition matches to paying audiences.
The most notable of these early professionals were the American Vinnie Richards and the frenchwoman Suzanne Lenglen. Once a player turned pro he or she could not compete in the major (amateur) tournaments.
The tennis is played by 2 players, the place where the people play tennis is a rectangular court divided by a low net. Tennis is played indoors and outdoors, on hard-surface, clay and grass courts
