History
History of Lawn Tennis
The background of lawn tennis is entangled with 14th century Royal Courts, The Battle of Agincourt, Jailers, Cricket and Croquet Clubs! The original game (Real Tennis) was played on a complicated court and lawn tennis as we know it developed from an attempt to popularise the game for the masses, with the production in 1858 of kits for making a cheap court. The game was called " Sphairistike", Greek for a ball game. Warwickshire was the hub of this movement. The first tennis club formed in 1827, at Leamington. The Marylebone Cricket Club developed the rules for the competitive sport. While lawn tennis was first played in Britain, the first national ruling body was the U.S. National Lawn Tennis Associa |
