Tennis History
The very first lawn tennis tournament took place in 1874 in the USA - which was the start of tennis as we know it today. Before then, 'Real Tennis' was played indoors on wooden courts during the 16th century.
Tennis has changed as a sport over the years with the introduction of different surfaces, bringing an added dimension to the sport. Tennis is now played on grass, clay, and hard court, with different players more adept at playing on some surfaces than others. For example, Roger Federer is seen as the 'King of Grass', while Rafael Nadal excels on clay. Serena Williams is just brilliant everywhere.
