History of Tennis
Tennis was born in the 11th century when a game called ‘jeu de paume’ became popular in French monasteries and palaces.
The sport developed in England, where croquet lawns were used to stage the first official Lawn Tennis matches.
At Athens 1896, the first Olympic Tennis tournament was won by an Irish student, John Boland. He went to the Games just to watch, but returned an Olympic champion.
Compare that to today, when competitors are among the biggest names in world sport, used to playing for millions on the international circuit.
Tennis at the Games
Arguments over the ‘amateur’ status of players saw it dropped from the programme in 1922, but it eventually returned at Seoul 1988.
Some of the world’s most famous players have since become Olympic champions, including the USA‘s Andre Agassi and his wife, Germany’s Steffi Graf.
Venue: Wimbledon
Dates: Saturday 28 July – Sunday 5 August
Events: Men's and women’s Singles and Doubles; Mixed Doubles
Gold medals up for grabs: 5
Athletes: 172
