AB The  earliest  history  of  tennis  dates  back  to  the  11th  century  in  France.  It  was  termed  jeu  de  paume,  meaning  game  of  the  hand  after  French  monks  who  played  against  their  monastery  walls.1,2  By  the  late  19th  century,  tennis  became  more  popular  than  croquet  and  was  now  being  played  on  croquet  lawns.1,2  In  1913,  the  International  Lawn  Tennis  Federation  (ILTF)  was  formed  and  a  conference  was  held  among  12  nations.1,2  Tennis  became  an  Olympic  sport  when  it  was  first  held  in  1896  in  Athens.  It  was  then  dropped  from  the  Olympic  games  in  1924,  but  was  reestablished  as  an  Olympic  sport  in  1988  where  both  men  and  women  could  compete  in  singles  and  doubles  competition  as  candidates  for  medals.1,2
