Right, let's start with the orign of tennis. The History of tennis game was developed from a 12th century French handball game called "Paume" (palm). In this game the ball was struck with the hand.
After some time "Paume" game produced handball "Jeu de Paume" (game of the palm) and
there were ud racquets. The game was first created by European monks for entertainment roles during ceremonial occasions and spread and evolved in Europe. It became very popular, especially in France, where was adopted by the royal family.

Between the 16th and 18th centuries the game of the palm was highly regarded by kings and nobleman. The French players would begin the palm game by shouting the word "Tenez" (Play!). The palm game soon came to be called "real tennis" or "royal".
During 1530s, English king Henry VIII builds a tennis court at Hampton Court Palace (This court no longer exist but a similar court built there in 1625 and is in u until today).

can be played outdoors on a lawn, and where today's tennis developed. Wingfield deals Sphairistike in boxes that feature two net posts, a net, rackets, and India rubber balls. Wingfield’s boxes kick start the modern form of tennis, though the one thing that doesn’t work is the name, and Wingfield soon realizes that his subtitle "lawn tennis" is much better than greek word 'Sphairistike'.
In 1874, Joph and Clarence Clark (brothers), take one of Walter Wingfield’s boxes to America, leading to the first lawn tennis tournament in the USA later that year.

In 1967, the first metal tennis racquet appears thanks to Wilson. Wimbledon holds a demonstration tournament for professionals, and declares that its 1968 championships will be open to all participants, amateurs and professionals. It's the sign for tennis to go 'open'. And in 1968, the first official 'open' tournament takes place at Bournemouth on the English south coast, and the first Grand Slam, the newly named French Open, leads in a new era. Ken Rowall, a returning professional won both events.
