Tennis

Tennis

Tennis originated in France during the late 12th century as a game called “jeu de paume,” where players used their hands to hit a ball. By the 16th century, rackets were introduced, and the game evolved into something closer to modern tennis. The version we know today, called lawn tennis, was developed in England in the late 19th century. Major tournaments like Wimbledon began in this era, helping to popularize the sport worldwide.
