II. Objectives of the Lawn Tennis

The game of Lawn Tennis consists of two or four players (singles or doubles). The aim of
Lawn Tennis is to hit the Tennis Ball with your racket so that is passes over the new and lands
inside your opponent’s half of the court. Play begins from the right half court. Players must hit the
Tennis Ball into the diagonal opposite court.
To play the ball in such a way that the opponent is not able to play a good return.
The opponent who is unable to return the ball will not gain a point, while the opposite
opponent will.
 History of Lawn Tennis
An Englishman, Major Walter C. Wingfield invented Lawn tennis (1873) & first
played it at garden party in wales, Sports historians all agree that Wingfield deserved much of the
credit for the development of modern Tennis.
The modern game of tennis originated in late 19 th century England, most historians believed
that the games ancient origin is from 12 th century France, but the ball was then struck with the
palm of hand. It was not until the 16 th century that rackets came into use, and the game began to
be called “Tennis”.
Between 1859 and 1865 Harry Gem and his
friend Augurio Perera developed a game that
combined elements of rackets and the Basque ball
game pelota, which they played on Perera’s
croquet lawn in Birmingham United Kingdom.
On May 21, 1881, the United States National
Lawn Tennis Association was formed to
standardize the rules and organize competitions.
The U.S National Men’s Singles Championship,
now the U.S open was first held in 1881 at new
port, Rhode Island. The U.S National Women’s
Singles Championships were first held in 1887.

16th Century of Tennis

Between the 16th and 18th centuries the game of the palm was highly regarded by
kings and noblemen. 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".

lawns by rich English people. This is really
where today's tennis developed. Wingfield
deals Sphairistike in boxes that feature two
net posts, a net, rackets, and India rubber
balls, plus instructions about laying out the court and actually playing the game. 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".
