Tennis is a sport that is played between two or two teams of two players each. The players use a racket for striking a hollow rubber ball over a net into the opponent's court.

The history of this sports has two separate origins. Major Harry Gem and Augurio Perera developed a game that used rackets similar to Badminton. Badminton was brought to Britain by the British soldiers who had served in India. This happened between 1859 and 1865. The world's first tennis club was found by t hem in Leamington Spa.

On the other hand. In 1873 Major Walter Clopton Wingfield designed a similar game that was called Sphairistike. He did this solely for the purpose of amusing his guests at his state in Wales.
