Tennis is a sport played between either two players ("singles") or two teams of two players ("doubles"). Player(s)
use a stringed racquet to strike a hollow rubber ball covered in felt over a net into the opponent's court.
Originating in England in the late 19th Century, the game spread first throughout the English-speaking world,
particularly among the upper classes.
In 1900, U.S. National Men's Doubles Championship was held for the first time. Tournaments were held in the east
and the west of the country in order to determine the best two teams (sectional winners). These would then compete
in a play-off - the winner would play the defending champions in the challenge round.
Six years after the men's nationals were held, the first official U.S. Women's National Singles Championship was
held at the Philadelphia Cricket Club in 1887, followed by the U.S. Women's National Doubles Championship in 1889.
The first U.S. Mixed Doubles Championship was held alongside the Women's Singles and Doubles.
Tennis is now an Olympic sport that is played at all levels of society and by all ages in many countries around
the world. Its rules have remained remarkably unchanged since the 1920s. Along with its millions of players,
millions of people follow tennis as a spectator sport, especially the four Grand Slam tournaments.
