A. Lawn tennis has been known in Europe for more than 700 years. The game was initially played with hands, so it used to be called "the game of the palm". At first, a cork ball upholstered in leather was used to play tennis. Such a ball bounced badly off the ground, so the game could only be played in special rooms with a stone floor. These rooms were called ball houses. Later, dancing parties began to be held in such rooms which might be the reason why such dances came to be called balls.

B. The first tennis club was founded in 1872 in Leamington by Major Harry Gem and his associates. Nevertheless, the official title of the founder of the modern game of tennis belongs to Major Walter Wingfield. In 1873, Wingfield published the first set of tennis rules and later introduced the name "lawn tennis". In 1874, he patented the game. According to Wingfield's rules, the tennis court had an hourglass shape. Wingfield was the first to sell tennis kits that consisted of some balls, some rackets and a net.

C. Being a relatively new sport, tennis had to develop within the organisations engaged in an older sport—croquet. In 1875, the Marylebone Croquet Club established standardised rules for the game of tennis. These rules, although slightly modified, are still used today. The game was becoming so popular that The All England Croquet Club had to change its name to The All England Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club and in 1877 decided to hold a tennis championship.

D. Tennis is sometimes referred to as "a white sport" since it was traditionally played in white clothes. Probably, this tradition came from English gentlemen who played cricket.

E. In lawn tennis, points are not given in the usual counting order. Instead, tennis scores are 0, 15, 30, 40. After 40 they say "game".

G. Wimbledon Championships is probably the most famous tennis tournament played annually in London at Wimbledon. The word Wimbledon itself is a symbol of tennis and the embodiment of its primordial spirit. It is the only tournament still played on natural grass. The player dress code at the Wimbledon Championship is strict. Competitors must dress in white tennis attire. Wimbledon clothing rules do not allow any colouring. It is highly recommended for medical supports and equipment to be white, too.
