Summary: Since ancient times, people have been playing tennis as recreation and sport. The term “lawn tennis” was coined in 1874 by Major Walter Clopton Wingfield and the game was devised from royal tennis which was played in 12th century France. The game has many rules and has been played different ways over the centuries. Tennis games consist of one to five sets, the winner has to meet a certain requirement (ex. one set or three out of five). Most matches consist of three sets, the winner being the player who wins two out of three sets. To win a set, the player has to win the majority of games within the set, ending with six. Each game is made up of points. The winner of the game has to win at least four points and has to have at least two points difference between their score and the other player’s score.
