Tennis

The origins of tennis dates back to a very long time ago. In fact, it is believed that the ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians played very early versions of the game. However, the first written record of tennis dates back to 1000 when French monks started playing a game they called 'jeu de paume' or the game of hand. From then on it became more and more popular involving King Louis IV trying to ban the game altogether.

From then on there had been courts, rackets, balls and tornaments making tennis one of the most expensive well paid game.
