Tennis is an Olympic sport and is played at all levels of society at all ages. The sport can be played by anyone who can hold a racket, including people in wheelchairs.
Tennis made its debut at the inaugural modern Olympic Games in 1896 until the Games of the VIII Olympiad, Paris 1924. Women first played Olympic tennis in 1900. Tennis withdrew from the Olympic program after 1924 to a difference of opinion between the IOC and the International Tennis Federation. Tennis made its Olympic return as a demonstration sport in 1968 and 1984 and has featured on the Olympic program since the Games of the XXIV Olympiad, Seoul 1988. Today, Olympic competition includes men’s and women’s singles and doubles.
Competition Procedure
As with most tournaments, Olympic tennis is a knockout competition. All matches are played best of three sets except the men’s singles and doubles finals, which are best of five. In all four divisions, the semi-final winners play to decide the gold and silver medals, and the semi-final losers play for the bronze.
