Tennis is a sport usually played on a rectangular leveled plane Tennis court. In tennis each player uses a racket that is strung to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over a net into the opponent's court with the aim of scoring that an opponent cannot successfully return it. 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. International Tennis Federation (ITF) is the governing body of tennis in the world.
Tennis made its debut at the inaugural modern Olympic Games in 1896 until the Games of the VIII Olympiad, Paris 1924. Tennis withdrew from the Olympic program after 1924 to a difference of opinion between the IOC and the International Tennis Federation. The International Tennis Federation, or ITF, campaigned furiously to have the sport returned to the games. Tennis made its Olympic return as a demonstration sport in 1968. In 1984, tennis was given a spot as a demonstration sport for youths 21 and under. Four years later, the International Olympic Committee reinstated tennis as a full medal sport at the Seoul, South Korea, and Olympic Games. Today, Olympic competition includes men’s and women’s singles and doubles.
