Tennis has a storied history as an Olympic event. 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.
Olympic Tennis Match Play
The rules and regulations set forth by the ITF govern match play in an Olympic tennis event. Competitors play each game to a total of four points, and a player or team must win by two points to win the game. The first player or team to win six games with at least a two-game advantage wins the set. All matches are played to the best of three sets, except for the men's singles and doubles finals, which are played to the best of five sets. According to the rules used by the Olympic Committee at the 2008 Beijing games, any play issue that arises and is not covered by ITF rules must be resolved in accordance with the Olympic Charter.
