Extractions: Real tennis has been around for over 1000 years! There have been many theories of how it came into being; the most obvious that it developed within the cloisters of monasteries and thus we have the unusual shape of the court today. In 1875 Major Wingfield invented the breakaway game of Lawn Tennis. Not surprisingly this game took with it many of the rules and the scoring system of Real Tennis. Therefore both games are won by winning "points" (love, 15, 30, 40, deuce, advantage etc.), games and sets (first to 6 games wins the set). To the uninitiated it can be daunting when trying to follow a match for the first time. For instance, in Lawn Tennis whoever is serving is always first in the score ie. 40-15 means that the server is "40". However, in Real Tennis the person who won the last point is first in the call ie. if the receiver won the last point then 40-15 indicates that he is "40". The large viewing area behind the court is called the "dedans". If you are sitting there you will quickly notice that the ball is always served from the player closest to you, and never from the far end. To be a "fair" service the ball must travel along the side roof (called the "penthouse"), and fall within the red rectangle on the receiving side (it may be volleyed before it hits the ground). The ball may hit the green sidewall first, but it still must touch the penthouse, otherwise it is a "fault". As in Lawn Tennis, if you do a "double-fault" you have lost a point. If players hit the ball into the net, into the side-nets (called "galleries") on their own side or hit the ball above the green walls they have lost the point. However there are 3 targets on the court which, if hit, win the point for the striker. They are the dedans net (the large net you are viewing through), the "grille" (the yellow star on the receiving side) and the "winning gallery" (the end side net on the receiving side which has a bell in it)

http://www.tradgames.org.uk/games/Tennis.htm

Extractions: The origin of Tennis, like so many Sports and Games is something of a mystery with various theories having been espoused. One version would have us believe that Stone Age man once hit rocks backwards and forwards with clubs, perhaps. A more substantial beginning is that Tennis derived from Handball, a version of which was played in the ancient world including the civilisations of Rome, Greece and Egypt. There is an Egyptian town on the Nile called Tinnis (in Arabic) and some speculate that this is the origin of the name 'Tennis'. Another string to this theory's bow is that the term 'racquet' is thought to derive from the Arabic word 'rahat' which means 'the palm of the hand' By the 14th century, Tennis had found its way to England where both Henry VII and Henry VIII apparently became keen players and instigated the building of courts up and down the country. Apparently Henry VIII invented the 'service' - his servants used to throw the ball up in the air for him because he was too fat to do it himself. The Tennis racket by 1500 was no longer completely made of wood but consisted of a wooden handle with a sheep gut strung head. The Royal enthusiasm for the game continued both in France during the sixteenth century where there were apparently more than 1000 courts in Paris alone at that time and in England during the Tudor seventeenth century. Notable English royal players include George IV (1763-1830), Prince Albert (1819-1861) who owned a locker in the changing room at Hampton Court Palace which still bears his name, Edward VII (1842-1910) and George V (1866-1936). For unknown reasons, the game's popularity waned in France and England during the 17th century and in France it was virtually non-existent by 1800.

Extractions: Topspin on a tennis ball is usually called the powerspin. When a tennis player hits the ball with topspin the from of the ball will rotate downward. The rotation of the ball creates friction as it travels through air. While rotating through the air the ball will suddenly dip across the net. The higher the arc the ball has when crossing the net means that there is a faster rotation and there is more topspin Backspin on a tennis ball is done by abruptly hitting the ball. The ball is going to be moving up and will remain high.

http://www.bet-online-tennis-us-open-gambling-odds.com/history.htm

Extractions: THE EARLY HISTORY OF REAL TENNIS There are, of course, many other theories on the history of tennis. Roger Morgan's book ' Tennis, The development of the European ball game ' is another source of information and conflicts with the above theories. The forward, written by H.R.H. Prince Edward, himself a keen Real Tennis player, says "Many myths and inaccuracies are dispelled; chief among these that tennis owes its origins to the monasteries of France" . Morgan also says that the origins were from a ball game played in the streets during the Middle Ages, which is a nice idea, but as the streets were also used as sewers, I don't think it would have been much fun, so I shall stick to the more romantic 'monasteries' theory for the time being. Perhaps in the future I shall devote some space to the various other conflicting theories. Fortunately, I have just received a copy of "THE TRUE ORIGINS OF ROYAL TENNIS" from a correspondent in Australia. I would urge you to read this in order to reach a decision on the subject. AUG DE JONG also has a very interesting account of The History of tennis in the Netherlands, which is certainly worth reading.
