When people mention tennis, they often call it the sport of the kings. There is a history behind it, of course. Tennis is considered an elegant activity, at least in most cases, and it is one of the most popular and refined ball games. As you probably know, tennis is also part of the Olympic Games. The game has French origins, and studies have revealed that people already played it in the 15th century. An English prince living in captivity for twenty years played it daily, and we can thank him for making a new long-term fashion. However, its present form’s origins date back to around 1968. Especially in the Victorian era, only the wealthy, the aristocrats, or both could play. There is no doubt that the players' social status played a large part in why the audience has to keep quiet.
