The origins of the game can be traced to a 12th–13th-century French handball game called jeu de paume (“game of the palm”), from which was derived a complex indoor racket-and-ball game: real tennis. It is now played on a variety of surfaces. Tennis originally was known as lawn tennis, and formally still is in Britain, because it was played on grass courts by Victorian gentlemen and ladies. (Read Britannica’s interview with Naomi Osaka.) Organized tennis is played according to rules sanctioned by the International Tennis Federation (ITF), the world governing body of the sport. Points are awarded to a player or team whenever the opponent fails to correctly return the ball within the prescribed dimensions of the court. Tennis, original name lawn tennis, game in which two opposing players (singles) or pairs of players (doubles) use tautly strung rackets to hit a ball of specified size, weight, and bounce over a net on a rectangular court.
