How and where did tennis start?

Tennis has become one of the world's richest sports, with the big tournaments attracting huge television coverage and sponsorship . But it is also very easy to play (I do play it myself). All you need is a tennis racket and a ball. Thousand play it every week in leisure centers and at courts across the country.Tennis was first played in France about 900 years ago, with people using the palms of their hand. No one really knows how the scoring started, but "deuce" is based on the French Word "deux", meaning two, when two people are on the same point.
