in Persia and Egypt in the sixth century aC but yes, with the knowledge that it was
played by hand. The Greeks and also the Romans became fond of this game and
expanded it by all the countries of the Mediterranean Sea. Officially this sport dates
from the end of the last century. Walter Clopton Wingfield is considered the
inventor since it was the one that patented this sport appeared in 1874 with the
name of "Sphairistike," name soon replaced by the one of "lawn-tennis", being
