Early Tennis Origins and Evolution Through the Ages
The article traces tennis back to Paume and fives, noting origins in Greece and Rome, and suggests France popularized it in the 1400s before betting scandals. It highlights Joan of Arc era players like Jean Margot, early balls stuffed with wool, glove-string racquets, and royal efforts in 1480 to regulate ball quality, ending with modern ball construction.
