DESCRIPTION:

On February 23, 1874, Walter Wingfield (October 16, 1833 – April 18, 1912), of England patented a “New and Improved Court for Playing the Ancient Game of Tennis”. These are the same balls, rackets, net and posts currently used in the game of Tennis today. He called it lawn tennis and packaged the various elements together along with an instruction book. Prior to this, Tennis had been an indoor sport, one that could only be enjoyed by the gentry. An example of the original game can be seen in the Showtime Series “The Tudors”, Season one, Episode 1, minutes 8 & 9.

Wingfield took the game outdoors, and made it something that could be played on any large grassy area, by anyone. Today celebrates that patent and the game.
