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, nets, and posts currently used in tennis today. He called it lawn tennis and packaged the various elements with an instruction book. Before this, tennis had been an indoor sport that the gentry could only enjoy during Christmastide. An example of the original game can be seen in the Showtime Series “The Tudors,” Season one, Episode 1.
Wingfield took the game outdoors and made it something that anyone could play on any large grassy area. Today celebrates that patent and the game.
