The History of Tennis __ "Ball games can be traced back to ancient times and the earliest representations can be found in carvings in Egyptian temples dating from 1500BC. The Ancient Egyptians and the people that followed actually played ball games as part of their religious ceremonies. These traditions and the whole concept of the ball game spread into Europe in the 8th century, the influence spread by the Moors whose Empire reached into Southern France. As strange as it may seem, it was the meeting of this eastern culture with Christianity which eventually gave rise to tennis!"

Lawn and Real Tennis - Online Guide __ A brief look at the history of the game. "The origin of Tennis, like so many Sports and Games is something of a mystery with various theories having been espoused.

A more substantial beginning is that Tennis derived from Handball, a version of which was played in the ancient world including the civilisations of Rome, Greece and Egypt." - From tradgames.org.uk - http://www.tradgames.org.uk/games/Tennis.htm
