Tennis Championships
According to most tennis historians, modern tennis terminology also derives from this period, as Wingfield borrowed both the name and much of the French vocabulary of royal tennis and applied them to his new game, for example, Tennis comes from the French tenez, the imperative form of the verb tenir, to hold.
Tennis was for many years predominantly a sport of the English-speaking world, dominated by the United States , Britain and Australia . It was also popular in France , where the French Open dates to 1891. Thus Wimbledon , the U.S. Open, the French Open and the Australian Open (dating to 1905) became and have remained the most prestigious events in tennis. Together these four events are called the Grand Slam (a term borrowed from bridge). Winning the Grand Slam, by capturing these four titles in one calendar year, is the highest ambition of most tennis players- both in the men and women tennis circuit. The championships are enough to set pulse beats racing and adrenalin soaring higher.
