Did you know this Tennis fact? Some historians say that tennis began in Italy. The game became popular in France. When a player served, he/she would say, tenez. This French word comes from the verb tenir meaning to have, hold or take. Years later, when tennis occurred in Great Britain, the British altered its spelling and pronunciation.
