Tennis

15-30-40-LOVE!!!
Not all sports are started here in th United States! One theory is that the term “tennis” derives from the French “tenez”, meaning to hold or to take heed, i.e. from server to receiver.   “Tenez” may have been a common call for jeu de paume players to initiate play in France and somehow retained association to the English versions of the game.  Additionally, in times preceding jeu de paume where early ball games have been documented there was an Egyptian city named 'Tinnis'.
