Tennis at the Paris 2024 Olympics
A Look at Tennis History in the Games
From the Beginning to 1924
Tennis's history with the Summer Olympics stretches back to its inclusion at the inaugural Olympic Games in 1896. The sport was a part of the competitions until the 1924 Games due to disputes between the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) over eligibility rules and the amateur status of players.
Reintroduction in 1988
After a 64-year absence, tennis was reintroduced to the Olympic program at the 1988 Seoul Games. Since then, the sport has been a regular fixture at the Olympics, with both men's and women's singles and doubles events, as well as a mixed doubles event.
