Since the Middle Ages, tennis has captured the imagination of gentlemen & ladies alike, thriving among nobility. The sport was not merely a pastime, but a symbol of status & refinement, with courts often found within the grand estates of aristocrats. In fact, King Charles IX created the first pro tennis “tour” in 1571 to showcase the skills of the finest players of the era across his kingdom.
