The Origin Of The Rules Of Tennis

Rules and regulations for Tennis were first adopted on 1 January 1924. The drafting of rules and regulations for tennis lies with the International Tennis Federation and it was accompanied by a rules of tennis committee, which periodically monitors rules and make necessary recommendations for any modification, if the occasion calls for it. Suggested changes in rules can be on a permanent basis or for a limited trial period of time. The board of directors take recommendations and submit it on to the general meeting of the International Tennis Federation for its perusal. The rules are applied only after the members of the general meeting meet at a point consensus.
