HISTORY
Between 1859 and 1865, in Birmingham,
England, Major Harry Gem, a lawyer, and
his friend Augurio Perera, a Spanish
merchant, combined elements of the
game of rackets and the Spanish ball
game Pelota and played it on a croquet
lawn in Edgbaston.
In 1872, both men moved to Leamington
Spa and in 1874, with two doctors from
the Warneford Hospital, founded the
world's first tennis club. The Courier of
23 July 1884 recorded one of the first
tennis tournaments, held in the grounds
of Shrubland Hall.

Tennis balls are of hollow rubber with
a felt coating. Traditionally white, the
predominant color was gradually
changed to Optic Yellow in the latter
part of the twentieth century to allow
for improved visibility.
