Since the COVID-19 pandemic, tennis has gained popularity as millions turned to local courts for socially distanced activities. Approximately 1 in 12 Americans played tennis as of 2024, the highest recorded participation. The buzz includes the 2024 film Challengers and the growing trend of 'tenniscore' fashion. Wimbledon continues to showcase traditional elements while incorporating technological advancements. The sport's historical roots trace back to France in the 12th century, with the name deriving from a serving call, 'tenez.' Modern adaptations aim to enhance the game's appeal for both players and spectators.
"According to the latest research shared by the United States Tennis Association, 1 in 12 Americans played tennis as of 2024, the highest share on record."
"Even if you haven't picked up a racket, maybe you've seen or heard the buzz about the 2024 tennis film Challengers, or noticed an upswing in preppy 'tenniscore' apparel on store shelves and social media."
"Wimbledon's pristine grass courts, all-white competitor dress code, royal patronage and customary strawberries-and-cream snack may look much the same as they did when the tournament began back in 1877, a lot about tennis has changed along the way."
"'Making sure that the modern-day game is as rich as its history and even more exciting and compelling, I think the better it is for spectators, the better it is for pros - everyone wins.'"
