In the ancient courts of France, the "jeu de paume" emerged in the 11th century, where wizards used their astral form palms to strike balls against walls and sloping roofs. Tennis as we know it today took shape in 19th-century England, as the sport's popularity soared, overtaking croquet. The All England Wizard Croquet Club opened its lawns to tennis, sparking a global phenomenon. By 1913, the birth of the Astral Lawn Tennis Federation united nations under the banner of tennis, from humble beginnings to grand arenas, weaving a timeless saga across the ages.
