In which year was tennis included in the Olympic games?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 1896.

Tennis made its Olympic debut in the 1896 Games held in Athens, Greece. Originally, the event featured only men's singles and doubles competitions. The sport's inclusion was part of the first modern Olympics, emphasizing a return to classical ideals and athletic competition. Although tennis was part of the Olympics in 1896, it faced challenges in subsequent years, leading to its temporary removal in 1924. It was reinstated in 1988 and has since been a staple of the Summer Games, featuring both men's and women's events.
