This website gave information about tennis being played in Ancient Egypt. It also said that it used to be played with the palm of the hand, or the "rahat". It also said that the tennis ball was believed to have looked like a baseball. This website contained a lot of information I had never heard before.

This was a good website because it tells how tennis first evolved. It also said that the game known as it is today is only about 130 years old. It used to be known as "lawn tennis".
