THE FIRST TENNIS PROS & TENNIS COURTS WERE IN EUROPE ANYONE KNOW WHO OR WHERE??

First of all, being a pro doesn't mean you can beat Nadal on clay. You need to be a pro of the caliber of Roger Federer, or even Murray or Djokovic. Then maybe you have a chance. Secondly, I don't think it's possible to beat Nadal on clay when his game is on - regardless of how good you are. You need to find a way to frustrate him. 1) Perhaps try blocking and slicing a lot of balls back to make him go for difficult shots. These days Nadal plays a lot more aggressively on clay than 4 years ago. 2) Come to the net every now and then. You have no chance of beating Nadal from the baseline. Yes you will get passed, but you have to condition yourself to forget that. 3) Hope that he isn't fully fit or tired.

The game of Tennis started in France around the late 1400's. It was orginally called Jeu de paume which translates to Game of the Palm or Game of the hand.

The game was originally played outdoors on grass (hence the color green of the courts).

THE COURT JESTERS & HARLEQUINS STARTED THE GAME IN THE LATE MIDDLE AGES>>'JEU DE PAUME' CAME LATER & FEW IF ANY OF THE OBESE ROYALTY PLAYED

One of France's Louis' was a player. Versaille, maybe. Indoors.
