Explanation

Tennis was introduced as an Olympic sport in the first modern Olympics in 1896 in Athens. John Boland of Ireland won the men's singles title. Tennis was dropped from the Olympics after 1924 and returned as a demonstration sport in 1968 and 1984 before becoming a permanent medal sport again in 1988. The 1896 introduction makes tennis one of the original Olympic sports.
