Tenis / Juegos Olímpicos
Tennis was part of the Games from 1896 to 1924, but professionals were not allowed to compete. This caused disputes between the IOC and the ITF and the sport was eventually dropped from the olympic program until 1988, when it was reinstated, this time with the top players. Mixed doubles event was added in 2012. The playing surface since 1988 has been hard court, except in 1992 (clay) and 2012 (grass).
El tenis formó parte de los Juegos desde 1896 hasta 1924, pero los profesionales no eran admitidos. Las discrepancias sobre este asunto entre la Federación Internacional y el Comité Olímpico llevó a su cancelación del programa hasta 1988 donde, esta vez sí, ya estaban en liza los mejores jugadores del mundo. En 2012 se añadió el dobles mixto. Desde 1988 siempre se ha jugado en pista dura, excepto en 1992 (tierra batida) y 2012 (hierba).
