Before the grunts, the glam, and the grand slams — tennis was a quiet game played by French monks slapping a ball with their palms. Yep, purpose has humble beginnings… even in sport.

In this episode of Purpose, we trace the surprising, classy, and sometimes hilariously petty history of tennis — from monastery courtyards to the world’s most prestigious lawn: Wimbledon.

We unpack how a game once played in silence became a global spectacle of poise, power, and perfectly pressed whites.

It’s tradition with tension. Drama with discipline.

And at the heart of it all? Purpose — served one match at a time.

So whether you’re swinging at dreams or dodging life’s double faults, this one’s for anyone who knows the grass is always greener… where you serve it.
