Question

GinnyAnswer · Answer

In the early 1900s, golf and tennis saw increasing popularity among the middle class, but tennis did not immediately become accessible to all economic classes. While golf courses and tennis courts were becoming more prevalent, racial discrimination still affected participation in both sports. Therefore, the statement regarding tennis being played by all economic classes is misleading in the context of its historical evolution. ;
