When did tennis balls become yellow?
Tennis has been around for centuries, but it wasn't until the late 1800s that the standard, yellow tennis ball was introduced. Prior to this, tennis balls were made of a variety of materials, including cloth, cork and even feathers, and were available in a range of colors, including white, black and red. The yellow ball was developed in the late 1800s to make it easier for players to spot and track the ball, especially in outdoor conditions. Since then, yellow has become the standard color for tennis balls and is used in professional and amateur competitions around the world.
