根據(jù)下面內(nèi)容，回答題：

　　Lawn tennis is a good sport, being based on the ancient game of court tennis, which probablycame up in Egypt or Persia some 2,500 years ago. Major Walter Wingfield thought that somethinglike court tennis could be played outdoors on lawns, and in December 1873, he introduced his newgame, which he called Sphairistike, at a lawn party in Wales. The sport became popular very rapidly,but the strange, difficult name disappeared almost at once, being replaced by the very simple and log-ical term "lawn tennis".

　　By 1874 the game was being played by British soldiers in Bermuda,and in the early months ofthat year a young lady named Mary Outerbridge returned from Bermuda to New York, bringing with herthe equipment necessary to play the new game. With the help of one of her brothers, she laid out acourt on the grounds of the Staten Island Cricket and Baseball Club,and there,in the spring of 1874,Miss Outerbridge and some of her friends played the first game of lawn tennis in the United States.

　　And just two years later,in 1876,the first United States lawn tennis tournament競(jìng)標(biāo)賽was held--at Nahant near Boston.
