Tennis was played in the first modern Olympic Games at Athens 1896 and was a mainstay until Paris 1924. After a couple of demonstration/exhibition events, it returned as a full medal sport at Seoul 1988 and has since gone from strength to strength, becoming one of the most coveted prizes in tennis.
The full Olympic Tennis Event medal table, broken down into countries, is listed below (not including demonstration/exhibition events in 1906, 1968 and 1984). To view individual medal winners from past Olympics, click the links on the right.
