Tennis court where tennis was first seen was in Bermuda,

Mary Ewing Outerbridge allegedly introduced the sport to the United States after seeing tennis being played in Bermuda and demonstrated it to people on Staten Island in 1874.
Mary Ewing Outerbridge sailed back to the U.S. and in March 1874 set up the country's first tennis court, on the grounds of the Staten Island Cricket & Baseball Club. Curiously, it was shaped like an hourglass and the first game was played between Mary and her sister Lauren.
