The Chinese word 网球 (wǎngqiú) for "tennis" is a compound of two characters: 网 (wǎng) meaning "net" and 球 (qiú) meaning "ball". The term 网球 was coined in the late 19th century when tennis was introduced to China from Europe. The Chinese characters were chosen to represent the sport because they accurately describe the game's essential elements: a net and a ball. The term 网球 is now the standard Chinese word for tennis and is used in both mainland China and Taiwan.
