No, it wasn't. Tennis started at the Olympics in 1869, when the first modern Olympic games in Athens took place. It was then dropped in 1924 due to the fact that the administrators could not agree on the issue of defining what an amateur was, an what a professional was. Back in those days, amateurs we're not allowed to compete in the Olympics, no matter how good they we're.
