The Tennis Court Oath has nothing to do with tennis, except that it was taken at a court. In Versailles, in 1789, members of the third estate met at an indoor tennis court, disobeying Louis XVI’s order to disband. They took an oath to not disband until a new French constitution had been adopted.

The Third Estate had a large number of representatives in the National Assembly and took an oath to force a new constitution on the king. The King appeared to relent, and legalised the National Assembly under the Third Estate. He then, however, surrounded Versailles with his troops and dismissed a popular minster of state, Jacques Necker. In response, the oppressed Parisians stormed the Bastille on July 14th of the same year.

The Tennis Court oath was a pivotal moment in the French Revolution, with the Third Estate garnering more and more influence and popularity. The Oath signified for the first time that the citizens of France stood officially against Louis XVI.
