When did tennis become an Olympic sport?

Tennis was first included in the Olympic Games in 1896 at the inaugural Athens Games, but it was a demonstration sport and was not awarded medals. It became an official medal event at the 1900 Paris Games and has been part of the Olympic program every year since, except for 1924, 1928, and 1984. Women's tennis was added to the program in 1900, and mixed doubles was added in 1900 and again in 1912.
