Lawn tennis is a good sport,being based on the ancient game of court tennis,which probably came?up in Egypt or Persia some 2,500 years ago.Major Walter Wingfield thought that.something like court?tennis could be played outdoors on lawns,and in December 1873,he introduced his new game,which he?called Sphairistike,at a lawn party in Wales.The sport became popular very rapidly,but the strange,difficult name disappeared almost at once,being replaced by the very simple and logical term"lawn?tennis".
By 1874 the game was being played by British soldiers in Bermuda,and in the early months of that year a young lady named Mary Outerbridge returned from Bermuda to New York,bringing with her the equipment necessary to play the new game.With the help of one of her brothers,she laid out a court on the grounds of the Staten Island Cricket and Baseball Club,and there,in the spring of 1874,Miss Outerbridge and some of her friends played the first game of lawn tennis in the United States.And just two years later,in"1876,the first United States lawn tennis tournament(锦标赛)was held--at Nahant near Boston.

Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A.Lawn tennis became popular very rapidly in the United States.
B.It was Major Walter Wingfield who invented court tennis.
C.The sport was called"lawn tennis"shortly after it was invented.
D.Miss Outerbridge set up a lawn tennis court with the help of her brother.
