Tennis in Sri Lanka owes its origins to British colonial influence, introduced as a leisurely pastime for planters and officials seeking recreation in their adopted homeland. As the sport gained popularity, exclusive clubs like DMCC became the heart of tennis in the highlands, where immaculately maintained courts hosted spirited matches under crisp mountain skies. What began as an elite pursuit soon spread beyond colonial circles, embedding itself in the country’s sporting culture. Today, DMCC continues this proud tradition, offering a space where history meets modern competition.
