Tennis has been a part of the Summer Universiade program since the games' first edition in 1959, with the exception of the 1975 Summer Universiade and again in 1989. The first change at the program was at the 1987 edition, when FISU decided to award two bronze medals for the losers of the semifinals, eliminating fourth place. The second change was in 2009, when the team competitions were included. Currently, seven events are played at Universiade.
