The year 1929 in tennis was a complex mixture of mainly amateur tournaments composed of international, invitational, national, exhibition, team (city leagues, country leagues, international knock-out tournaments) events and joined by regional professional tournaments limited mostly to British, German, French and American Pro events.
The professionals were mostly coaches who coached for a living, while amateur rules prohibited tennis players to benefit financially from playing. There were a few occasional professional against amateur challenges as well held in team competition format. The amateur events were almost all all-comers' event and the majority included a mixed title contest. The women's most successful players in the European international championships were Esna Boyd of Australia and two players from the United States Elizabeth Ryan who was thuspunished by the United States Lawn Tennis Association for her commitment to European events compared to those in the U.S. and Helen Wills Moody who won the two most prestigious tournaments in Europe, the French Championships and Wimbledon. The Four Musketeers dominated the rankings and tournaments worldwide. Also the Australian Championships was won by a British player, Colin Gregory.
The most important team cups were the Wightman Cup for women and the Davis Cup (called the International Lawn Tennis Challenge) and the Mitre Cup (South American version of the Davis Cup) for men. The 1929 Wightman Cup was its seventh edition and was organized by the United States Lawn Tennis Association between the teams of Great Britain and the United States. The 1929 International Lawn Tennis Challenge was its 24th edition and was organized by the International Tennis Federation. The tournament was split into the American and European zones. The winner of each sub-zone played in an Inter-Zonal Final. 24 teams entered the Europe Zone (including South Africa and Chile), while five nations participated in the America Zone. The United States defeated Cuba in the America Zone, but would then lose to France in the Challenge Round, giving France their third straight title. The final was played at Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France on July 26–28.

- "The Server shall not by the following movements of his feet be deemed "to change his position by walking or running:
- Slight movements of the feet which do not materially affect the location originally taken up by him.
- An unrestricted movement of one foot so long as the other foot maintains continuously its original contact with the ground.
- At no time during the delivery of the service (i.e. from the taking up of the stance to the moment of impact of the racket and the ball) may both feet be off the ground simultaneously.
- The word "feet" means the extremities of the legs below the ankles and at all times during the delivery of the service (as before described) every part of such extremities must be behind (i.e. further from the net than) the base line."
- "The Server shall not by the following movements of his feet be deemed "to change his position by walking or running:

- The pre-order for the Wimbledon Championships tickets exceeded 18,000 reservations, which was a 5,500 boost from previous year, while the actual seats were only at 3,500. The reservations required pre-payment. The anticipated income would have been $117,879, 49% uprise from 1928, if not for the money back guarantee for the overbooking, which totalled at $94,969 thus the predicted cash-in was just $22,910. [66][40]

Notes
- a b George Lyttleton-Rogers was an Irish player but the rules of the Butler Trophy and Nations Cup required players to be of the same nationality thus Rogers represented Great Britain on those two occasions.
- c Due to constant rain the South of France tournament was postponed to March and this year it was merged with the annual Parc Imperial L.T.C. de Nice tournament.
- d Jon Henderson of The Guardian incorrectly dates the match to 1930. The record was broken in the 1984 Central Fidelity Banks International by Jean Hepner and Vicki Nelson-Dunbar with 643 shots.[41]
- e Lo Sport Fascista switches the results of Sanremo and Bordighera. It is apparent in their chronological order and match outcomes.
