Was the tennis court oath before the meeting of the estate generals in the french revolution?
The Tennis Court Oath essentially marked the real beginning of the French Revolution. When the Third Estate was knocked out of the meeting of the First and Second Estates, they moved to a nearby tennis court where they declared themselves the National Assembly and swore never to separate until they had drafted a constitution for France.
By declaring that they had the power to remake the government, the National Assembly became a group not only joined in protest against Louis XVI's despotic rule, but joined under the assertion of having sovereign power in the nation.
The Tennis Court Oath was what began the real revolutionary action that was soon to come.

The National Assembly was the self-proclaimed government during the early days of the Revolution. They were the representatives of the Third Estate (meaning everybody in the population who wasn't noble or clergy) who went to attend the calling of the Estates General by King Louis XVI. The Third Estate's representatives had high hopes for the Estates General meeting, such as fair representation with the clergy and nobles, but they were disappointed. When Louis XVI stopped the meeting altogether, the Third Estate's representatives met in a nearby tennis court and proclaimed themselves the National Assembly of France. The National Assembly was the functioning government body during the first part of the Revolution. They were the ones who issued the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen.
