All Time Weeks @ #1 Record 1881- Renshaw Wins Wimbledon All Time Weeks @ #1 Record 1881- Renshaw wins Wimbledon 1881, beating 4 top 7 players to do it, becomes #1 on Monday, July 11, 1881., 1 YE #1 1882- Brother Ernie wins everything else but loses only 2 matches of year that matter, to Willie in Irish F and Wimbledon F. Willie defends Wimbledon title, retains #1, 2 YE #1, 77 weeks at #1 1883- Willie vacates Irish title, Ernie wins it. Lawford won London Athletic Club and Prince's Club, Wilberforce wins Manchester. Ernie Renshaw had to play Lawford first round which is a joke but Ernie won it in 5. Horrible seeding. After that match, Ernie marches to the finals where once again he loses to William Renshaw, 5 sets again. Ernie may be the best of the rest, but Willie is still the best. 53 weeks at #1 due to there being 53 Monday's in 1883. 130 weeks at #1, 3 YE #1 1884- Lawford, who invented the topspin forehand by the way, beat the US champ Sears at the Irish and Ernie in the finals, both in straights. Lawford wins London Athletic Club as well, and looks poised to challenge Willie Renshaw for the Wimbledon title and #1 crown. Lawford had to play Wilberforce first round so this is 2 years in a row they give Lawford a top contender first round, do they have beef with him? Lawford wins in straights, Ernie loses SF, and Lawford plays Willie in the finals. But Renshaw holds firm and takes his title once more, in straights and with a bagel in the first, wow. Willie Renshaw retains #1 and Wimbledon, 52 weeks straight, 182 weeks, 4 YE #1 1885- Lawford def. Ernie in 5 in the Irish finals also wins British Covered Courts, Ernie Browne wins Bath and Cheltenham. At Wimbledon, Ernie Renshaw def. Ernie Browne in 5 in one SF, but then lost to Lawford in 5 in the all comers final. In the Final final, William Renshaw wins it 7-5 in the 4th, once again retaining the Wimbledon title and #1. 52 weeks, 5 YE #1, 234 weeks 1886- Ed Lake Williams wins Covered Courts over Lawford in the finals, Lawford wins the Irish over Willoughby Hamilton in the finals, Ernie Browne wins Cheltenham over James Dwight in the finals, Ernie Lewis wins London over Charles Ross in the finals, so plenty of contenders. Lawford def. Hamilton in QF, Ernie Lewis def. Ernie Renshaw in 5 in QF, then beats Wilberforce in 5 in the SF, but lost to Lawford in 5 in the all comers final. So once again we have Lawford vs. Willie Renshaw for everything, Lawford's 4th time in the final, 3rd time in the final vs. Renshaw. Renshaw wins AGAIN, 6-4 in the 4th this time, to once again retain #1 and Wimbledon. Another 52 weeks in 1886 leaves us with 6 YE #1, 286 weeks, wow the exact numbers of Sampras! 1887- 27 weeks until Monday, July 11, 1887 gives Renshaw 313 weeks. Renshaw was unable to defend his Wimbledon title due to tennis elbow, so the usual contenders got their best chance at the title. Herbert Lawford beat Ernie Renshaw in 5 sets to claim Wimbledon and #1 for the year. But William Renshaw was not done... 1888- Ernie Lewis wins Covered Courts, Ernie Renshaw win Irish, Harry Grove and Willougby Hamilton won big warm ups. William Renshaw the old champion played only Wimbledon. He beat Grove in the R16 but lost QF to Hamilton in 4. Ernie Renshaw def. Hamilton in SF in 4. Ernie Renshaw also beat Ernie Lews in 4 in the all comers final to set up a rematch with Lawford for Wimbledon and #1. Ernie wins it, in straights, and claims the title, and the title. Lawford gets 52 weeks at #1 and YE 1887, Ernie Renshaw gets 53 and YE 1888 since 1888 has 53 Mondays. 1889- Hamilton wins 4 Wimbledon warm ups and seems in the best form. Also the true comeback of William Renshaw, original GOAT. Beats Lewis at the Irish but loses to Hamilton in the finals. At Wimbledon, Hamilton def. Lewis in QF, Harry Barlow upsets Hamilton in the SF, and Willie Renshaw def. old nemesis Lawford in 4 sets in the other SF. Renshaw wins 3-6, 5-7, 8-6, 10-8, 8-6 to face his brother in the final final. Of course he beat him as usual, in 4, but Renshaw beating Lawford and Barlow, especially the Barlow match which possibly cemented him as the GOAT. Willie gets back to #1 on Monday, July 8, 1889, and holds 26 weeks until YE 1889, giving him 7 YE #1, giving him 339 weeks. 1890- Barlow, Hamilton, and Josh Pim do the best in the pre-Wimbledon run ups. At Wimbledon, Hamilton def. Pim in one SF, and Barlow over Lewis in the other. Hamilton def. Barlow in 5 in the all comers final, to set up the final battle with Renshaw. Hamilton def. Renshaw in 4 in the finals, toppling the GOAT finally and for all time, beating him again like he did in 1888. Renshaw got 27 final weeks as Hamilton became #1 on Monday July 7, 1890. Renshaw finishes with 366 weeks, 7 YE #1. Renshaw would not even play a match for 3 years after that as he became head of LTA in Britain. Renshaw played only sporadically 1893-1896 before retiring for good in 1896. Hamilton also retired after this match, not playing again until 1899 in a ceremonial first round. Pim loses to Hamilton at Wimbledon 1891- Ernie Lewis wins 2 big Wimbledon lead in events, but at the big one, with Renshaw and Hamilton both gone, the crown is vacant. Lewis has to give a walkover at Wimbledon and Pim loses to Baddeley in the Wimbledon finals as Baddeley assumes the crown 1892- Baddeley beats Pim at Waterloo and Wimbledon and keeps #1 1893- Pim finally wins Wimbledon, claims #1 on July 17 1893, Baddeley gets 2 years wire to wire. 1894- Loses twice to Baddeley in runups but wins Wimbledon over Baddeley to keep #1 1895- Baddeley wins Wimbledon, gets back #1, Baddeley now with 3 YE #1 to Pim's 2 1896- Harold Mahoney wins Wimbledon, get to #1, plays very well elsewhere too 1897- Reggie Doherty wins Wimbledon, get to #1 on July 5 1897, and begins a long reign, 1st YE #1, 26 weeks. 1898- Reggie loses to Mahoney at the Irish, but Laurie beats Harold at Wimbledon before Reggie defends the crown. YE #1 2nd, 78 weeks 1899- Reggie undefeated, wire to wire, 3rd YE #1, 52 weeks is 130 weeks 1900- Reggie again undefeated, wire to wire, 4th YE #1, 53 weeks is 183 weeks 1901- Reggie beats Laurie to win the Irish but loses to Gore at Wimbledon, on July 1 1901 Gore becomes #1, so Reggie ends with 208 weeks at 4 YE #1 1902- Arthur Gore had beaten Reggie Doherty at Wimbledon 1901 to take #1. Gore also beat Laurie Doherty 3 times in 1900, including at Wimbledon. 1901 Laurie got two wins over Gore in smaller events but lost very early shockingly at Wimbledon, while Gore of course won the title over Reggie and took #1. Laurie put up serious numbers, playing and winning a ton, going 35-3 in 1901, but again, lost the biggest event. In 1902, however, Laurie made the finals of Wimbledon and defeated Gore and took #1 on June 30, 1902. Laurie and Reggie actually did travel and play the US swing. Laurie went undefeated but gave several walkovers while Larned the US champ beat Reggie in US F and Davis Cup F. So Larned is good but Laurie still #1, gets 26 weeks, 1 YE #1, Gore got 51 weeks total. 1903- Laurie goes 26-0, defends Wimbledon, beats Larned in both Davis Cup and the USO, so undisputed #1, 52 more weeks is 2 YE #1, 78 weeks. 1904- Laurie defends Wimbledon, beats closest opponent Josiah Ritchie 3-1 H2H that year, 52 more weeks, 3 YE #1, 130 weeks 1905- Laurie undefeated for the year again, wins over Ritchie, Larned, defends Wimbledon, get the Davis Cup, another 52 weeks, 182 weeks, 4 YE #1 1906- Laurie undefeated once more, wins Davis Cup, defends Wimbledon, another 52 weeks, 5th YE #1, 235 weeks 1907- Laurie lost to Josiah Ritchie in Monte Carlo 1907 and retired to take up golf but does not lose #1 until Monday July 8, 1907, when Brookes beats Wilding, Ritchie, and Gore to win Wimbledon, also wins Davis Cup. Laurie gets 27 weeks for a total of 5 YE #1 and 262 weeks. 1908- Wilding goes 87-8 but loses Wimbledon and Davis Cup. Larned wins his only 2 events, USO and Davis Cup. Gore wins Wimbledon and Gold Medal and many other events and takes #1 on July 6 1908 1909- Wilding finally takes #1 on Monday October 25, 1909, after winning AO and goes on to win Davis Cup. Gore stays in Britain, Larned in US, Wilding down under, but he has the best numbers. Gets 9 weeks and YE #1 1910- Wilding consolidates #1. Goes 47-3, only 3 losses to Decugis the French champion. 52 weeks, 2nd YE #1, 61 weeks. 1911- Wilding goes 49-3, defends Wimbledon, 52 weeks, 3rd YE #1, 113 weeks 1912- Another wire to wire year, defends Wimbledon, 30-2 season, 4th YE #1, 165 weeks 1913- Wilding 49-1, 52 weeks, 5th YE #1, 217 weeks at #1 1914- Wilding had a great first part of the season, going 44-0 to start the year, before losing to Brookes in the Wimbledon finals, who takes over at #1 on July 6 1914.

  • Wilmer Lawson Allison Jr W5VV *1904-1977* Wilmer Born in San
    ilmer Lawson Allison Jr W5VV *1904-1977* Wilmer born in San Antonio was an American amateur tennis champion of the 1930's. With all of this, how could our subject find W time for ham radio activities? Allison’s career was somewhat overshadowed by the arrival of Don Budge, but he was both a fine singles player and along with his frequent partner, John Van Ryn, a great doubles player. Right-handed, Allison’s greatest triumph was winning the 1935 U.S. Championship singles, defeating Fred Perry in the semi- finals and Sidney Wood in the finals. He had previously lost to Perry in the fifth set in the 1934 finals. He was ranked U.S. No.1 both years and World No.4 in 1932 and 1935. At Wimbledon, Allison lost the 1930 title to Bill Tilden. As a doubles player with partner John van Ryn, Allison won the 1929 and 1930 Wimbledon and 1935 U.S. doubles championships. Allison’s last major tournament was a 1936 quarter-final loss to Bunny Austin. At the University of Texas at Austin, Allison was the Intercollegiate tennis champion in 1927. In his 1979 autobiography Jack Kramer, who had a fine volley himself, devotes a page to the best tennis strokes he had every seen. He writes: “Forehand Volley – Wilmer Allison of Texas, who won the 1935 Forest Hills, had the best I ever saw as a kid and I’ve never seen anyone since hit one better.” George Lott, who himself won 5 U.S doubles titles as well as 2 at Wimbledon, wrote an article May 1973 issue of Tennis Magazine in which he ranked the great doubles teams and the great players.

  • Shirley Park LTC News Letter – Spring 2012
    Shirley Park LTC News Letter – Spring 2012 Club Championships – Summer 2011 Mens Singles Final - Harry Ware beat Dan Hatton 6-1 7-6 It seemed that Harry Ware was in a hurry when he raced through the opening set of the Mens Singles Final against two-time former champion Dan Hatton taking it 6-1 in just 22 minutes. However, the second set proved a much closer affair. Dan struck early on by taking the first two games of a see-saw set that contained some high quality tennis and exciting rallies. Harry then broke service twice to take a 3-2 lead, but Dan returned the compliment and had a chance to take the set when serving at 5-3. Two double faults gave Harry the chance to level and, after sharing service holds, he eased through the tie-break to successfully defend his title in straight sets. Ladies Singles Final - Natalie Davis beat Kamila Morgan 6-2 6-3 This was a tight affair. Kamila came out hitting some crunching forehands but Natalie wisely kept most of her shots to Kamila's backhand in an attempt to neutralise her opponent's game. It became clear early on that Natalie’s strategy was to simply out rally her opponent with her consistency. Natalie showing great resilience broke Kamila in the fourth & sixth games to win the first set 6-2. The second set produced some stunning tennis with Kamlia using her forehand topspin to good effect. Kamila moved into a 3-1 lead and at this stage it looked we could be heading to a third set.
