  • History of the Bruce Cup
    HISTORY OF THE BRUCE CUP The Bruce Cup was donated by Henry (Harry) Adam Bruce in 1938 to encourage an interstate school tennis competition between Queensland and New South Wales. New South Wales won the first event held in 1939. Harry Bruce was a Queensland politician who was elected to both the Queensland and Australian Parliaments. He was the Queensland Secretary of Public Instruction from 1938-41. From 1939 until 1962 The Bruce Cup was an under 15 competition. In 1963 it became a primary school event when the Jack Pizzey Cup was introduced for secondary school competition. The event continued as a competition between Queensland and New South Wales until the 1980s when other states joined. The Bruce Cup is now a national competition with all eight states and territories competing. The Bruce Cup has a long and proud tradition with many of Australia finest players beginning their international careers at this event. At the 1948 competition Ken Rosewall played Roy Emerson and met his future wife Wilma McIvor. Bill Gilmore, arguably Australia’s finest tennis official was also a member of the NSW team. Rod Laver, our greatest male tennis player, represented Queensland in 1952. Lew Hoad, Fred Stolle, John Alexander, Phil Dent, Wally Masur, Robyn Ebbern, Jan Lehane and Gail Sherriff all represented their state in the Bruce Cup.. More recently Jason Stoltenberg, Pat Rafter, Mark Woodforde, Todd Woodbridge, Mark Phillippoussis, Scott Draper, Rachael McQuillian, and Alicia Molik have represented their state and performed with distinction on the international scene. Many current Australian players including junior Wimbledon champions, Luke Saville and Ashley Barty have started their careers at the Bruce Cup.

The Grand Slam Tennis Program allows you to see how recent grand slam tennis champions would fair against champions from the past. You can choose from more than 90 former men's grand slam champions and more than 80 former Women's Champions. In addition, you can choose to play the tennis match at the Australian Open, U.S. Open, Wimbledon, or French Open. International tennis matches can also be played, with the option of choosing from many countries around the world. The program is perfect for simulating individual match ups or holding an entire tournament. This is not video graphic game. It is a statistical game based on each former tennis player’s historical success in playing major grand slam singles events. While some players have a higher probability of success, their performance in any particular tournament is still subject to the laws of random probability. For example, a player who has had major success in the French Open is likely to do well in the French Open, but could still lose to a player who has had less historical success in the French Open.
