  • Maureen Connolly
    San Diego’s Sweetheart: Maureen Connolly Joey Seymour “I’ve got everything I want. Everything I’ve had, I got through tennis. It gave me a terribly exciting life. I met so many people in exalted positions. It opened so many doors and it’s still opening them. I’ve had a wonderful life. If I should leave tomorrow, I’ve had the experience of 20 people.”1 – Maureen Connolly Maureen Connolly was nationally recognized as a tennis star from San Diego in the 1950s. At age eleven, she was dubbed “Little Mo” by San Diego sports writer Nelson Fisher who claimed that her power forehand and backhand had the same firepower as the big guns of the USS Missouri, known as the “Big Mo.”2 The Associated Press named her Female Athlete of the Year for three consecutive years (1952, 1953, and 1954), an honor she achieved by developing a particularly aggressive style of play. After her career came to a crashing halt on July 20, 1954, when she was thrown from her horse, “Little Mo” continued to pack a great deal into her life. She frequently told people, “I’ve lived ten lives.” She was a tennis champion, newspaper reporter and author, wife, mother, restaurateur, sporting- goods spokeswoman, television and radio color commentator, philanthropist, and cancer victim, before dying at age thirty-four. The following article provides a retrospective look at the many lives of Maureen Sixteen year-old Maureen Connolly practices at a public tennis court in Connolly.

  • MINORITY TENNIS – a HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE by Bob Davis PART I the BEGINNING
    SYMBOLS OF CHANGE MINORITY TENNIS – A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE By Bob Davis PART I THE BEGINNING Slavery was abolished in the United States in 1865. Nearly 15 years later, in 1880, the United States Lawn Tennis Association (USLTA) was founded (The name was later changed to USTA). Tennis was the dominion of the white, upper class and Blacks were neither interested, nor invited to participate. Segregation was rampant throughout America and an attitude of exclusion was pervasive in most areas of American society. Blacks began to surface on tennis courts in about 1890 at Tuskegee Institute. Booker T. Washington, one of America’s great, black visionaries and leaders, founded Tuskegee. In his famous Atlanta Address of 1895, Booker T. Washington set forth the motivating spirit behind Tuskegee Institute. In a post Reconstruction era marked by growing segregation and disfranchisement of blacks, this spirit was based on what realistically might be achieved in that time and place. "The opportunity to earn a dollar in a factory just now," he observed, "is worth infinitely more than the opportunity to spend a dollar in an opera house." Because of Washington's extraordinary ability to work within the system and to maximize the possible, Tuskegee flourished to the extent only dreamed about when he met his first students on July 4, 1881. By 1898, Blacks began to have inter-club matches with rival black clubs in New York, Philadelphia and a variety of other eastern seaboard cities. These inter-club rivalries were primarily networking opportunities; occasions for the black, college-graduated elite to commune with their colleagues from other cities.

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.

  • Berkeley Tennis Club LOOKING100
    claremont history By Wendy Markel in collaboration with Don Jacobus at the Berkeley Tennis Club in the spring, and the Pacific Coast Tournament took place in the fall. In the 1920s, a young girl to burst onto the Berkeley Tennis Club scene was Helen Wills. She was given a membership in the Club for her 14th birthday present. At age 18, she won the Wimbledon Ladies’ Singles and eventually took 11 Wimbledon titles and 4 Don Budge titles at the French Nationals. She was elected to the Internation- al Tennis Hall of Fame in 1959. To quote Anna Harper in an inter- view in 1975, “Helen Wills . every morning would run from her Berkeley Tennis Club home on Tunnel Road all the way down to the Anna Head School When the train still ran between the courts. in the middle of Berkeley to strengthen her legs. Well, I didn’t think they looked as though they needed strengthening.” LOOKING In a 1975 interview with Ned McFord, he said, “In the 1920s, there were only two big (Northern Californian) clubs—the Cal BACK YEARS Club and the Berkeley Tennis Club. That’s where all the players 100 were centered; there was nothing else.” As a member of the Berkeley Tennis Club (BTC), I have always been struck by the incredible physical location it occupies in our Don Budge, one of the club’s most famous members, was 15 years community. And over the years, I have become aware of the long old when he joined in 1930 and went on to win the California history of fame that has put it on the larger international tennis State Junior Championship and the Pacific Coast Juniors, and map.

  • ALTHEA GIBSON Tennis, Which First Came to the United States in the Late
    ALTHEA GIBSON Tennis, which first came to the United States in the late 19th century, by the middle of the 20th century had become part of a culture of health and fitness. Public programs brought tennis to children in poor neighbourhoods, though those children couldn't dream of playing in the elite tennis clubs. One young girl named Althea Gibson lived in Harlem in the 1930s and 1940s. Her family was on welfare. She was a client of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children. She had trouble in school and was often truant. She ran away from home frequently. She also played paddle tennis in public recreation programs. Her talent and interest in the game led her to win tournaments sponsored by the Police Athletic Leagues and the Parks Department. Musician Buddy Walker noticed her playing table tennis, and thought she might do well in tennis. He brought her to the Harlem River Tennis Courts, where she learned the game and began to excel. The young Althea Gibson became a member of the Harlem Cosmopolitan Tennis Club, a club for African American players, through donations raised for her membership and lessons. By 1942 Gibson had won the girls' singles event at the American Tennis Association's New York State Tournament. (The American Tennis Association - ATA - was an all-black organization, providing tournament opportunities not otherwise available to African American tennis players.) In 1944 and 1945 she again won ATA tournaments. Then Gibson was offered an opportunity to develop her talents more fully: a wealthy South Carolina businessman opened his home to her and supported her in attending an industrial high school, while studying tennis privately.
