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.

  • Tennis and World War II
    Tennis & War: World War II Overview: As students learn about conflicts throughout history, they will also learn about the tennis players/Hall of Famers who participated in these conflicts, whether on the battlefield or on the home front. The activities that accompany this unit are geared toward students in 6th-8th grade. These activities encompass review of Common Core Standards mastered at previous grade levels as well as Common Core Standards Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects and English Language Arts Writing to be mastered at the students’ current grade level. Objectives: Students will be able to- ● Form an understanding of the way these wars impacted everyday life ● Activate background knowledge regarding World War II ● Gain an understanding of the conflict and how the tennis players’ lives were impacted by the conflict Lesson Time Suggested: Two periods Don Budge In 1938, John Donald Budge became the first player in history to accomplish what had previously been considered the unattainable: he won the singles championships at Australia, France, Wimbledon, and the United States, completing the first ever Grand Slam. With those victories came a rarified place among the tennis elite. 1937 to 1938 was a spectacular chapter in Budge’s illustrious career. Notwithstanding his Grand Slam, in both 1937 and 1938 Budge won all three Wimbledon championships – singles, doubles, and mixed doubles. In 1938 he crushed the field without losing a set, the first player in history to sweep the field in such a fashion, and in the final he deposed of Britain’s Bunny Austin. Afterwards, Austin said, "Donald was unstoppable that afternoon, almost unplayable at times.
