  • How the Court Surface Is Affecting the Serve-And-Volley Tristan Barnett
    How the court surface is affecting the serve-and-volley Tristan Barnett Strategic Games www.strategicgames.com.au 1. Introduction The modern version of the game (official name of Lawn Tennis) as we recognize it today was designed and patented by Major Walter Clopton Wingfield in 1873. Two years later in 1875, the official rules of the game were drawn up by Marylebone Cricket Club, and two years later in 1877, Wimbledon began on a grass surface as the first official championships. All four grand slam events have been played on a grass surface. Wimbledon is the only grand slam event played on a grass court today and has always been played on a grass court surface. The French Open began in 1891 on a grass surface and remained on grass until 1928 when the surface was changed to clay. The US Open began in 1881 on a grass surface; until it was changed to clay from 1975-1977 and from 1978 has been played on a hard court surface. Finally, the Australian Open began in 1905 on a grass surface and remained on grass until 1988 when the surface was changed to a hard court. There has been a change in the proportion of tournaments played on different court surfaces from 1877 to 2010. Firstly, for the first 14 years of the game, all tournaments (grand slam and non grand slam) were played on grass. Secondly, for the first 101 years of the game all tournaments were played on the natural surfaces of grass and clay. Thirdly, according to the ITF, until the early 1970’s, the majority of tournaments were played on grass including three out of the four grand slams.

  • Grand Slams’ Are Iconic Global Sports Competitions And, As Proven by the 2017 Australian Open, Capable of Drawing Blockbuster Audiences
    The four tennis ‘grand slams’ are iconic global sports competitions and, as proven by the 2017 Australian Open, capable of drawing blockbuster audiences. Roger Federer’s victory over Rafael Nadal brought Eurosport its largest-ever audience for a tennis match with 20.7 million viewers across Europe, while in the host country, the 3.6-million (4.4-million peak) figure was the highest audience for the final in over a decade. The prestige and image attached to grand slam tennis is not lost on the sport’s broadcast partners. For domestic broadcasters this has led to a continuous fee increase for the quartet of slams. Using Sportcal’s Revenue Dashboard – available to subscribers of the Media Intelligence Centre – to analyse the domestic revenue generated, Sportcal Insight examines how the grand slams have enhanced their domestic rights revenues. Currency conversions, where possible, have been done at the time of the deal and modelled data has been used for incremental rises during a rights agreement. All grand slams have long-running domestic deals with established broadcasters. This, it can be argued, limits competition and the potential for mushrooming revenues, resulting in a more modest rise than might otherwise be the case. In Australia, free-to-air network Seven’s most recent deal with Tennis Australia is under investigation by the country’s corporate watchdog because a competitive bidding process wasn’t launched, amid claims that the governing body could have raised an extra A$50 million ($45 million) had the rights been taken to the open market. The 2017 women’s Australian Open final attracted 360,000 more viewers than the final of T20 cricket’s Big Bash League (aired on another free-to-air broadcaster, Network Ten, at the same time).

    OSC REFERENCE COLLECTION TENNIS History of Tennis at the Olympic Games 19.10.2017 TENNIS History of Tennis at the Olympic Games TENNIS Seoul 1988 Beijing 2008 London 2012 Rio 2016 Singles (M) Singles (M) Doubles (W) Singles (M) INTRODUCTION Tennis was on the Olympic programme from the Games of the I Olympiad in Athens in 1896, until the Games of the VIII Olympiad in Paris in 1924. It was then removed from the programme owing to a difference of opinion between the IOC and the International Tennis Federation. Tennis made its Olympic return as a demonstration sport in 1968 and 1984 and has featured on the Olympic programme since the Games of the XXIV Olympiad in Seoul in 1988. KEY STAGES Entry 1894: At the Paris Congress held in June, the desire was expressed for “athletics games (football, lawn tennis, real tennis, etc.)” to feature on the Olympic programme. Withdrawal 1928: At the 27th IOC Session held in Amsterdam in July and August, the IOC Executive Board’s decision to remove tennis from the Olympic programme was approved. This decision was supported following the breakdown in negotiations between the IOC and the International Federation over the latter’s various demands (being able to apply its own definition of amateurism in particular). Return to the 1981: At the 84th IOC Session held in Baden-Baden in September and programme October, it was decided to add tennis to the programme of the Games of the XXIV Olympiad in Seoul in 1988. Mixed doubles 2009: At the IOC Executive Board meeting held in Berlin in August, the addition of mixed doubles for the Games in London in 2012 was approved.

  • All Tennis Grips Explained Clearly
    All Tennis Grips Explained Clearly The tennis grips you use have a big influence on your style of play. This is because the tennis grip is one of the factors that determines how much of spin you put and how much of pace you generate. One grip is not better than another. You should select a grip that helps your style of play. If you are an aggressive player, choose a grip that allows you to hit through the ball and put more pace (think Federer). If you are more of a consistent player, choose a grip that allows you to put more spin (think Nadal). The tennis racket grip is divided into 8 bevels as shown in the diagram. The type of grip depends on which bevel the Index Knuckle and Heel Pad rest. All of the tennis grip diagrams below assume that you are right handed. If you are left handed just reverse the instructions. Serve Continental Grip Use this for the serve, volley, overhead, and slice (all the pros do). The Index Knuckle and Heel Pad rest on bevel 2. Forehand There are three forehand grips. Each grip has its own natural height at which you would contact the ball. The higher the natural contact point, the more naturally you hit across the back of the ball from bottom to top, and more top spin you put on the ball at the expense of pace. This will be clearer as you read about the three forehand grips. Eastern Forehand Grip Index Knuckle and Heel Pad rest on the 3rd bevel.

People such as Maurice McLoughlin, a contemporary champion in 1915, wrote “’Strokes on the left- hand side of a right-handed player, and vice versa, are taken in what might be called the most ‘unnatural’ position in tennis. The backswing is much more hampered than in any other stroke. The strength of the wrist is much more demanding…all these things make the ordinary backhand stroke an awkward one…’ J. Parmly Paret wrote in 1927 ‘The backhand stroke is one of the greatest stumbling blocks for every beginner…if you’re like the average player, you’re pretty relaxed on the forehand, but when you see a ball coming to your backhand you cringe, ‘Dear God, it’s a backhand’(cited in Tabak, 1991, p.

  • Wimbledon Tennis
    d Celebrating 143 years of Wimbledon tennis: Did You Know…? Facts and traditions linked to the world’s most famous tennis championship. d The All England Club was originally for croquet enthusiasts. Founded in 1868 on Worple Road, Wimbledon, the All England Croquet Club was a private sports club. During the early 1870s Major Walter Clopton Wingfield popularised “sphairistike,” a form of lawn tennis that grew rapidly in popularity. By 1875 it was added to the programme of the All England Club partly to counteract the declining enthusiasm for croquet. The Club grounds were remodelled and the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club was founded. The first of the famous Wimbledon tennis championships was held in 1877. d The first Wimbledon champion was Spencer Gore. He was born at West Side House, Wimbledon in 1850 and came from an aristocratic background - he was the great-grandson of the Earl of Arran. Spencer William Gore was educated at Harrow and excelled at all sports, particularly football and cricket. He had a successful career with the Surrey XI, hitting 17 runs off the first 4 balls of his debut match. In 1877, Spencer was one of only twenty-two players to compete at the first Wimbledon lawn tennis championship. Players paid a guinea ( £1.05 in modern money ) to compete. 21 matches were played over 5 days and Spencer beat George Marshall in straight sets to become the first holder of the men’s singles title. He was rewarded with a 12 guinea prize ( £12.60 today ) and the original trophy - the silver Field Cup.
