Official Announcement . of the Southern Lawn Tennis OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT . OF THE 1 SOUTHERN LAWN TENNIS ASSOCIATION ~ 1961 FUTURE CHAMPION IS N!illions of players and thousands of instructors are deeply indebted to the BALL-BOY COiYIPANY for its many contributions to the instructional end of tennis. BALL-BOY COl\IIPANY, headed by Eric Bergmark and Judy Barta, has virtually revolutionized the teaching of tennis through automation. The first innovation produced by this Company was the BALL-BOY itself, an auto­ matic ball throwing machine that will toss up to forty balls at one of three speeds, at any loft, at five second intervals. Soon to follow were the BALL-BOY "RETRIEVER" and "SERVER." Now, BALL-BOY has released a new item of value to teachers and students of tennis­ the "RE-BOUND-NET" (advertised below). This ingenius device allows the user a longer interval between strokes. The only way that it might be compared to a tennis "backboard" is that it returns balls hit against it. Unlike the back board in any other way, the RE-BOUND­ NET allows several seconds more for the student to prepare himself for the next stroke, without any reduction in ball velocity. "Adjustable tension controls" further add to the ver­ satility of this device. The RE-BOUND-NET may also be tilted at various angles to sim­ ulate a variety of shots. SOUTHERN TE~NIS ~Iagazine wishes to commend BALL-BOY Company on its achievements in the "grass roots" phase of the game of tennis. Their efforts have produced a variety of excellent and varied equipment which is of great value to both the student and instructor.

  • 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.

Design Option Presented by Michael David Ross Texas Tech University Spring 1978 1, INTRODUCTION 2, THE CLIENT 3, FINANCING 4, THE SITE 11 S> FACILITIES 24 ^, RESTRICTIONS 40 7, APPENDIX 54 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION THE NATURE AND SCOPE OF THE PROJECT The nature of this thesis program is the development of the most precise and complete collection of data concerning my topic, A Racquet Club for Lubbock, Texas. Some of the questions this program will answer are: What is a Racquet Club? Who this Racquet Club is for? Where is this Racquet Club located? What goes on in this club? The elements composing the physical make-up of the facility are: 1. Clubhouse A) offices B) lounge and dining C) pro-shop D) lockers and dressing facilities E) indoor tennis and racquet ball courts 2. Outdoor tennis courts This facility not only will enhance the city of Lubbock but also provide its members a com­ plex that enables them to play the game as it should be played and to savor the deepest pleas­ ure the game has to offer. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT The name and the game came from the ancient net and racquet sport known in France where it was invented, as Jeu de Paume. This sport had its origins in the Middle Ages. It is mentioned in twelfth and thirteenth century manuscripts. In the sixteenth century the game was known to be exclusively an aristo­ cratic game because of the high cost of building courts.

  • The Real Sport of Kings When Our Family Moved from Notting Hill Gate
    The Real Sport of Kings When our family moved from Notting Hill Gate to larger quarters on Brook Green I realized it was a ten-minute bike ride to The Queen’s Club. A mecca of lawn tennis, with grass courts, Queen’s was known for the Invitational that preceded Wimbledon. As a youth, spurred by my father whose passion was tennis, I played a lot, at times as many as eight hours a day. The game was so bound with Southampton’s lifestyle that even the houses, with their white- painted frames and green shutters, could seem a reverse echo of the grass courts on which we played. It is hard to imagine a Long Island village where we played only three months a year competing with Florida and California, but the town boasted a Wimbledon winner and several national champions. The two grandsons of Dwight Davis who had given the eponymous cup were daily opponents, and the Meadow Club Invitational (now the U.S. Amateur Championship) reigned as the longest continuing tournament on the grass court circuit. This tournament, which brought the great “bums,” as they were known, roaring in on their jalopies was the social high point of the Southampton summer, crowned by a dance and massive silver trophies that begged to be melted down. We put them up in our houses and the money I made ball-boying more than paid for all the presents I bought my parents. For much of my youth I aspired to that kind of athletic career. I wanted to travel to fabled venues: Wimbledon, Rome, Monte Carlo, Paris, Rapallo, Gstaad.
