  • Borg and Evert-Lloyd Favorites at U.S. Open
    The Harris Survey For Release: Thursday AM, September 3rd, 1981 1981. 71 ISS'" 0273-1037 BORG AND EVERT-LLOYD FAVORITES AT U.S. OPEN By Louis Harris America's tennis fans will be rooting for Bjorn Borg and Chris Evert-Lloyd to win this year's U.S. Open. By wide margins, those who follow tennis say the Swedish star and Evert-Lloyd are their favorite players today. Tennis has scored a spectacular gain among sports fans this year, with the number who say they follow the sport rising from 37 percent to 43 percent since February. The baseball strike prompted a number of fans to start watching tennis on TV and reading more about the sport in newspapers and magazines. A record number is expected to follow this year's U.S. Open as the tournament enters its final stages next week. Five years ago, only 26 percent of sports fans followed tennis. Among the 464 tennis fans interviewed in this Harris Survey between July 8 and July 12, the most popular players in the sport today are: --Among the men, 40 percent name Bjorn Borg as their favorite player, compared with 18 percent who single out John McEnroe, who won the last two U.S. Opens and ended Borg's long reign at Wimbledon this summer. Another 18 percent of American fans named Jimmy Connors as their favorite men's tennis pro. All other top male tennis players finish far behind these three. Americans particularly like Borg for his good sportsmanship on the court. By 86-8 percent, tennis fans agree with the statement that "although he may be quiet, Borg has both superb talent and sportsmanship and sets a fine example for young people." At the same time, a 70-21 percent majority denies the charge that the Swede may "behave well on the court, but his game is too mechanical and even boring." In contrast to Borg, ~cEnroe's tactics on the court don't set well with fans.

  • Procedure for Conducting the Regional Tournament Draw
    Procedure for Conducting the Regional Tournament Draw Goals The regional tennis tournaments represent a one-of-a-kind experience for our student-athletes. As such, it is imperative that the draw be conducted in a manner that provides a fair opportunity to advance to the state tournament. The NCHSAA has given the following guidelines for conducting the draw. 1. That four players (or doubles teams) be seeded and placed in different quarters of the draw. 2. That players (or doubles teams) from the same school be placed in opposite halves of the draw, if possible. 3. That players (or doubles teams) from the same conference not meet in the first round of play, if possible. 4. That, after these conditions are satisfied, the draw be conducted in a random manner. Taken together, these guidelines insure that the players who have distinguished themselves during the season do not meet in the early rounds of the tournament, that teammates do not have to play each other until as late in the tournament as possible, that players get at least one opportunity to play someone new to them, and that the draw is conducted in a fair manner, giving all players no artificial advantage. The Problem However, implementing these goals is not an easy or straightforward task. If a 16-player draw is conducted in an entirely random fashion, there are over 81 billion unique combinations. Once the four seeded players are selected, there are still almost 30 million possible combinations of the remaining twelve players. If the conditions above are met in only 0.01% of these situations, that’s still about 3,000 potential solutions.

What are my plans for improving the program? ............................................................... 12 1 1. Introduction - What is the grand slam tennis program? 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.
