  • Alice Marble and Helen Hull Jacobs Unit Overview
    Women and Tennis Lesson 1: Alice Marble and Helen Hull Jacobs Unit Overview: As students work through the activities in this unit they will be introduced to some important women in tennis. They will explore, through varied learning experiences, these women’s significance to the game of tennis, but more importantly their impact on the landscape of history. The activities that accompany this unit are geared towards the students’ multiple intelligences and will provide academic challenges at multiple levels of cognitive complexity while satisfying the goal of working towards mastery of grade appropriate common core standards of Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects. Objectives: Students will be able to- • Form an understanding of the contribution that Alice Marble and Helen Hull Jacobs made to their sport in regards to the game of tennis and as women athletes in general. • Gain background knowledge through vocabulary activities and comprehension activities (such as guided questioning and using appropriate graphic organizers) about World War II and how Marble and Jacobs contributed to this time in history • Demonstrate what they have learned about Marble and Jacobs, their significance to the game, and their place in history by successfully completing guided questioning activities, group organizers, and by taking part in meaningful classroom discussions. Lesson Time Required: One hour or less Hall of Famer Alice Marble A woman of unmistakable glamour and athleticism, the striking Marble, wearing her familiar sun visor, altered the face of the women’s game. The first woman to play the serve-and-volley game, she demonstrated to the skeptics that it was indeed possible for a woman to master an aggressive, net-rushing style of play.

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.

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.
