Both teams dedicated their seasons to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, raising awareness and money as well as promoting educational efforts. The Affiliate Director of the Komen Foundation indicated that Wesleyan’s was the first intercollegiate tennis program in the United States to support the organization. All Wesleyan opponents, women and men, received information packets and pink bracelets before their matches. In addition, Cardinal players dedicated each of their individual contests either to breast-cancer victims or to breast-cancer survivors. Many other schools have contacted Wesleyan tennis and the Komen Foundation, wishing to implement educational and fundraising programs modeled after ours. At the final women’s match of the fall, Vijay Chaudhuri ‘07 Tallen Todorovich ‘07 Madalina Ursu ‘09 NBC TV-30 provided wonderful coverage of the elaborate silent auction, displays, booths, and the team.

Prof. College Of Agriculture Naigaon Bz. Dist. Nanded. ABSTRACT : Tennis is a racket sport that can be played independently against a solitary adversary (singles) or between two groups of two players each (copies). Every player utilizes a tennis racket that is hung with rope to strike an empty elastic ball secured with felt over or around a net and into the rival's court. The object of the diversion is to move the ball so that the rival can't play a legitimate return. The player who can't restore the ball won't pick up a point, while the contrary player will. KEYWORDS : solitary adversary , dimensions of society , Tennis. INTRODUCTION Tennis is an Olympic game and is played at all dimensions of society and at all ages. The game can be played by any individual who can hold a racket, including wheelchair clients. The advanced round of tennis started in Birmingham, England, in the late nineteenth century as grass tennis.[1] It had close associations both to different field (garden) amusements, for example, croquet and bowls just as to the more established racket sport today called genuine tennis. Amid the majority of the nineteenth century, actually, the term tennis alluded to genuine tennis, not grass tennis: for instance, in Disraeli's epic Sybil (1845), Lord Eugene De Vere reports that he will "go down to Hampton Court and play tennis.

  • THROWBACK THURSDAY: MARIA BUENO WINS HER THIRD WIMBLEDON Thursday 29 May 2014 by Leigh Walsh
    THROWBACK THURSDAY: MARIA BUENO WINS HER THIRD WIMBLEDON Thursday 29 May 2014 By Leigh Walsh By Leigh Walsh Our Throwback Thursday series continues as Maria Bueno wins her third and final Wimbledon title , the only South American woman to win The Championships. Wimbledon.com goes back in time... “If you like graceful women and good tennis, you can watch Maria Bueno all day,” wrote Sports Illustrated’s Herbert Warren Wind in 1960. The Brazilian youngster, at 20, had just won back-to-back singles titles at Wimbledon and her talent was sending a wave of interest across the sporting world. Like Suzanne Lenglen before her and Evonne Goolagong Cawley after her, Bueno’s ability to wield a racket like a magician would a wand separated her from her peers. The right-hander was born to a tennis-loving couple who thrust a racket into their daughter’s hands at a young age. Along with her parents and brother Pedro, the Buenos spent much of their time hitting tennis balls back and forth at Clube de Regatas Tiete in Sâo Paulo on the doorstep of their family home. It was some 6,000 miles away, however, on the lawns of the All England Club where Bueno made a lasting mark on the game. And by the time the “Sao Paulo Swallow” arrived in South West London in 1964 bidding for a hat- trick of Wimbledon titles, she was a household name with her all-court game, fluid movement and elegant strokes endearing her to fans. The top four seeds all advanced to the semi-final stage that year.

Yet this definition underestimates the rhetorical potency of spectacle, as a context in which athletes may participate in projects of social transformation and institutional reform. Sport Spectacle, Athletic Activism, and the Rhetorical Analysis of Mediated Sport engages a set of case studies that assess the rhetorical conditions that empower or sideline athletes in projects of social change.

  • Seventh Generation
    Seventh Generation The seventh generation descendants of Richard include quite a few notable individuals. Samuel P May was not a descendant but was married to two Sears sisters(Nos. 2804 & 2808) and wrote the definitive work on Richard Sears' genealogy. This volume would not be possible without his remarkable efforts. Rev Edmund H Sears is a well known theologian and author of the words to "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear." He also wrote the first Sears Genealogy which was pointed out to contain many errors by Dr May. The Sears' Family Tree is based on Edmund's work and was created by Olive Sears(No. 2222). Sea captains abound and are the subject of many of May's anecdotes. Capt Joshua (No. 2516) the clipper ship captain and Capt Dean (No.2465) a packet captain are just two of the more well known seafarers. The sequence numbers of this generation range from No. 1811 to No. 3590. Their birth dates begin in 1774 (No. 1852) and go to 1856 (No. 3418). There are over 600 individuals with recorded children carried forward from the last generation. May had about 300 families in his seventh generation and we now list about 450 families with surname Sears. Children of this generation number 2200 and were born between 1800-1899. The largest families have 13 children (Nos. 2121, 3181, 3496). Two of the children from this generation have no recorded offspring and are not carried forward to the next chapter but should be noted. Jacob Sears (No.4325) is known for his philanthropy and the Jacob Sears Memorial Library in E Dennis, MA and Clara Endicott Sears (No.

    2010 News Page 1 of 22 The Website of Maria Bueno, Tennis Champion MARIA ESTHER’S BIRTHDAY, Sao Paulo, 11 October 2011 Maria celebrated her birthday in some style on 11 October in Sao Paulo. She kicked off with the tennis team (pictured right) at her home club, the Sociedade Harmonia de Tênis where the chef produced three birthday cakes, which she shared with friends, members and staff, and later, she had lunch with her family (pictured left). “It was a wonderful day that I got to share with all the people who support me,” said Maria Esther. “I really appreciate all the help they give me so this is a very small way to say thank you!” TV Globo’s special on Brazil’s contribution to Formula I and stock car racing, which featured Maria Esther, was aired that night. ‘Linha de Chegada’ (or ‘The Finish Line’) was hosted by Reginaldo Leme who interviewed Maria Esther and stock car racer Max Wilson (pictured right), both of whom have had successful careers and understand the needs of training away from their respective sports in order to be able to perform fully in competition. Max Wilson said: “The physics of tennis is very much part of the sport than in racing. “I'm not a tennis player, but I try to my improve my fitness as a tennis player because motorsport requires more than just driving. So, I'll be more prepared than I need for the races.” Born in Germany, Max Wilson grew up in the neighborhood of Interlagos and has always been passionate about speed.

Sacred Turf: The Wimbledon Tennis Championships and the Changing Politics of Englishness By Stephen Wagg (Leeds Beckett University, UK) This essay is about ‘Wimbledon’, a virtually universal shorthand term for the tennis championships staged annually by the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in south west London. It looks historically and politically at the championships, treating them as a case study in invented – or, at least, consciously nurtured and carefully modulated – tradition.

They always believed in me and made all of my dreams come true. I love them with all of my heart. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are so many people I would like to thank for making the completion of my master’s degree possible. First, I would like to acknowledge my committee chair, Dr. Julie Dodd. Her endless knowledge of the sports media was invaluable to my thesis research. I have thoroughly enjoyed our long talks in her office about sports, journalism and life in general. I couldn’t have asked for a better chair to lead me to success. I would also like to thank Professor Ted Spiker for offering his wisdom of the current magazine industry. Professor Spiker was one of those teachers who sought to always make learning fun. He was my favorite professor in my undergraduate career because he put his students first, and for that I thank him. I could not have completed the data analysis portion of my thesis without the help of Dr. Leonard Tipton. He was continually ready and willing to help me. I would like to thank these three amazing committee members who guided me to achieving my goals.
