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.

  • 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.

Lake, Simon J. Eaves & Bob Nicholson Article submission for Sport History Review Abstract Anglo-American relations in tennis are a fascinating subject, particularly in the period of the late-19th/early-20th century, during which the developments seen both on and off court were reflective and indicative of broader societal shifts, as the US gradually replaced Britain as the world’s leading industrialized nation. The aims of this paper are to discuss how Anglo- American relations in lawn tennis shifted throughout this period, from when lawn tennis was “invented” in Britain to the onset of the Great War, and to contextualize these developments in the light of shifting geo-political/economic and cultural relations more generally between the two nations, alongside developments within sport and tennis more specifically. Shifts in the following areas are examined: attitudes toward and opinions of the relative standards of both American and British tennis players from the general public, correspondents and the media of the other nation, in terms of their overall rank and possibilities of success; and, attitudes from tennis officials toward the formal organization of competitions between players of both nations.
