  • Wilmer Lawson Allison Jr W5VV *1904-1977* Wilmer Born in San
    ilmer Lawson Allison Jr W5VV *1904-1977* Wilmer born in San Antonio was an American amateur tennis champion of the 1930's. With all of this, how could our subject find W time for ham radio activities? Allison’s career was somewhat overshadowed by the arrival of Don Budge, but he was both a fine singles player and along with his frequent partner, John Van Ryn, a great doubles player. Right-handed, Allison’s greatest triumph was winning the 1935 U.S. Championship singles, defeating Fred Perry in the semi- finals and Sidney Wood in the finals. He had previously lost to Perry in the fifth set in the 1934 finals. He was ranked U.S. No.1 both years and World No.4 in 1932 and 1935. At Wimbledon, Allison lost the 1930 title to Bill Tilden. As a doubles player with partner John van Ryn, Allison won the 1929 and 1930 Wimbledon and 1935 U.S. doubles championships. Allison’s last major tournament was a 1936 quarter-final loss to Bunny Austin. At the University of Texas at Austin, Allison was the Intercollegiate tennis champion in 1927. In his 1979 autobiography Jack Kramer, who had a fine volley himself, devotes a page to the best tennis strokes he had every seen. He writes: “Forehand Volley – Wilmer Allison of Texas, who won the 1935 Forest Hills, had the best I ever saw as a kid and I’ve never seen anyone since hit one better.” George Lott, who himself won 5 U.S doubles titles as well as 2 at Wimbledon, wrote an article May 1973 issue of Tennis Magazine in which he ranked the great doubles teams and the great players.

  • Tennis and World War II
    Tennis & War: World War II Overview: As students learn about conflicts throughout history, they will also learn about the tennis players/Hall of Famers who participated in these conflicts, whether on the battlefield or on the home front. The activities that accompany this unit are geared toward students in 6th-8th grade. These activities encompass review of Common Core Standards mastered at previous grade levels as well as Common Core Standards Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects and English Language Arts Writing to be mastered at the students’ current grade level. Objectives: Students will be able to- ● Form an understanding of the way these wars impacted everyday life ● Activate background knowledge regarding World War II ● Gain an understanding of the conflict and how the tennis players’ lives were impacted by the conflict Lesson Time Suggested: Two periods Don Budge In 1938, John Donald Budge became the first player in history to accomplish what had previously been considered the unattainable: he won the singles championships at Australia, France, Wimbledon, and the United States, completing the first ever Grand Slam. With those victories came a rarified place among the tennis elite. 1937 to 1938 was a spectacular chapter in Budge’s illustrious career. Notwithstanding his Grand Slam, in both 1937 and 1938 Budge won all three Wimbledon championships – singles, doubles, and mixed doubles. In 1938 he crushed the field without losing a set, the first player in history to sweep the field in such a fashion, and in the final he deposed of Britain’s Bunny Austin. Afterwards, Austin said, "Donald was unstoppable that afternoon, almost unplayable at times.

  • Tennis Book Review Locker Room Power
    Tennis Book Review Save Locker Room Power - building an athlete's mind - By David Sammel Bath, United Kingdom Reviewed by Rich Neher Applied Psychology David Sammel calls his book "essentially a collection of honed and tested methods of applied psychology" that he has collected over his sports career. He says, "Although I am not a qualified sports psychologist, my involvement in professional sport as a player and latterly as an elite coach has given me a thorough knowledge of delivering psychological support for athletes across many disciplines." He describes his book as a reference to return again and again to Strengthen your Mental Toughness Build your Locker Room Power I can understand mental toughness. Read many books about it, foremost Dr. Allen Fox's "Tennis: Winning The Mental Match" - the bible of mental tennis in my opinion. Saw many matches on the pro tour were mental toughness were the only distinguishable difference between two players. But the term "Locker Room Power" puzzled me at first. What does it mean? How am I supposed to put this in the context of tennis, mental toughness, and winning matches? Understanding Locker Room Power is a powerful driver behind the development of a tennis mind I like the little anekdotes and sayings David Sammel uses to illustrate his point that LRP can be universally applied to any sport, not only tennis, and also in most situations in life. Here are some examples: Lenny Krayzelburg, American swimmer and winner of 4 Olympic Gold medals in Sydney 2000 planted tiny seeds of doubt in his competitors' minds: He wanted to instill in his rivals the mentality that they were "racing for second place, and that when it came to major events like the Olympic games, the gold medal was already gone." Muhammad Ali said: "If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologise." Muhammad Ali also said: "The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - in the mind, behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights." Pete Sampras said: "I let my racquet do the talking.
