  • How the Court Surface Is Affecting the Serve-And-Volley Tristan Barnett
    How the court surface is affecting the serve-and-volley Tristan Barnett Strategic Games www.strategicgames.com.au 1. Introduction The modern version of the game (official name of Lawn Tennis) as we recognize it today was designed and patented by Major Walter Clopton Wingfield in 1873. Two years later in 1875, the official rules of the game were drawn up by Marylebone Cricket Club, and two years later in 1877, Wimbledon began on a grass surface as the first official championships. All four grand slam events have been played on a grass surface. Wimbledon is the only grand slam event played on a grass court today and has always been played on a grass court surface. The French Open began in 1891 on a grass surface and remained on grass until 1928 when the surface was changed to clay. The US Open began in 1881 on a grass surface; until it was changed to clay from 1975-1977 and from 1978 has been played on a hard court surface. Finally, the Australian Open began in 1905 on a grass surface and remained on grass until 1988 when the surface was changed to a hard court. There has been a change in the proportion of tournaments played on different court surfaces from 1877 to 2010. Firstly, for the first 14 years of the game, all tournaments (grand slam and non grand slam) were played on grass. Secondly, for the first 101 years of the game all tournaments were played on the natural surfaces of grass and clay. Thirdly, according to the ITF, until the early 1970’s, the majority of tournaments were played on grass including three out of the four grand slams.

Design Option Presented by Michael David Ross Texas Tech University Spring 1978 1, INTRODUCTION 2, THE CLIENT 3, FINANCING 4, THE SITE 11 S> FACILITIES 24 ^, RESTRICTIONS 40 7, APPENDIX 54 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION THE NATURE AND SCOPE OF THE PROJECT The nature of this thesis program is the development of the most precise and complete collection of data concerning my topic, A Racquet Club for Lubbock, Texas. Some of the questions this program will answer are: What is a Racquet Club? Who this Racquet Club is for? Where is this Racquet Club located? What goes on in this club? The elements composing the physical make-up of the facility are: 1. Clubhouse A) offices B) lounge and dining C) pro-shop D) lockers and dressing facilities E) indoor tennis and racquet ball courts 2. Outdoor tennis courts This facility not only will enhance the city of Lubbock but also provide its members a com­ plex that enables them to play the game as it should be played and to savor the deepest pleas­ ure the game has to offer. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT The name and the game came from the ancient net and racquet sport known in France where it was invented, as Jeu de Paume. This sport had its origins in the Middle Ages. It is mentioned in twelfth and thirteenth century manuscripts. In the sixteenth century the game was known to be exclusively an aristo­ cratic game because of the high cost of building courts.

  • The Real Sport of Kings When Our Family Moved from Notting Hill Gate
    The Real Sport of Kings When our family moved from Notting Hill Gate to larger quarters on Brook Green I realized it was a ten-minute bike ride to The Queen’s Club. A mecca of lawn tennis, with grass courts, Queen’s was known for the Invitational that preceded Wimbledon. As a youth, spurred by my father whose passion was tennis, I played a lot, at times as many as eight hours a day. The game was so bound with Southampton’s lifestyle that even the houses, with their white- painted frames and green shutters, could seem a reverse echo of the grass courts on which we played. It is hard to imagine a Long Island village where we played only three months a year competing with Florida and California, but the town boasted a Wimbledon winner and several national champions. The two grandsons of Dwight Davis who had given the eponymous cup were daily opponents, and the Meadow Club Invitational (now the U.S. Amateur Championship) reigned as the longest continuing tournament on the grass court circuit. This tournament, which brought the great “bums,” as they were known, roaring in on their jalopies was the social high point of the Southampton summer, crowned by a dance and massive silver trophies that begged to be melted down. We put them up in our houses and the money I made ball-boying more than paid for all the presents I bought my parents. For much of my youth I aspired to that kind of athletic career. I wanted to travel to fabled venues: Wimbledon, Rome, Monte Carlo, Paris, Rapallo, Gstaad.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/paah.37 RESEARCH The Plantar Pressure Analysis of Open Stance Forehand in Female Tennis Players Chaoyi Chen, Zhiqiang Liang and Shudong Li Faculty of Sports Science, Ningbo University, CN Corresponding author: Chaoyi Chen ([email protected]) Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze plantar pressure during the open stance forehand (OSF) in female tennis players. Methods: Seven female players executed the tennis forehand technique with open stance in the biomechanical laboratory. A portable pressure insole system was adopted to collect mean pressure (MP), peak pressure (PP), force (F), pressure-time integral (PTI) and contact area (CA) in 7 regions of the feet. Independent sample T-test was used to analyze the difference among these parameters. Results: F, PP in the first phalangeal region (BT) and the remaining four toe regions (OT) of the right foot (RF) were both larger than the left foot (LF); F in the fourth and fifth metatarsophalangeal joint (M4-5), the middle foot region (MF), hind foot region（HF）and PP in M4-5 of LF were significantly greater than the same region in RF; MP in BT and OT of RF showed significantly higher pressure than LF. While MP among areas of M4-5 and HF of LF was significantly greater than RF; PTI, CA in OT, M4-5 and MF of RF were significantly higher than LF while M1, M2-3, M4-5 and MF of LF showed significant smaller.

    Artificial Surfaces for Recreation Bulletin Number 37 A report of the proceedings of a Block Course held at Lincoln College, Canterbury, May 11-1 4 1 981. The course was designed to study and evaluate the range of artificial surfacing material·currently available for indoor and outdoor recreational facilities. Edited by J. O. Taylor I~I Sponsored by The N.Z. Institute of Park and Recreation Administration (Inc) GRJ.~I in association with .-.. • The Department of Horticulture, Landscape and Parks, ~I' Lincoln College, Canterbury. January 1982. FOREWORD In opening the Block Course on Artificial Surfaces for Recreation, Mr Lance Cross, C.B.E., Chairman, New Zealand Council for Recreation and Sport, quoted from a U.N.E.S.C.O. Survey that over the next 25 years the major problem facing the world as a whole, will be the effective use of leisure time. He went on to develop the theme that maximum use must be made of facilities already existing before expensive new recreation and sports arenas were developed. On a population basis, New Zealand needs only four standard Olympic pools, but many lido-type pools are still required. Local Authorities are faced with ever rising costs for the provision and maintenance of play grounds, sports grounds and recreational facilities, but the trick of how to reduce these costs, let alone maintain costs, eludes most experts today. The aim of the Block Course was to study the range of methods and materials available for the construction of artificial surfaces used in recreation and to come up with some positive ideas on what can best be used inside and outside to provide more effectively for the requirements of our recreating communities.

  • Facts and Statistics Indicate Fixing at the Very Top of Men's Tennis
    Facts and statistics indicate fixing at the very top of men’s tennis by Katarina Pijetlovic, LL.B, LL.M, LL.Lic. LL.D cand. [email protected] EU and sports law academic Facts and statistics strongly indicate that draws at the Grand Slam tournaments 2008-2011 might have been fixed at the very top of men's tennis. Namely, in 12 out of 12 Grand Slam tournaments played on hard and grass courts between 2008-2011, Federer and Djokovic were always drawn to the same half of the draw, while Nadal and Murray were drawn to the other half. In addition, in five of those 12 tournaments Murray was not among the first four seeded players, so his draw was conducted separately five times. Thus, the statistics are as follows: to get the same result 12 out of 12 times, probability is 1 in 4096. For the case of Murray's separate draws which produced the same result 5 out of 5 times, it is 1 in 32. THEREFORE, THE PROBABILITY TO OBTAIN DRAW RESULTS AS OBTAINED AT THE 12 GRAND SLAM TOURNAMENTS IS 131072 TO 1 (4096 x 32 = 131072). Combined with the study conducted by ESPN on the draws of unseeded players at US Open it reaches 1 in many BILLIONS. FACEBOOK PAGE ON THIS ISSUE WITH MORE DETAILS AVAILABLE AT http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tennis‐ biggest‐public‐secret/284730451547505?sk=wall DRAWING PROCEDURE In general, at the Grand Slam tournaments players are entered in the draw sheet based on their current standing on the ATP rank list.
