  • Women's Tennis
    ADVANTAG E: Women’s Tennis The ITA Women’s Collegiate Tennis Hall of Fame at William and Mary Celebrates the Legends of the Game By Sara Piccini he first intercollegiate tennis championship for men was held in 1883, with Harvard University’s Joseph Clark winning the Tsingles title. Women would have to wait a few more years for their own championship — 75 more years, to be exact. The long wait can be attributed to a number of factors, including lack of funding and lack of a strong governing body for women’s collegiate sports. And many college officials actively discouraged competition, touting “the spirit of play for its own sake,” concerned that young women couldn’t handle the competitive side of athletics. But women were proving just the opposite on the tennis court. The great champion Helen Wills, for instance, who earned a Phi Beta Kappa key from the University of California at Berkeley in 1925, won 31 Grand Slam titles and two Olympic gold medals during the 1920s and ’30s. Inspired by these female champions, a pioneering group of women and men finally convinced the United States Lawn Tennis Association (now the USTA) to sponsor the first women’s intercollegiate champi - onship in 1958. Darlene Hard of Pomona College in California won the singles title. The following year, William and Mary’s own Donna Floyd Fales ’62 captured the singles title. Benefactors Betsy Nagelsen and the late Mark McCormack ’51, L.H.D. ’97 Women also had to wait a little longer for their own collegiate tennis with Hall of Fame Curator Millie West, honorary alumna.

  • 2012 USTA Northern California Tennis Hall of Fame Martha Downing
    2012 USTA Northern California Tennis Hall of Fame Martha Downing Martha Downing Senior player Martha Downing has been a teaching pro and director at tennis clubs in Sacramento for over 35 years, is a regular on the international cup teams, holds 27 Gold Balls, donates her time to charity tournaments and has been named USTA NorCal Senior Player of the Year four different times. Martha was first introduced to tennis when she was nine years old. She explains, "My family moved next to a park in Decatur, Illinois – the only park in the area that had cloth nets. My two older sisters and I could walk over and participate in the free lessons that were being offered." Martha reached a junior ranking of 15 in Girl’s 16s and 28 in Girl’s 18s, but no high school team meant that she had to find alternative opportunities to play competitively. "I mostly played on my own. I was able to travel on intersectional teams. At the time there was only one national junior tournament and luckily for me it was in Illinois," she says. Wanting warmer weather so that she could play tennis more often, Martha attended college at Stanford University in 1967. "I had never been west of Mississippi before but California had a lure to it," she says. Though different from the collegiate competitive women’s tennis programs that are available today, Martha was a prominent figure on the Stanford women’s tennis team, remaining within the top 3 throughout her time at the university. After college Martha decided to turn her passion into a career.

  • Maureen Connolly
    San Diego’s Sweetheart: Maureen Connolly Joey Seymour “I’ve got everything I want. Everything I’ve had, I got through tennis. It gave me a terribly exciting life. I met so many people in exalted positions. It opened so many doors and it’s still opening them. I’ve had a wonderful life. If I should leave tomorrow, I’ve had the experience of 20 people.”1 – Maureen Connolly Maureen Connolly was nationally recognized as a tennis star from San Diego in the 1950s. At age eleven, she was dubbed “Little Mo” by San Diego sports writer Nelson Fisher who claimed that her power forehand and backhand had the same firepower as the big guns of the USS Missouri, known as the “Big Mo.”2 The Associated Press named her Female Athlete of the Year for three consecutive years (1952, 1953, and 1954), an honor she achieved by developing a particularly aggressive style of play. After her career came to a crashing halt on July 20, 1954, when she was thrown from her horse, “Little Mo” continued to pack a great deal into her life. She frequently told people, “I’ve lived ten lives.” She was a tennis champion, newspaper reporter and author, wife, mother, restaurateur, sporting- goods spokeswoman, television and radio color commentator, philanthropist, and cancer victim, before dying at age thirty-four. The following article provides a retrospective look at the many lives of Maureen Sixteen year-old Maureen Connolly practices at a public tennis court in Connolly.

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.
