  • Roger Federer on Suc...T the French Open
    ON TENNIS Steady as He Goes: Roger Federer on Success, Staying Power and 20 Years at the French Open By Christopher Clarey May 24, 2019 CHUR, Switzerland — Roger Federer had just finished his soup and was dubious. “Come on!” he said. “Nobody else left?” No, not a soul. Of the 128 players who took part in the 1999 French Open singles tournament, Federer is the last one still playing singles on tour. That French Open was Federer’s first Grand Slam event. He was 17 years old, wore a ball cap backward on court and still had difficulty keeping his temper in check. Even though he was Swiss, not French, and had lost in the first round of the junior event the year before, the French tournament officials had decided, after considerable debate, to give him a precious wild card into the main draw based on his clear potential. His opponent on May 25, 1999, was Patrick Rafter, the net‑rushing Australian then ranked No. 3 in the world. Though Federer did come out swinging and win the first set, he struggled to win games after that, losing, 5‑7, 6‑3, 6‑0, 6‑2, in the sunshine on Court Suzanne Lenglen. “After the first set, he got the hang of how I play and he, like, sliced and diced me,” Federer said in an interview last month. Roger Federer during his debut at the French Open in 1999, when he lost to Patrick Rafter as a 17‑year‑old wild card. Clive Brunskill/Allsport I was one of about 10,000 in attendance that afternoon 20 years ago, and though many of the courts used in 1999 at the French Open no longer exist, Lenglen still stands.

  • The Language of Sport
    The Language of Sport BARRY SPURR* In Memoriam Bernard Kilgour Martin The language of sport, broadly defined, is the linguistic representation of sporting activity-that is, physical exertion in the contexts of identifiable games with procedures and rules, and of competition. It has an ancient history. One of the great lyric poets of antiquity, the fifth-century Boeotian, Pindar, celebrated stupendous feats both in battle and in sporting competition, in horse and chariot races, in his odes. Victory, for him, had moral and religious connotations, entailing praise of the gods. Maurice Bowra writes that Pindar often had some difficulty elevating the victor's character and achievements to this pious domain. 1 In English literature, there are numerous examples of the celebration of extraordinary physical feats. In Christopher Marlowe's Hero and Leander, Hero, separated from his beloved by the Hellespont, prays that it will 'part in twain, that he might come and go' to her: But still the rising billows answered 'No" With that he stripped him to the ivory skin And crying, 'Love, I come' leapt lively in. (11.152-54 ) Milton's Satan in Paradise Lost, in parody of the epic feats of Homeric and Virgiiiall iiterature, journeys from Hell to this world, with strenuous physicality: so eagerly the fiend O'er bog or steep, through strait, rough, dense, or rare, * Dr Barry Spurr is a senior lecturer in English at the University ofSydlley.

  • 2004 PGA TOUR Media Guide / 1-1 Table of Contents
    A Message to the Media n behalf of the players and staff, welcome to the 2004 PGA TOUR season. We appreciate your continued interest in our sport, and we clearly recognize the extent to which our success is tied to the thorough and professional coverage we receive from a Owide variety of global media outlets. As the PGA TOUR begins another great season, we can truly state that the image and competitive spirit of our players has led to the healthiest state in the history of our organization. The Sports Business Journal recently reaffirmed this when it published the “2003 League Report Card,” a survey of corporate sponsors’ opinions of their investment in sports properties. The PGA TOUR ranked first in overall satisfaction among the 16 major sports. This is important as we continue to raise the exposure of our tournaments, provide significant value to our sponsors and showcase the widespread excellence of our athletes. The competition level on the PGA TOUR in 2003 was at an all-time high, with season-ending honors going down to the wire. Tiger Woods recorded a season-high five victories and the lowest stroke average on TOUR and garnered a fifth consecutive Player of the Year honor. Vijay Singh won four times and captured his first money title. Davis Love III won a career-high four times, includ- ing THE PLAYERS Championship, making 2003 the first time in 30 years where three players won four or more times in a season. However, the depth of the TOUR was never more evident. Eleven players age 40 or older combined to capture 15 PGA TOUR titles.

    TENNIS PACKET # 3 INSTRUCTIONS This Learning Packet has two parts: (1) text to read and (2) questions to answer. The text describes a particular sport or physical activity, and relates its history, rules, playing techniques, scoring, notes and news. The Response Forms (questions and puzzles) check your understanding and appreciation of the sport or physical activity. INTRODUCTION Tennis is among the most popular sports in the United States. It is played by amateurs and professionals, children and adults, women and men. It can be played for sheer enjoyment or in fiercely competitive tournaments, such as the famous Davis Cup, Wightman Cup and the Wimbledon tournament. Like badminton, it requires agility, speed and almost continuous motion on the part of the player. It is often recommended as a good means of aerobic exercise. HISTORY OF TENNIS The game that we know as “tennis” today (officially known as “lawn tennis”) was created by a British citizen, Major Walter C. Wingfield, who introduced the game to Britain in 1873. The following year saw the introduction of the already-popular game to America. However, the real history of tennis apparently goes back far beyond Major Wingfield’s day. A version of tennis was played in ancient Greece and in France in the 1400s. The first tennis tournament was played at Wimbledon in England in 1877. While Wimble- don is still considered the most famous and prestigious tennis tournament in the world, the Davis Cup and Wightman Cup tournaments are also important annual events.
