Mitch Franseth & Walt Byers Co-Presidents, BVRC “An otherwise happy couple may turn a mixed doubles game into a scene from Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf.” –Rod Laver Bay View Racquet Club Newsletter Winter/Spring 2019 Wake Up To Water Street Hello Bay View Tennis Players. Summer is just around the corner and morning tennis will be right behind it. Early morning tennis in the Woods on Water Street will continue through the 2019 season. Women and men of all ages are urged to join us at the beginning of the day when you can get in a lot of competitive fun tennis. During the regular eight-week recreation season (June 17 to August 9) we meet at the ideal time of 8:00am on Monday through Friday and at 9:00am on Saturday. Prior to and after the regular season, the start time fluctuates according to the wishes of those who are in attendance. We will be glad to explain our "sign-up procedure" if you stop by the Water Street Courts or if you call Jeff Bennett at 231-347-2466. FYI: Our annual tournament will be celebrating its 30th year of fierce competition the sixth week of Boy's and Girl's Club with play beginning on Monday, the week of July 22nd-26th, 2019. Remember to jot those dates on your summer calendar. We look forward to another year of tennis in Bay View. - Jeff Bennett A Message About… Though weather setbacks delayed our progress in developing Woods Courts 3 and 4 for pickle ball last summer, the project was finally completed. Those of you who were here at the very end of the season may have even gotten the chance to play on them. These courts were modified with blue-gray pickle ball lines on each side of the net allowing for four pickle ball courts to be available for play. The red back court and side of court areas of these courts were painted green to eliminate contrast and allow the pickle ball lines to extend outside the area of the tennis courts to minimize distraction. In addition, temporary pickleball nets on wheels were purchased, allowing for easy setup, depending on the needs of the court users. This will be the first season where we will actually see how well they work as multi-use courts, so we welcome feedback. We also encourage people, beginners and advanced players alike, to take advantage of these updated facilities and experience pickle ball. If you are interested in playing or learning the game, contact Dick Crossland. 2 Bay View Racquet Club Newsletter Winter/Spring 2019 Adult Tennis – Game, Set, Match!

  • Grand Slams’ Are Iconic Global Sports Competitions And, As Proven by the 2017 Australian Open, Capable of Drawing Blockbuster Audiences
    The four tennis ‘grand slams’ are iconic global sports competitions and, as proven by the 2017 Australian Open, capable of drawing blockbuster audiences. Roger Federer’s victory over Rafael Nadal brought Eurosport its largest-ever audience for a tennis match with 20.7 million viewers across Europe, while in the host country, the 3.6-million (4.4-million peak) figure was the highest audience for the final in over a decade. The prestige and image attached to grand slam tennis is not lost on the sport’s broadcast partners. For domestic broadcasters this has led to a continuous fee increase for the quartet of slams. Using Sportcal’s Revenue Dashboard – available to subscribers of the Media Intelligence Centre – to analyse the domestic revenue generated, Sportcal Insight examines how the grand slams have enhanced their domestic rights revenues. Currency conversions, where possible, have been done at the time of the deal and modelled data has been used for incremental rises during a rights agreement. All grand slams have long-running domestic deals with established broadcasters. This, it can be argued, limits competition and the potential for mushrooming revenues, resulting in a more modest rise than might otherwise be the case. In Australia, free-to-air network Seven’s most recent deal with Tennis Australia is under investigation by the country’s corporate watchdog because a competitive bidding process wasn’t launched, amid claims that the governing body could have raised an extra A$50 million ($45 million) had the rights been taken to the open market. The 2017 women’s Australian Open final attracted 360,000 more viewers than the final of T20 cricket’s Big Bash League (aired on another free-to-air broadcaster, Network Ten, at the same time).

  • Undies and Arthur Marshall
    The All-Rounder: a memoir of Fremantle sportsman Arthur Marshall by Roger Underwood The champion sportsman who excels in several sporting disciplines is a well-known phenomenon. Don Bradman, for example, was also the South Australian squash champion and a scratch golfer; Test fast bowler Ray Lindwall also played first grade rugby league in NSW and was a top sprinter. Western Australians who were multi-disciplinary champions include Keith Slater, who played Test cricket and football, cricket and baseball for WA, Derek Chadwick who played football and cricket with distinction for WA, and Rick Charlesworth, an Olympic hockey player and also a State cricketer. Fremantle all-rounders of note include John Baguley, who was an Olympic long and triple-jumper, played rugby for WA and league football for East Fremantle, and Merv Cowan who was captain of the Fremantle A Grade cricket team and the East Fremantle League football team, a State water polo player and State breaststroke swimming champion. The phenomenon is easily understood. Champion sportsmen share key physical and mental attributes: they are naturally athletic, they have exceptional hand-eye coordination and lightning reflexes, are highly competitive, and they have that special inner strength known as “the will to win”. This is best demonstrated in the champion who ‘wins ugly’ – sporting lingo for the ability to dig deep and find a way to win even when injured or having an off-day. The champion who performs at the elite level in several disciplines is rarer today than in earlier eras. Modern sporting champions tend to specialise. They choose to become a full-time AFL footballer, a Test cricketer, or a swimmer or golfer, and they do this while still a teenager.
