Willie defends Wimbledon title, retains #1, 2 YE #1, 77 weeks at #1 1883- Willie vacates Irish title, Ernie wins it. Lawford won London Athletic Club and Prince's Club, Wilberforce wins Manchester. Ernie Renshaw had to play Lawford first round which is a joke but Ernie won it in 5. Horrible seeding. After that match, Ernie marches to the finals where once again he loses to William Renshaw, 5 sets again. Ernie may be the best of the rest, but Willie is still the best. 53 weeks at #1 due to there being 53 Monday's in 1883. 130 weeks at #1, 3 YE #1 1884- Lawford, who invented the topspin forehand by the way, beat the US champ Sears at the Irish and Ernie in the finals, both in straights. Lawford wins London Athletic Club as well, and looks poised to challenge Willie Renshaw for the Wimbledon title and #1 crown. Lawford had to play Wilberforce first round so this is 2 years in a row they give Lawford a top contender first round, do they have beef with him? Lawford wins in straights, Ernie loses SF, and Lawford plays Willie in the finals. But Renshaw holds firm and takes his title once more, in straights and with a bagel in the first, wow.

  • MINORITY TENNIS – a HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE by Bob Davis PART I the BEGINNING
    SYMBOLS OF CHANGE MINORITY TENNIS – A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE By Bob Davis PART I THE BEGINNING Slavery was abolished in the United States in 1865. Nearly 15 years later, in 1880, the United States Lawn Tennis Association (USLTA) was founded (The name was later changed to USTA). Tennis was the dominion of the white, upper class and Blacks were neither interested, nor invited to participate. Segregation was rampant throughout America and an attitude of exclusion was pervasive in most areas of American society. Blacks began to surface on tennis courts in about 1890 at Tuskegee Institute. Booker T. Washington, one of America’s great, black visionaries and leaders, founded Tuskegee. In his famous Atlanta Address of 1895, Booker T. Washington set forth the motivating spirit behind Tuskegee Institute. In a post Reconstruction era marked by growing segregation and disfranchisement of blacks, this spirit was based on what realistically might be achieved in that time and place. "The opportunity to earn a dollar in a factory just now," he observed, "is worth infinitely more than the opportunity to spend a dollar in an opera house." Because of Washington's extraordinary ability to work within the system and to maximize the possible, Tuskegee flourished to the extent only dreamed about when he met his first students on July 4, 1881. By 1898, Blacks began to have inter-club matches with rival black clubs in New York, Philadelphia and a variety of other eastern seaboard cities. These inter-club rivalries were primarily networking opportunities; occasions for the black, college-graduated elite to commune with their colleagues from other cities.

  • North American Geography Lesson 4: Jack Kramer Unit Overview: As
    North American Geography Lesson 4: Jack Kramer Unit Overview: As students work through the activities in this unit they will be introduced to the United States in general, different regions of the United States, map symbols, Hall of Famer Jack Kramer, and his Barnstorming Tour of the 1950s. They will explore, through varied learning experiences, the significance of Kramer’s tour to the game of tennis while learning about different parts of the country. The activities that accompany this unit are geared towards the students’ multiple intelligences and will provide academic challenges at multiple levels of cognitive complexity while satisfying the goal of working towards mastery of grade appropriate common core standards of Literacy, Geography, and Mathematics. Objectives: Students will be able to- • Gain background knowledge through vocabulary activities and comprehension activities (such as guided questioning and using appropriate graphic organizers) the geography of the United States and its regions, along with what it was like in the 1950s. • Form an understanding of the contribution that Jack Kramer made to the sport of tennis. • Demonstrate what they have learned about the geography of the United States, map skills, Jack Kramer and his significance to the game of tennis, and his place in history by successfully completing guided questioning activities, group organizers, and by taking part in meaningful classroom discussions. Common Core Standards: CCSS.ELA – Literacy RI 4.3 - Explain events, procedures, ideas, or concepts in a historical, scientific, or technical text, including what happened and why, based on specific information in the text. CCSS.ELA – Literacy RI 4.7 - Interpret information presented visually, orally, or quantitatively (e.g., in charts, graphs, diagrams, time lines, animations, or interactive elements on Web pages) and explain how the information contributes to an understanding of the text in which it appears.
