  • 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.

  • The Continental Grip – Swiss Army Knife of Tennis
    Continental Grip – the Swiss Army knife of tennis This is the most universally used grip in tennis. In fact, Continental means all-around grip. It was once known as the Aussie grip because famous Australian players such as Rod Laver and Ken Rosewall employed this grip for all of their shots—groundstrokes, volleys, serves, & overheads. The continental grip is most notably used for the serve, overhead, and volley. Because of its extreme versatility, this grip is also used to execute the half-volley, chip, slice, lob, and defensive shots. Players, who become comfortable early in their development with the continental grip, develop and progress much more rapidly. Learning to play with the continental grip will give you the enormous advantage of never having to think about changing your grip when you are up at net, especially during a rapid-fire volley exchange (seen often in doubles). However, for many players, the Continental grip is too uncomfortable, because it does not place the hand and wrist squarely behind the impact with the ball, especially on the forehand side. The awkwardness is because most players are not taught to use this grip early in their development. I teach the continental grip first to my beginning students because it can be and is used on a variety of shots. In my experience, most beginners feel more comfortable using an eastern forehand grip (EFG) on the forehand volley, and an eastern backhand grip (EBG) for the backhand volley. The EFG puts more of the palm of your hand behind the racquet, and players falsely think it makes the wrist stronger at contact.

  • My Tennis Journey
    Legends Series: Randall King – My Tennis Journey Randall King never set his sights explicitly on professional tennis. A four-time US Chinese National champion, his journey began from his hometown of Portland, Oregon, before he ventured throughout the Pacific Northwest, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, globetrotting on tour, then Taiwan, and ultimately landed in Hong Kong, a place where he has called home since joining Citibank here in 1980. His game found a new lease of life and immediately became an ever-present force on the local tennis scene, winning seven singles and nine doubles titles in local majors during a 6- year span. He made his presence felt immediately the first time he played Davis Cup for Hong Kong, when he helped steer a young local contingent, whose starters were barely out of high school, to its maiden victory in 1984. This is his story. Born on April 2, 1950, King grew up at a time when the undercurrent of the Chinese Exclusion Act was still prevalent in the States. It was a federal law passed in 1882 that prohibited the immigration of Chinese laborers in the aftermath of the great influx caused by the Gold Rush. It was then subsequently extended several times before it was finally repealed in 1943. Although he did not experience this manner of push-back on a personal level, his early tennis years did not begin at the swanky country clubs, but instead at the public park tennis courts where he was a tag-along with his father to his regular get-togethers and he started to play the game against kids brought by other parents.

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.

Error! Bookmark not defined. Bibliography .......................................................................................... 8 Introduction Ken Rosewall is a former top ranking tennis player from Australia. He won a record of 23 tennis majors, including 8 grand slam singles titles and before the open era, which is when professional tennis players could play with amateur players, he won a total of 15 Pro Slam titles and a record of 35 major finals overall. Ken is considered one of the greatest tennis players of all times. His backhand was astonishing as many of the tennis players found the backhand harder to master. He also enjoyed a long career from the early 1950’s to the early 1970’s. Rosewall was one of the 2 best male tennis players for 9 years and was the world number 1 for a numerous years in the early 1960’s. Early Life Ken Rosewall also known as Kenneth Robert Rosewall was born on the 2nd November 1934 in Hurstville, Sydney. His father was a grocer at Penshurst, Sydney but then they moved to Rockdale, where his father bought three clay tennis courts. Ken started playing at the age of three years old when he had a shortened racquet and used both hands for his forehand and backhand shots as he was not capable enough at the age of three. They practiced early in the morning, doing the same move over and over again.
