Lawn Tennis by H. W. Slocum Pdf

Excerpt from Lawn Tennis: In Our Own Country "But this the tennis court keeper knows better than I." - King Henry IV. When Lawn Tennis was first played in England, some years before its introduction in this country, it differed from the game of to-day mainly in the dimensions of the court and net, and the shape or construction of the implements used in playing. If we are to believe what we read, it was the crude invention of an English officer, who, in all probability, was seeking for a game which would not only satisfy the English love of manly sport, but also afford an easy medium of exercise for himself and one or two of his friends.

Lawn Tennis by H. W. Slocum Pdf

Excerpt from Lawn Tennis: In Our Own Country Any changes in Lawn Tennis, which the future may bring about, will probably be changes in the game itself and not in the court, upon which, or the implements with which, the game is played. There is every reason to believe that a court of 78 feet in length and 27 feet in width, and a net 3 feet high, present the best combination possible to induce Speedy play and accurate placing. The first of the -laws of Lawn Tennis, as adopted by the United States National Lawn Tennis Association, specifies the dimensions of the court and height of the net as follows.

Historical Dictionary of Tennis by John Grasso Pdf

The sport of tennis has been played in one form or another for more than 800 years. It can trace its roots to games played by monks in the 12th century. Through the years the game has evolved from one in which the ball was struck with the hands to the modern game in which rackets are used to propel the ball in excess of 150 miles per hour. From the sport of the elite to the sport played by elite athletes, tennis has grown immensely in the past 135 years and it remains one of the few sporting pastimes thatis played extensively by people of all ages and all nationalities. The Historical Dictionary of Tennis presents a comprehensive history of the game through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, photos, and over 500 cross-referenceddictionary entries on places, teams, terminology, and people, including Arthur Ashe, Björn Borg, Don Budge, Chris Evert, Roger Federer, Billie Jean King, Rod Laver, Suzanne Lenglen, John McEnroe, Rafael Nadal, Martina Navratilova, and Bill Tilden. Appendixes of the members of the International Tennis Hall of Fame, the Major Championships of Tennis, and the Olympic games are included. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about tennis.

A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again by David Foster Wallace Pdf

These widely acclaimed essays from the author of Infinite Jest -- on television, tennis, cruise ships, and more -- established David Foster Wallace as one of the preeminent essayists of his generation. In this exuberantly praised book -- a collection of seven pieces on subjects ranging from television to tennis, from the Illinois State Fair to the films of David Lynch, from postmodern literary theory to the supposed fun of traveling aboard a Caribbean luxury cruiseliner -- David Foster Wallace brings to nonfiction the same curiosity, hilarity, and exhilarating verbal facility that has delighted readers of his fiction, including the bestselling Infinite Jest.

The Tennis Player : A Dream Unfulfilled by Dr. Arabinda Dutta Pdf

About the Book: The whole universe is full of wonders filled with innumerable unexplained facts and truths. The present book is about an enthusiastic young man with handsome looks, the son of a high court senior judge who wanted to be in the world's top position in the field of Lawn Tennis. He was a right fit for the sport and proceeded forward on the path he had decided, filled with enthusiasm. But his aim was disturbed and diverted by a few members of his family. He lived in a joint family comprising of five brothers, two sisters and also the family of his two uncles. While being a research student at the university, he also gained skills in Lawn Tennis game. Unfortunately, he was mildly dragged in the world of open sex games by his two sisters. Slowly, he fell off the grid and felt disgusted. He could not rebuke his lovely sisters as he loved them too much. One day, he decides to get rid of this undesirable and unwanted feeling by taking his life; he chooses to ingest KCN, a deadly poisonous chemical. This is the tragic story of a rising tennis star who committed suicide. About the Author: The author, Arabinda Dutta hails from a middle-class family. His father was a medium-rank serviceman in Ordnance Factory, Katni. He spent his childhood in Katni; and after passing matriculation, Arabinda joined Government Science College where he graduated in Chemistry with a Masters degree in the merit category. Immediately after, he pursued research with a scholarship at CSIR and proceeded to get a Doctorate after three years. After that, he was lucky enough to get a scholarship to Princeton State University, USA. However, Arabinda's father insisted that he marries before going to the USA to which the author did not agree, thereby sabotaging his future at Princeton. Later, Arabinda joined Bihar Alloys Steel Limited and retired from there as Head of the Quality Control Department. Presently, he keeps himself engaged by writing books and sharing his knowledge. Arabinda, like the protagonist of the story, is a simple boy with average looks but very passionate about Lawn Tennis and Football. He also could not flourish in his sports interests as he remained focused on his research career.

Routledge Handbook of Tennis by Robert J. Lake Pdf

Tennis is one of the world’s most popular sports, as levels of participation and spectatorship demonstrate. Moreover, tennis has always been one of the world’s most significant sports, expressing crucial fractures of social class, gender, sexuality, race and ethnicity - both on and off court. This is the first book to undertake a survey of the historical and socio-cultural sweep of tennis, exploring key themes from governance, development and social inclusion to national identity and the role of the media. It is presented in three parts: historical developments; culture and representations; and politics and social issues, and features contributions by leading tennis scholars from North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. The most authoritative book published to date on the history, culture and politics of tennis, this is an essential reference for any course or program examining the history, sociology, politics or culture of sport.
