History of Tennis - Traditional Sport
Tennis has a long history of tradition. However, there are two main events that seemed to set the sport apart from any other in the hearts and minds of those who enjoy watching and playing it.
One was the invention of vulcanized rubber real tennis allowed to take the initiative to lawn tennis - a sport popular gentleman of the 18th century.
The other was the match between the female tennis star Billie Jean King and male counterpart, Bobby Riggs. His victory over Riggs gave wonderful female tennis stars the respect he had sought.
Vulcanized rubber:
Until vulcanized rubber allowed tennis balls was done in the 1850s for the outdoor game we enjoy today, most tennis matches enjoyed in tracks covered. Much of today's racquetball, "real tennis" as it was known using the angled walls of a real tennis court to strike strategically and return the ball to their opponents.
Tennis as we know it today was first called "lawn tennis" and debuted in the upper classes in mid-1800, as a way of courting couples to enjoy a real sport without distressing the ladies.
After Charles Goodyear, of Goodyear tire fame, invented vulcanized rubber, rubber tennis balls were introduced in play instead of the wads of wool, hair, wool or cork wrapped in cloth or leather and rope he had used previously.
Since those did not require rubber balls bounce off a wall, the game was rushed out where people could enjoy fresh air and sunshine. The new rules quickly introduced to compensate for changes in speed and style of play in these new grass courts.
Walter Clopton Wingfield is considered the father of tennis modern, or tennis, having patented the game in 1874 with the Patent Office Office, although many claim that others can actually introduced the game to the masses, Wingfield taking formal credit.
It was not long for tennis to become a popular success. Tennis clubs soon opened, followed by the championships tennis for the first time in 1877 at Wimbledon
Billie Jean King against Bobby Riggs:
When Billie Jean King defeated Bobby Riggs in 1973 tennis for women changed forever! It is true that women have been playing for years, and make money on it, but to upset the King over Riggs, women could do about earnings financial men in the field. With her victory came a newfound respect for female players - and handsome playing prizes. Most women today credit Rey players have paved the way for his own success.
The game of tennis may have changed since its introduction in the 1800s, but still remains a favorite pastime of young and old alike.
