Merging wide-angle history with individual stories of players and off-the-court figures, Greg Ruth charts tennis's evolution into the game we watch today. His vivid account moves from the cloistered world of nineteenth-century lawn tennis through the longtime amateur-professional divide and the battles over commercialization that raged from the 1920s until 1968. From there, Ruth details the post-1968 expansion of the game as it was transformed by bankable superstars, a popular women's tour, rival governing bodies, and sponsorship money.Sport and society ;138.Illinois scholarship online.TennisHistoryTennis playersWomen tennis playersTennisTournamentsTennisHistory.Tennis players.Women tennis players.TennisTournaments.796.342Ruth Greg1986-1560247StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910795629903321Tennis3826084UNINA02802nam 2200601 450 991078897760332120230422032505.03-11-081265-710.1515/9783110812657(CKB)3390000000033245(EBL)3044704(OCoLC)922947775(SSID)ssj0001099093(PQKBManifestationID)11644803(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001099093(PQKBWorkID)11046935(PQKB)11239877(MiAaPQ)EBC3044704(DE-B1597)41117(OCoLC)979906796(DE-B1597)9783110812657(Au-PeEL)EBL3044704(CaPaEBR)ebr10789738(CaONFJC)MIL558774(EXLCZ)99339000000003324520010320d2000 uy 0engur|nu---|u||utxtccrHistory and literature of early Christianity /Helmut KoesterSecond edition.New York :Walter de Gruyter,2000.1 online resource (416 p.)Introduction to the New Testament / [Helmut Koester] ;v. 2Description based upon print version of record.3-11-014970-2 3-11-014971-0 Includes bibliographical references and index.Front matter --Contents --Illustrations --Preface to the Second Edition --Preface to the First Edition --Acknowledgments --Abbreviations: Serial and Journal Titles --Short Titles of Works Often Cited --Volume Two.
