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. 410 0$aSport and society ;$v138. 410 0$aIllinois scholarship online. 606 $aTennis$xHistory 606 $aTennis players 606 $aWomen tennis players 606 $aTennis$xTournaments 615 0$aTennis$xHistory. 615 0$aTennis players. 615 0$aWomen tennis players. 615 0$aTennis$xTournaments. 676 $a796.342 700 $aRuth$b Greg$f1986-$01642617 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826611603321 996 $aTennis$93987412 997 $aUNINA
