In 1874, the custom inspectors at the port of New York were confounded by some odd-looking paraphernalia a young society girl, Miss Mary Ewing Outerbridge, had brought with her from Bermuda. Finally, the officials accepted the explanation of their harmlessness - and Lawn Tennis was launched on its triumphant course. Since the birth of the United states Lawn Tennis Association in the exclusive setting of the Newport Casino in 1881, tennis has become one of America's most popular sports, and the country has produced a host of great players whom you, the reader, will meet.
