## Summary

Tennis grew up in monasteries and royal courts; it has never quite shed the manners. Wimbledon's all-white dress code, Roland Garros's red clay, the curtsies and titles and "quiet please" — the sport carries its history more visibly than any of the others in this volume. Key sections include: Tennis.; Opening The most aristocratic of the major sports.; Chapter I Jeu de paume to lawn.; Chapter II The first championship.; Chapter III Four tournaments.; Chapter IV "Big Bill" Tilden.; Chapter V Suzanne Lenglen.; Chapter VI The first Grand Slam.; Chapter VII Amateurs and professionals reunite.; Chapter VIII Two Grand Slams..
