Dan, at least I'm convinced that both of us do know a bit about tennis history.

If only we could PLAY worthy of our knowledge!

To be honest I think the both of you have a great deal of tennis knowledge, far more than most. And as you know Dan I may not agree with you but I believe you have a great deal of knowledge of the game. I wouldn't write that about everyone.

Bobby, you wouldn't want someone with a genuine belief to pretend otherwise. That's what free speech is all about.

Arthur Ashe and Stan Smith both served in the army.

I thought Jack Kramer wasn't an actual guy just a type of wood racquet with a cool and manly name.

That's true.

JK Autograph was cool and elegant. JK Pro Staff was more robust and manly.

Kramer much a ton of money with those racquets. I believe he gave up a half of percentage point on the sale of each racquet as opposed to players like Budge. So the racquet company pushed the Kramer racquet because they made more money on that racquet. It definitely was a lot better than the Rod Laver Chemold racquet.
