Old Tennis magazine study of Roscoe Tanner

[gzhpcu]

I misplaced an artcle I had in Gladys Hellman’s World Tennis magazine on Roscoe Tanner’s serve. It had a great photo sequence (about 18 photos) of his serve, taken from the front. Anybody remember the issue? Anybody have it? If so, could you post the photos? Thanks

Forgot to mention, the issue came out in the 1970’s...

If I was trying to track it down I would contact the current owner and if they don’t have it then perhaps someone like Steve Flink who was a writer and editor there at the time.

Good luck. I’m curious to see how determined you are to find it.

Googling, I saw it on sale on **** here: https://www.****.com/itm/Vintage-Wo...addtnl-issues-CHECK-DESCRIPTION-/141847967925

Only problem, they do not ship to Switzerland! But at least I know it is the april 1977 issue. Will find a seller who ships to Switzerland sooner or later...

I forgot about the world’s junk store as the first place to look. Looks like seller ships everwhere but Switzerland. Do you guys not pay and hide behind some banking secrecy law.

Am fascinated by Tanner's serve

He probably got ripped off somewhere when visiting Switzerland.

Must be a conspiracy. I found this site, which seems to have it: http://tennisconfidential.com/collect.htm
When I try to email Paul Fein to order it, it aborts!

Asked a friend in New York. Ordered it specifying her address and she will send it to me. When I get it, if I find the photo sequence, will post it her.

I just got the magazine, but it is not the one with the photo sequence of Tanner’s serve! Search continues...

Tried contacting Steve Flink..

Over a week and Steve Flink has not replied. Is there nobody out there who is familiar with the World Tennis issue with Roscoe Tanner?

 

[Tshooter]

IYou don’t know the isssue date, correct ?

What was the issue date you received that we can rule out.

April 1977 with Tanner on the cover.

I wonder if anyone remembers it. It was a full page with a sequence of high speed photos of Tanner serving, seen from the front.
