The History of Tennis

By Linda Tancs

The International Tennis Hall of Fame preserves and promotes the history of tennis and celebrates its champions. The museum displays over 2,000 items from its vast collection, including items associated with each hall of famer. The facility also features The Hall of Fame Tennis Club, which is open to the public daily for court time, lessons and clinics. One of the most interesting exhibits at the museum is the hologram of tennis great Roger Federer, giving visitors the experience of a one-on-one encounter. The museum is on the second floor of the historic Newport Casino Building in Newport, Rhode Island.
