Meet the Author
Since I began collecting antique tennis equipment and researching the evolution of lawn tennis in1989, I have published over forty articles in U.S. and European publications directly related to these two topics, as well as my book “Player Endorsed Tennis Rackets”, which was published in 2008. My primary research has always focused on rackets and related tennis equipment made from 1874 through 1985, which marked the end of the wood racket era. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or input.
Thanks for checking in and “Good Collecting” Randy
