Real History of USA Tennis Research

I'm doing research for an internet published article titled, "Real History of USA Tennis Instruction: Who taught What and When." It's a timeline showing how tennis was taught featuring quotes from many of tennis' most famous teachers directly using their own words in the year they taught.

It's at www.moderntenniscoaches.com in the MTM Library. I also deal with the Spartak Tennis Academy phenomenon that has set the tennis teaching world into a frenzy as to how a rundown facility with one indoor court in freezing Russia has produced more top twenty players the last seven years than the entire USA.

Feel free to browse around and add your favorite teacher's quotes or defend your point of view. I just want to show what really happened and stop all the revisionist history. I place everything in terms of what Oscar Wegner was teaching, where he was teaching, what he was doing on court versus what everyone else was teaching. The best part is reading the Best of Tennis Magazine doing a frame by frame analysis of the most lethal topspin forehand in tennis in 1975 and claiming it's totally wrong. Funny thing is, it's no different than Federer's or most pro's forehand today. It's under the year 1975 entry.
