In 1872, the world's first tennis club was founded in Leamington
Spa. The world's oldest tennis tournament, the Wimbledon
Championships, was first played in London in 1877. These first
Championships culminated in a debate on how to standardise the
rules of the sport as it evolved. John Moyer Heathcote was one of
those who devised the original rules of lawn tennis, and he is also
credited with inventing the cloth covering for the tennis ball. An
amateur tennis champion until 1882, he wrote one of the very first
manuals of the sport. The Classic Guide to Tennis instructs the
budding tennis player in how to become a master of the game.
