Description
About the Driftway Tennis Collection
In the public eye since 1987, this array of lawn tennis memorabilia is one of the world's finest privately held collections. It has appeared on display internationally, and in print media, throughout the tennis community. Wherever it goes, the collection is always greeted with rave reviews.
Portions of the 1500 museum quality pieces have been seen on CBS, HBO, several cable network shows and the BBC. They have traveled to Grand Slam venues, as well as the ATP Senior Tour. The collection has appeared in numerous magazines: TENNIS, WORLD TENNIS, RACQUET and the US OPEN TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIPS MAGAZINE.
On it's journeys, the collection has focused on the years from 1873, when the first boxed sets of lawn tennis equipment appeared, to 1938, on that fabulous day 65 years later when the first player won the Grand Slam. The collection represents a complete history of tennis at the turn of the 20th century and the evolution of tennis from a backyard recreation into a huge international popular sport.
