Assalamualaikum....
Salam sejahtera kepada semua..
Perjalanan tenisku bermula lagi... Sudah lame aku x update blog ni sbb dlm masa ni ak masih tidak bermain tenis. Akan tetapi, pada masa cuti semester aku telah menjalani latihan intensif untuk meningkatkan skill ak dalam tenis. Ibu ku telah carikan aku jurulatih dr Thailand. Aku sungguh gembira dan pada masa yang sama juga aku ketakutan kerana aku tidak tahu bagaimana orangnyer.. Pada kali pertama aku berjumpa dengannyer, orang yang tinggi lampai itu menegur aku dengan penuh mesra dan dia menyuruh aku untuk warming up. Kami pun stroke perlahan-lahan separuh court, untuk memanaskan badan. Akan tetapi pada waktu itu aku menyedari aku mula berpeluh dengan banyak, pada waktu itu pula dia memulakan 'drill' yang memenatkan.huhu... Penat Gila!!
Akan tetapi dari hari ke hari, stamina ak makin meningkat kerana aku training diri ku sendiri supaya tidak cepat pnt. Hari ke hari juga aku makin dapat bertahan lama dengan 'seksaan' yang diberikan oleh jurulatih ku.. Aku juga dipuji oleh jurulatih ku kerana semangat tidak patah semangat aku dan beliau juga berkata kaki aku amat bagus untuk mengejar bola dengan laju.. Hihihi..agak bangga juga aku pada waktu itu.. Cara permainan aku juga makin improve dengan menjalani latihan tiap2 hari.. Akhirnya LTAM Leg 3 juga telah berlangsung..
Aku menyertai tournament itu dengan penuh keyakinan. Sedang aku bersedia untuk perlawanan aku, kawan ku telah datang kepada ku dengan sindiran "Kau Dah Cukup Training Ker?" aku sungguh pelik dengan pertanyaan itu dan bertanyakan kepadanya kenapa lalu die berkata aku akan berjumpa dengan pemain 'seeded' ataupun ranking ke-5. Aku menjadi tidak terkata tetapi aku berlawan juga dengan penuh keyakinan. Masa perlawanan itu, die serve dulu dan AKU TELAH BREAK SERVE DIA. Dia tercengang kerana tidak menyangka aku blh bermain begitu dan akhirnya dia terus bermain bersungguh-sungguh. Dan akhirnya aku dikalahkan dengan teruk sekali.huhuhu... Sekali lagi aku blk dengan hampa kerana telah tewas tapi coach aku memuji aku kerana aku kalah dengan tidak mengaku kalah..
Sampai disini shaja dahulu perjalanan tenis ku...

Perjalanan tenisku
Salam kepada semua.
Harap maaf sbb sudah lama aku x update blog aku ni..maklumlah org bz dgn studykan.huhu..ak br shaja habis final examku. Hurraaayy!! tp ak berdoa ak dpt mengekalkan prestasi pembelajaran ku. Amin...
Tentang perjalanan tenisku, aku masih lagi dalam proses latihan pemantapan. Walau sesibuk mane pn, aku tetap akan luangkan mase untuk tenis ku ini. Aku belum lagi menyertai sebarang pertandingan selepas perlawanan di MMU open akan tetapi aku telah menyertai Segamat Closed di UITM ku sehari sebelum aku menduduki peperiksaan final ku. HEHEHE!!! Gila x gila lar minat ku dalam tenis ni..aku telah dpt bye pada pusingan pertama dpt layak ke pusingan kedua. Aku sangkakan dlm pertandingn ini, aku mungkin dpt pergi ke suku akhir namun tidak kesampaian kerana ak telah bertemu dgn coach tenis di UITM itu dan ak kalah kepadanya 2-6, 4-6. Aku berasa sungguh sedih namun ak tidak begitu kecewa kerana aku akhirnya telah dpt pengakuan drpd coach itu dan aku blh improve lg. Membara semangat aku mendengar ayat itu dan aku teruskan latihan aku ini.
Baiklah... Sampai disini dahulu perjalanan tenisku. Doakan aku berjaya dalam pelajaran dan juga karier tenisku. Amin..

Perjalanan Tenisku...
Salam...
Ape khabar pembaca-pembaca ku? Semoga korg sihat sejahtera dan dirahmati Allah S.W.T.
Sudah lama aku x update blog aku ini. Maklumlah final dah dekat, assignment pulak bersepah-sepah. Berdebar pula jantung ku untuk menghadapi final yang akan datang ini. Doakan supaya aku dapat mengekalkan pointer aku dan juga tingkatkan pointer aku pada semester ini. Baiklah! Mari kita sambung cerita aku dalam bidang tenis ini.
Aku telah menyertai 2 pertandingan sebelum aku update blog aku ini..iaitu di UTP dan MMU Open. Seperti biasa sebelum bertolak ke sana aku telah berlatih bersungguh untuk meningkatkan prestasi aku ini. Aku berasa sungguh gementar setiap kali aku menyertai perlawanan seperti ini, maklumlah org baru belajar seperti aku ini akan bertembung dgn pemain-pemain yang hebat di seluruh negeri. Aku bertolak ke UTP pada khamis 2 minggu lepas di Perak. Semasa perlawanan berlangsung, aku tegapkan semangat ku untuk menghadapi lawanku dan lawanku pula adalah seeded 10. Seeded 10 tu!! takut aku bila melihat namanya. Akan tetapi, semasa aku sedang warm up, berita x disangka disampaikan kepada ku..Aku mendapat Walk Over! kata lain menang percuma...aku berasa sungguh gembira kerana aku tidak perlu menghadap lawan yg hbt spt itu dan mara ke pusingan ke2. Yessss!!!
Di pusingan ke2 pula, aku amat berkeyakinan untuk menghadapi lawanku ini..TETAPI..ini lah kesilapan ku yg tidak ptt aku lakukan. Semasa berlawan di pusingan ke2 walaupun pihak lawan ku bknlah pemain seeded tetapi dia boleh bermain dgn baik. Dan akibat sikap aku yg Over Confident ini, aku bermain dgn begitu teruk skali..strok aku x menjd, servis ku kebynkannyer double fault di awal perlawanan dan aku ketinggalan 5-0! akhirnya, aku cb mendptkn ketengangan ku dan bermain dgn lbh elok. Malangnya nasi sudah menjd bubur, ternyata pihak lawanku lbh hbt dn mengekalkan perlwanannya dan aku dibelasah 8-0...Patah semangatku pada waktu itu dan aku mencampak raket ku dlm keadaan geram..dan aku balik dgn penuh kekecewaan.
Sebelum pergi ke MMU, sepanjang minggu sebelumnya aku tidak boleh bermain dgn baik langsung. Rakan-rakan ku berasa hairan kerana aku tidak bersemangat spt dulu..mereka cb utk menasihati ku dan seorg pun tidak berjaya kerana aku berasa btul2 Down pada waktu itu..mereka cb utk meningkatkan keyakinan ku semula dgn melatih aku secara ekstrim..dan disitu keyakinan ku naik semula dan aku berterima kasih kepada mereka. Aku terpilih oleh jurulatihku untuk bermain di MMU di Melaka dam aku bersetuju. Akan tetapi ak cm menjd pemain simpanan..huhu...namun aku tidak sedih kerana aku dpt melihat cara pemain-pemain hbt bermain sebagai pemerhati dan aku bersyukur kerana bnyk ilmu aku pelajari di sana walaupun aku tidak bermain.
SEKARANG....ak sedg memantapkn skill tenis ku dgn ape yg aku pelajari. Masih bnyk yg perlu diperbaiki..OKlah! sampai sini dulu cerita tenisku..Akan ku sambung bler ad masa lg..Salam..

Supporting Windows NT
Preparing for InstallationWindows NT comes with three disks that contain a simplified version of Windows NT, enough to boot a PC. If the hard drive does not contain an OS, the installation begins by booting from these three disks.After Windows NT is loaded from these three disks, it can access the CD-ROM drive, and installation continues from the CD.The program on the CD executed at that point is Winnt.exe, a 16-bit program.A faster version of Winnt.exe on the CD named Winnt32.exe, a 32-bit program, can be used instead of Winnt.exe in cartain situations.Winnt32.exe can be run only after Windows Nt has already been installed for the first time; it is used to upgrade from an older NT version to a newer version or to reinstall a corrupted version. It must be executed from within Windows NT.The three startup disks can later be used to boot the PC if files on the hard drive become corrupted. You can also create a new set of bootable disks.The Windows NT installation files are stored in the \i386 directory on the CD-ROM drive. If hard drive space is plentiful, you can copy the contents of the \i386 directory and its subdirectories to the hard drive and install from there, which is faster because access to the hard drive is faster than access to the CD-ROM drive.If the computer is connected to a network, the contents of the \i386 directory can be copied to a network server, and the Winnt.exe program can be executed from the server to install Windows NT on the PC, if certain conditions exist. To perform an upgrade to Windows NT, boot the OS and axecute the Winnt.exe program on the Windows NT CD.

Perjalanan tenisku...
Assalamuailaikum..
Mari kte sambung tentang pengalaman ku dalam tenis.
Ak berasa mkin seronok bermain tenis sbb setiap kali ak bermain, mkin bnyk teknik yg perlu ak perbaiki..membuatkan aku berasa lebih bersemangat untuk bermain tenis. Ingin juga aku berangan menjadi seperti roger federer hahaha..(berangan jek).
Pada 2 minggu lps 14 ari bln 2 2009, ak telah menyertai pertandingan tenis open di Jalan Duta, Kuala Lumpur. Memandangkan ini kali pertama aku menyertai perlawanan yg besar seperti ini, aku berasa begitu takut dan gementar namun aku tidak menunjukkanya di hadapan kawan-kawan ku yg telah lama berkecimpung dalam sukan ini. Pada malam sebelum perlawanan, aku telah dikunjungi oleh keluargaku. Mereka begitu berbangga dengan pencapaian ku walaupun hanya berjaya melayakkan diri di 'main draw' sahaja. Mereka tahu aku mempunyai penyakit yg digelar 'digi' ataupun darah gemuruh. Oleh itu, mereka menenangkan aku dan menasihati ku supaya jgn gemuruh bila pertandingan nnt. Esoknyer, selepas solat subuh aku bersembang dgn jurulatihku utk mendapatkan tips-tips semasa berlawan. Hatiku tenang semula selepas mengingati nasihat-nasihat yg telah diberikan kepadaku. Selepas itu, pertandingan bermula dan aku telah disuruh bersedia di court pukul 9.30 pg dan aku bertemu dgn lawanku berbangsa cina. Semasa perlawanan, aku sentiasa menenangkn diriku dan permainan aku agak baik akan tetapi aku agak kecewa kerana lawanku begitu panas baran dan aku terpaksa melayan kerenahnya. Perlawana berlalu dan walaupun aku berhempas pulas, aku terpaksa tunduk kepada kehebatannya dan tewas. Namun begitu aku tidak kecewa sbb lawanku itu juga terpaksa lawan sedaya upaya utk menewaskan ku dan jurulatihku mengucapkan tahniah atas usaha ku bermain dan menyuruh ku berlatih besungguh-sungguh lg bila pulang ke UITM nnt. Aku pun mkin bersemangat mendengar ayat-ayat itu dan tidak sabar utk perlawanan akn datg. Tentang pelajaran ku pula, aku tidak akn sesekali abaikan sebaliknya sentiasa membaiki prestasi aku. Kepada mereka yg telah view blog ini, doakan aku berjaya tingkatkan prestasi ku x kira pada pelajaran ku ataupun tenisku. Amin....
Sampai sini dulu cerita ku..akan ku sambung lg bila ada kesempatan. Salam...

Sambungan pelajaran tenis
Mari kte sambung belajar tentang tenis...
kali ni tentang court dan cara permainan die plak...
kali ni tentang court dan cara permainan die plak...
Manner of play
For individual terms see: Tennis terminology
Court
Main article: Tennis court
The dimensions of a tennis court, in metric units.
Two players before a serve.
Tennis is played on a rectangular, flat surface, usually grass, clay, or a hardcourt of concrete and/or asphalt. The court is 78 feet (23.77 m) long, and its width is 27 feet (8.23 m) for singles matches and 36 ft (10.97 m) for doubles matches. Additional clear space around the court is required in order for players to reach overrun balls. A net is stretched across the full width of the court, parallel with the baselines, dividing it into two equal ends. The net is 3 feet 6 inches (1.07 m) high at the posts and 3 feet (91.4 cm) high in the center.
The design of the lawn tennis court has undergone much development. It was Major Walter Clopton Wingfield who, in 1873, designed a court approximate to the current one for his stické tennis (sphairistike). This template was modified in 1875 to the court shape that exists today; the markings homogeneous with Wingfield's design, with the hourglass shape of his court changed to a more linear framework.
Lines
The lines that delineate the width of the court are called the baseline (farthest back) and the service line (middle of the court). The short mark in the center of each baseline is referred to as either the hash mark or the center mark. The outermost lines that make up the length are called the doubles sidelines. These are the boundaries used when doubles is being played. The lines to the inside of the doubles sidelines are the singles sidelines and are used as boundaries in singles play. The area between a doubles sideline and the nearest singles sideline is called the doubles alley, which is considered playable in doubles play. The line that runs across the center of a player's side of the court is called the service line because the serve must be delivered into the area between the service line and the net on the receiving side. Despite its name, this is not where a player legally stands when making a serve. The line dividing the service line in two is called the center line or center service line. The boxes this center line creates are called the service boxes; depending on a player's position, he will have to hit the ball into one of these when serving. A ball is out only if none of it has hit the line upon its first bounce. All the lines are required to be between 1 and 2 inches (51 mm) in width. The baseline can be up to 4 inches (100 mm) wide if so desired.
Play of a single point
Main article: Point (tennis)
The players (or teams) start on opposite sides of the net. One player is designated the server, and the opposing player, or in doubles one of the opposing players, is the receiver. Service alternates between the two halves of the court. For each point, the server starts behind his baseline, between the center mark and the sideline. The receiver may start anywhere on their side of the net. When the receiver is ready, the server will serve, although the receiver must play to the pace of the server.
In a legal service, the ball travels over the net (without touching it) and into the diagonally opposite service box. If the ball hits the net but lands in the service box, this is a let or net service, which is void, and the server gets to retake that serve. The player can serve any number of let services in a point and they are always treated as voids and not as faults. A fault is a serve that is long, wide, or not over the net. There is also a "foot fault", which occurs when a player's foot touches the baseline or an extension of the center mark before the ball is hit. If the second service is also faulty, this is a double fault, and the receiver wins the point. However, if the serve is in, it is considered a legal service.
A legal service starts a rally, in which the players alternate hitting the ball across the net. A legal return consists of the player or team hitting the ball exactly once before it has bounced twice or hit any fixtures except the net, provided that it still falls in the server's court. The ball then travels back over the net and bounces in the court on the opposite side. The first player or team to fail to make a legal return loses the point.
Scoring
Main article: Tennis score
A tennis match is composed of a number of sets. Typically for both men's and women's matches, the first player to win two sets wins the match. At certain important tennis tournaments for men, including all four Grand Slam tournaments and the final of the Olympic Games, the first man to win three sets wins the match. A set consists of games, and games, in turn, consist of points.
A game consists of a sequence of points played with the same player serving. A game is won by the first player to have won at least four points in total and at least two points more than the opponent. The running score of each game is described in a manner particular to tennis: scores of zero to three points are described as "love" (or zero), "fifteen", "thirty", and "forty" respectively. (See the main article Tennis score for the origin of these words as used in tennis.) If at least three points have been scored by each player, and the scores are equal, the score is "deuce". If at least three points have been scored by each side and a player has one more point than his opponent, the score of the game is "advantage" for the player in the lead. During informal games, "advantage" can also be called "ad in" or "ad out", depending on whether the serving player or receiving player is ahead, respectively.
In tournament play, the chair umpire calls the point count (e.g., "fifteen-love") after each point. The score of a tennis match during play is always read with the serving player's score first. After a match, the score is always read with the winning player's score first. At the end of a game, the chair umpire also announces the winner of the game and the overall score.
A game point occurs in tennis whenever the player who is in the lead in the game needs only one more point to win the game. The terminology is extended to sets (set point), matches (match point), and even championships (championship point). For example, if the player who is serving has a score of 40-love, the player has a triple game point (triple set point, etc.) as the player has three consecutive chances to win the game. Game points, set points, and match points are not part of official scoring and are not announced by the chair umpire in tournament play.
A break point occurs if the receiver, not the server, has a game point. Break points are of particular importance in men's professional tennis because serving is generally advantageous. The advantage to the server is much less in the women's game. A receiver who has two (score of 15-40) or three (score of love-40) consecutive chances to win the game has double break point or triple break point, respectively. As with game, set, and match points, break points are not announced.
A set consists of a sequence of games played with service alternating between games, ending when the count of games won meets certain criteria. Typically, a player wins a set by winning at least six games and at least two games more than the opponent. If one player has won six games and the opponent five, an additional game is played. If the leading player wins that game, the player wins the set 7–5. If the trailing player wins the game, a tiebreaker is played. A tiebreaker, played under a separate set of rules, allows one player to win one more game and thus the set, to give a final set score of 7–6. Only in the final sets of matches at the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, the Olympic Games, Davis Cup, and Fed Cup are tiebreakers not played. In these cases, sets are played indefinitely until one player has a two game lead. A "love" set means that the loser of the set won zero games. In tournament play, the chair umpire announces the winner of the set and the overall score.
In tournament play, the chair umpire announces the end of the match with the well-known phrase "Game, set, match" followed by the winning person's or team's name.

A break point occurs if the receiver, not the server, has a game point. Break points are of particular importance in men's professional tennis because serving is generally advantageous. The advantage to the server is much less in the women's game. A receiver who has two (score of 15-40) or three (score of love-40) consecutive chances to win the game has double break point or triple break point, respectively. As with game, set, and match points, break points are not announced.
A set consists of a sequence of games played with service alternating between games, ending when the count of games won meets certain criteria. Typically, a player wins a set by winning at least six games and at least two games more than the opponent. If one player has won six games and the opponent five, an additional game is played. If the leading player wins that game, the player wins the set 7–5. If the trailing player wins the game, a tiebreaker is played. A tiebreaker, played under a separate set of rules, allows one player to win one more game and thus the set, to give a final set score of 7–6. Only in the final sets of matches at the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, the Olympic Games, Davis Cup, and Fed Cup are tiebreakers not played. In these cases, sets are played indefinitely until one player has a two game lead. A "love" set means that the loser of the set won zero games. In tournament play, the chair umpire announces the winner of the set and the overall score.
In tournament play, the chair umpire announces the end of the match with the well-known phrase "Game, set, match" followed by the winning person's or team's name.

Tenisku, Hidupku...
Baiklah, aku akn bercerita tentang sejarah tenis ku..
Sebenarnya, aku hanya bermula main pada semester kedua ak berada di UITM Segamat, Johor. Aku tidak pernah terfikir untuk berkecimpung dlam sukan ni pun.. Ak di ajak oleh seniorku untuk menemaninya bermain. ak berfikir bahawa memandangkan ak tidak dapat menyertai sukan lain kerana terlalu ramai atlit2 yg lbih hbt dariku yg menyertai sukan2 seperti bola sepak, badminton dan lain2. Tanpa berfikir panjang, ak menerima pelawaan seniorku dan bermain dgnnya..
Hampir setiap ari aku bermain dgnnya dan tiap2 ari ak dibelasahnya..huhu..aku mkin seronok bermain tenis ini. Dan mkin ari, ak telah menyukai sukan ini sehingga ak menanamkan sifat ingin menewaskan seniorku itu. Dan sekarang, ak berada di semester 4, ak telah dapat menandinginya. Owh..lupa lak. Pada semester 3, ak akhirnya di pilih untuk menyertai pasukan tenis dalam KARISMA. Ak begitu teruja sekali dan begitu juga dengan keluarga ku. Ak telah pergi bertanding di UITM Perak dan berjaya memperoleh pingat gangsa. Ak berasa sungguh gembira sbb jurulatihku memujiku dan ahli2 lain kerana usaha kami dlam mendapatkan pingat ni.. Ak pun berpuas ati dgn pencapaian diriku ni dan keluarga ku begitu berbangga dgn ku hingga mereka menghadiahkn aku sebatang raket lg.. Perasaan ku membuak-buak sbb keluarga ku menyokongku 100% dalam sukan ni.. Ak pula ingin terus memperbaiki diriku dalam tenis ini..(dan juga dalam bidang akademik ku.hihi..)
Fuh..pnt jgk wt blog ni..seronok pun ada..setakat ni lah dahulu cterku dalam tenis. Assalamualaikum...

Maklumat Tentang Tenis
Ini lah sukan kesukaan ku. Sblm kite menyukai sesuatu kite hendaklah mangetahui tentangya duhulu. Betul x? Kepada mereka yang ingin belajar bermain tenis, ketahuilah dulu serba sedikit tentangnya...
Tennis is a sport played between two players (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a strung racquet to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt (most of the time Optic Yellow, but can be any color or even two-tone) over a net into the opponent's court.
The modern game of tennis originated in the United Kingdom in the late 19th century as "lawn tennis" and had heavy connections to the ancient game of real tennis. After its creation, tennis spread throughout the upper-class English-speaking population before spreading around the world. Tennis is an Olympic sport and is played at all levels of society at all ages. The sport can be played by anyone who can hold a racket, including people in wheelchairs. In the United States, there is a collegiate circuit organized by the National Collegiate Athletics Association.
Except for the adoption of the tiebreaker in the 1970s, the rules of tennis have changed very little since the 1890s. A recent addition to professional tennis has been the adoption of "instant replay" technology coupled with a point challenge system, which allows a player to challenge the official call of a point.
Along with its millions of players, millions of people worldwide follow tennis as a spectator sport, especially the four Grand Slam tournaments (sometimes referred to as the "majors"): the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open.

Tennis as the modern sport can be dated to two separate roots. Between 1859 and 1865, Major Harry Gem and his friend Augurio Perera developed a game that combined elements of rackets similar to the game of Poona or Badminton many British soldiers brought from being stationed in India and the Basque ball game pelota, which they played on Perera's croquet lawn in Birmingham, United Kingdom. In 1872, along with two local doctors, they founded the world's first tennis club in Leamington Spa. The Courier of July 23, 1884 recorded one of the first tennis tournaments, held in the grounds of Shrubland Hall.
In December 1873, Major Walter Clopton Wingfield designed a similar game — which he called sphairistike (Greek: σφάίρίστική, meaning "skill at playing at ball"), and was soon known simply as "sticky" — for the amusement of his guests at a garden party on his estate of Nantclwyd, in Llanelidan, Wales.[6] He based the game on the newer sport of outdoor tennis or real tennis. According to most tennis historians, modern tennis terminology also derives from this period, as Wingfield borrowed both the name and much of the French vocabulary of real tennis and applied them to his new game.
Lawn tennis in the U.S., 1887
The first championships at Wimbledon in London were played in 1877. On May 21, 1881, the United States National Lawn Tennis Association (now the United States Tennis Association) was formed to standardize the rules and organize competitions. The U.S. National Men's Singles Championship, now the US Open, was first held in 1881 at Newport, Rhode Island. The U.S. National Women's Singles Championships were first held in 1887. Tennis was also popular in France, where the French Open dates to 1891. Thus, Wimbledon, the US Open, the French Open, and the Australian Open (dating to 1905) became and have remained the most prestigious events in tennis. Together these four events are called the Grand Slam (a term borrowed from bridge.
The comprehensive International Lawn Tennis Federation, now known as the International Tennis Federation, rules promulgated in 1924 have remained remarkably stable in the ensuing eighty years, the one major change being the addition of the tiebreaker system designed by James Van Alen.
The Davis Cup, an annual competition between national teams, dates to 1900.
In 1926, promoter C.C. Pyle established the first professional tennis tour with a group of American and French tennis players playing exhibition matches to paying audiences. The most notable of these early professionals were the American Vinnie Richards and the Frenchwoman Suzanne Lenglen. Once a player turned pro he or she could not compete in the major (amateur) tournaments.
In 1968, commercial pressures and rumors of some amateurs taking money under the table led to the abandonment of this distinction, inaugurating the open era, in which all players could compete in all tournaments, and top players were able to make their living from tennis. With the beginning of the open era, the establishment of an international professional tennis circuit, and revenues from the sale of television rights, tennis's popularity has spread worldwide, and the sport has shed its upper/middle-class English-speaking image (although it is acknowledged that this stereotype still exists).
In 1954, Van Alen founded the International Tennis Hall of Fame, a non-profit museum in Newport, Rhode Island. The building contains a large collection of tennis memorabilia as well as a hall of fame honoring prominent members and tennis players from all over the world. Each year, a grass-court tournament and an induction ceremony honoring new Hall of Fame members are hosted on its grounds.
