Framed Tennis Posters

The racquet sport was invented in Birmingham England, more than a century ago and it used to go by the name of lawn tennis. The rules haven’t changed at all since then, with players being rewarded for putting the ball in the opposing field while preventing the other player from returning. The introduction of the tiebreak rules in the 1970s and the requirement for the server to keep one foot on the ground all the time are the only changes and they occurred many decades ago.

The somewhat awkward scoring system puzzles many beginners, but once they pick up the rules, tennis players will have no problem in keeping the score. The framed tennis posters bring in the spotlight famous players, but also athletes that are currently playing in Grand Slam tournaments. Tom Purvis has a slightly different approach and his framed tennis posters are featuring a solitary player sitting idle with his racket in hand. The Harper’s Weekly Tennis series has a vintage look to it and the black-and-white photographs look authentic and create a powerful impression on the audience.
