It's a fitting collaboration (协作), given the island's reputation as a destination for travelers in search of perfect adventures——just a ninety-minute flight from New York City. Lesser known, however, is that the long history of American tennis was introduced by this attractive Atlantic island. Nearly a hundred and fifty years ago, the New York celebrity Mary Ewing Outerbridge sailed for days to vacation on this quiet island. She watched, fascinated, as some British soldiers stationed there played tennis, although a version different from one we know today. The courts in Bermuda were shaped like hourglasses, the net was also higher, and a number of the rules were different. Mary became fascinated watching the ball flying back and forth, and ended up purchasing a kit containing all the materials needed to bring the sport home to Staten Island. Using a hand-drawn diagram, she laid out a court at her brother's cricket club, where the sport caught on among members. From there, the game's popularity quickly grew, leading to standardized rules and regulations--and then, in 1880, to the first U.S. tennis championship. In only a few years, Mary' s unexpected souvenir from her Bermuda trip helped set a national tradition: today, nearly eighteen million people in the US play the sport, from the public-tennis-court games in many cities to the annual U.S. Open, in NYC. Mary's role in bringing tennis from Bermuda to America has earned her a place in the International Tennis Hall of Fame. It only serves to enhance the sport's appeal to learn that every swing of the racket in the US can be traced back to Bermuda, where island adventures still wait for all travelers--tennis lovers included.
