- The first tournament that alowed you to wear whatever you want was Davis Cup
- Davis Cup was a tournament were people from the certain countries competed against people from other countries.
- This attracted more fans to this sport includng this lady named Mary Ewing Outerbridge
- She was so into the game that her family began to create tennis courts in New York and her brother ended up being served as the executive committe on the U.S. Lawn Tennis Association
- When peope saw her playing, people began playing tennis and creating tennis courts all over different countries because of the joy she had playing the sport.

In this book, Will Grimsley tells us about how tennis clothing changed overtime and how people became more into the game overtime. One reason that supports my main idea is how during and after the tournament Davis Cup, people became more into the sport, because people enjoyed supporting their country compete. Another example that supports my main idea is how people were only supposed to wear white clothing while playing tennis, but now anyone can wear whatever they want playing tennis. These ideas are similar to how you absolutely hate someone when you are playing a sport against but when you meet him or her, he ends up being a really nice guy.
