1953-1968 杰克·克雷默的加入为职业网球带来新的浪潮。与网前功夫见长的理查兹相比,克雷默的高度在于他是一个真正的发球上网选手。他开创了一个延续了半世纪的现代网球风格,这一风格在潘科·冈萨雷斯、拉维尔、埃默森、麦肯罗、埃德博格、贝克尔、桑普拉斯手中传承。这是一个传奇人物辈出的黄金时代。退出赛场后的克雷默在组织和运作上显示出同样惊人的创造力。他为1968年开始的公开赛设计了不同等级的巡回赛和年终8强赛的制度,这是公开赛时代沿用至今的基本框架。他也是ATP的发起人之一和第一位执行总裁。1973年,因为抗议南斯拉夫网协和国际网联对拒绝代表国家队参赛的皮利奇进行的不公正惩罚,ATP旗下的绝大部分选手罢赛当年的温布尔顿。克雷默和新成立的ATP也因之名声大振。无论如何,那个事件在现代网球史上都是里程碑性的,它为球员们树立了一个永久的典范,即他们有权力对抗国家和国际组织安排的命运。当然,这都是后话。
1953-1968 The addition of Jack Kramer brings a new wave of professional tennis. Compared with Richards, a former kung fu champion, Kramer’s height is that he is a true serve online player. He pioneered a modern tennis style that lasted half a century, a style inherited from the hands of Panko Gonzalez, Lavelle, Emerson, McEnroe, Edberg, Becker, and Sampras . This is a golden age of legendary generation. Kramer after the exit from the stadium in the organization and operation showed the same amazing creativity. He designed a system of different levels of tournaments and year-end play-offs for the Open Championship that started in 1968, the basic framework to be used up until now in the Open era. He is also one of the initiators and the first CEO of ATP. In 1973, the majority of ATP’s players were to be wiped out of Wimbledon that year, in protest of the unjust punishments made by the Yugoslavia Tennis Association and the World Wide Network against Pietri, who represented the national team. Kramer and the newly formed ATP also made a name for himself. In any event, that event was a landmark in the history of modern tennis, and it set a permanent example for players that they have the power to fight the fate of nations and international organizations. Of course, this is afterword.
