Watch Perry's serve in the video. Players had to keep one foot on the ground while serving back then. Makes the motion look rather odd.

Google - Tennis DVDs there are a number of sites with a huge range of DVD matches - can be expensive.

Great clip eric.

Thats the first time Ive seen footage from that far back and I was pleased to see its not unrecognisable from the game we watch today.

Fred LOVED hurdling the net.
