Kings of the Court: The Story of Lawn Tennis by E. C. Potter, Jr. - the good old days in 1879, the third Wimbledon victory, Hartley got to the finals on Saturday. he had not arranged for anyone to replace him in pulpit. he rushed off the court, took a one-hour trip to Yorkshire, arrived at W. just in time to change his flannels, averted default and won W. those were the days of the identical twin Renshaws and Dohertys. many still rank the Dos in top 5 of all time from 1903. Pim in between the two sets of twins could pull of a let cord whenever he wanted. But he only won W twice because he only cared about perfecting his stoke.
