ABSTRACT The development of lawn tennis has often been associated with London and, with other racquet sports, been seen as dominated by elites and social tradition. This is challenged in some recent scholarship, which points to variations of support across time and place. Using club records, press reports and testimony from players, officials and members, it is argued here that lawn tennis in the West Midlands was both a more significant and somewhat less elite sport than the orthodox view allows.
