    Source; trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/19076421 From Trove; Tues. 27 Nov 1900 Albert Park Tennis Court In reply to a letter from the Brisbane Technical College Tennis Club, the Parks Committee of the Brisbane Municipal Council recommended that no objection be raised by the council to the moderate use of the double tennis court at Albert Park by the club, providing it does not interfere with the clubs already using the grounds. No exclusive privilege, however, could be granted.

    Some interesting facts: Tennis arrived in Australia in the 1870’s and soon became a popular social game. Courts began springing up across the country from the big cities to the countryside. Originally partaken by women in Europe it was immediately popular with both sexes in Australia. And since 1900 Australian players have been ranked as some of the best on the world scene. From the early days tennis was instantly popular with women although there was no financial support to help with overseas travel to attend tournaments. However, with the aid of fundraising, Daphne Akhurst made the finals of Wimbledon in 1928. Ten years later, Nancy Bolton was the first Australian woman to play in a USA Championship final. In 1963 and 1964, Lesley Bowery won the French Open Singles titles being the first Australian woman to do so. And in 1961 and 1967 she also won the mixed doubles at Wimbledon.
