PDX 10s; Tennis in Portland, Oregon, The Boom Years, 1886-1990
Mike Stone
They were the boom years in Portland, Oregon tennis history; the 1970s and 1980s. Future pro stars such as Tracy Austin and Boris Becker tasted success for the first time on Portland's tennis courts. A Davis Cup championship thrilled Portland's tennis fans. Prior to the boom years the City of Roses attracted the "exhibitions" featuring Suzanne Lenglen, Bill Tilden, Pancho Gonzales, Jack Kramer and others with matches played on converted ice skating rinks or in livestock pavilions. World Team Tennis brought more tennis "stars" to the City.
