The Real History of USA Tennis Instruction: What Happened When and Where by John Carpenter « Official Website of Oscar Wegner and Modern Tennis Methodology MTM - LS

[...]The great USA tennis boom occurred. But millions would find the conventional teaching too difficult and unless you were a gifted athlete or liked clim[b]ing mountains (figuratively), tennis got pushed aside. In 1984, Gallup 1 in 5 men listed tennis as one of their favorite sports. By 2005, the same poll found 1 in 20 USA men considered tennis a favorite sport while tennis boomed all over the rest of the world who adopted the simple techniques prescribed in a 1989 ["Tennis in 2 Hours" in December 1989.] book that has been virtually ignored in USA media for the last twenty years.

Oscar Wegner the Best Tennis Teacher Ever!

Oscar Wegner played the tennis tour during the pre-professional days of the late 60s. After suffering injuries playing the Carribean tour he became an assistant coach to Pancho Segura in Los Angeles, where he developed his revolutionary approach to teaching tennis that emphasised on simplicity, natural movements and quick improvement. His approach influenced many past and current professional players such as Wimbledon champions like Bjorn Borg to the Williams sisters, Brasil's French Open champion Gustavo 'Guga' Kuerten, the Spanish Tennis 'Armada' and the many Russian players, to Thai player Paradorn Srichapan and more recently behind China's break through into Grand Slams like the US Open and Wimbledon. Like the former Soviet Union[now Russia] -- China's tennis federation translated Oscar's revolutionary book "Tennis In 2 Hours"(1989, self published) now published for the third time, this latest edition written with Steven Ferry is titled "Play Better Tennis in Two Hours" (2005, McGraw-Hill).
