It wasn’t mobile-friendly. The design inspiration may well have been your front lawn. I can’t even imagine what the “text only” version looked like.
But it was a big deal. In 1996, TENNIS Magazine had come to “cyberspace” as TENNIS.com. Twenty years later, that domain remains the ultimate online resource for scores, news and analysis of one of the world’s most popular sports.
It’s fitting that the 20th anniversary of TENNIS.com coincides with the debut of Baseline. As was the case in ’96, we are venturing into unchartered territory with this website, armed with deep knowledge and passion about the game we love, and a burning desire to talk about it. We’re still trying to find the best ways to accomplish that on Baseline, and the same can be said for TENNIS.com—although we’ve learned a lot through the years. Website features have come and gone, as you’ll see in the following screenshots, many for the better. (Did we, however, foreshadow The Daily Spin with “Topspin”?)
LOOK OUT, the ball is coming through of the screen!!!
