Great tennis players are generally associated with an era, dominating the sport for a stretch with a pack of evenly-matched competitors, then fading out as the next, younger and stronger generation of players entered the limelight.
Tennis ball cans, promotional posters, clothing, equipment — much of which has been donated or is on loan to the museum from collectors, journalists, historians and the players themselves — are all on display.
The tour moves from the ghosts of tennis' past to the current generation of Hall-of-Famers, players who have done enough, won enough, and played long enough to earn a place in the Hall of Fame.
