Sejarah PELTI

Tennis, kita ketahui, adalah permainan atau olah raga dengan menggunakan raket dan bola. Dalam olah raga yang juga disebut lawan tennis raket dipukulkan ke bola sambut menyambut - oleh seorang atau sepasang pemain yang saling berhadapan - ke seberang jaring yang sengaja dipasang di sebidang lapangan empat persegi panjang.

Tadinya, sekitar abad ke-I6, tennis dimainkan di Italia, Prancis, dan lnggris, ketika lapangan mainnya dibangun di balik dinding-dinding istana kcrajaan. Tapi tennis modern diperkenalkan oleh Mayor Wingfield di Inggris pada 1873, dan setahun kemudian oleh Nona Mary Outerhridge di Amerika Serikat. Lapangan­-lapangan permainannya pun dibangun di kedua negeri itu. Kejuaraan tennis pertama dilangsungkan di Wimbledon, kota kecil sekitar 12 km di barat daya London, Inggris. Persatuan Tennis AS didirikan, 1881. berbagai kejuaraan amatir diselenggarakan di beberapa negara, yang mengundang datangnya beribu-ribu penon­ton. Mula-mula hanya memainkan partai tunggal putra, diikuti partai tunggal putri tiga tahun kemudiannya.

Tahun 1900 adalah saat bersejarah bagi tennis. Pada tahun itulah Dwight Davis, bintang ganda AS, mcng­hadiahkan sebuah piata Perak untuk diperebutkan dalam turnamen antarnegara, yang kcmudian tenar sebagai "Davis Cup" . Dalam pertandingan internasional pertama antara AS dan Inggris, Amerika unggul 3-0.

Kian populer dan majunya olah raga tennis, tak ayal telah mendorong didirikannya "Federation Internationale de Lawn Tennis" (Federasi Tennis Intcrnasionsl) pada 1912.

Di Indonesia: Lahirnya PELTI
Besar kemungkinan, orang Belandalah yang memper­kenalkan tennis di Indonesia, walaupun tidak mustahil pula permainan ini dibawa para pelaut Inggris yang singgah di kota-kota besar Kepulauan Nusantara. Sayang arsip-arsip berbagai perkumpulan milik warga negara Belanda yang pernah berdiri di negeri ini telah hilang, hingga kita tidak bisa melacak mana di antara dua perkiraan itu lebih benar.

Namun yang jelas, di negeri mana pun, olah raga ini mulai dimainkan dan lebih dikenal di kalangan bangsawan, hartawan, dan kaum terpelajar. Juga di Indo­nesia. Apalagi di zaman penjajahan Belanda. Di masa itu hanya segelintir kaum pribumi yang mampu mengayun­kan raket tennis, sedang jumlahnya yang lebih besar terdiri dari orang Belanda dan Cina. Itu pun hanya di kota-kota besar.

Jumlah kaum pribumi penggemar tennis mulai me­ningkat pada tahun-tahun 1920-an ? seiring kian banyaknya murid-murid Indonesia mcmasuki sekolah ­sekolah menengah, khususnya di kota-kota besar seperti Jakarta dan Surabaya. Mereka - umumnya para siswa Stovia, Rechrsschool, dan -NIAS - pada gilirannya memperkenalkan olah raga ini ke kalangan yang Iebih luas. Tennis pun mulai dimainkan atau dipertanding­kan dalam kegiatan berbagai organisasi pemuda di masa itu. Olah raga inipun mulai dilihat sehagai penghimpun massa, terutama oleh kaum nasionalis yang mencita­citakan Kemerdekaan Indonesia.

Lahirnya Boedi Oetomo, 1908, dan kemudian Soempah Pemoeda, 1928, memang senantiasa menghangati setiap langkah dan gerak kaum muda di kurun itu. Maka tidak heran bila penjajah Belanda selalu mengintip dan memantau setiap gcrak-gerik pergerakan pemuda, yang nonpolitik apalagi yang berbau politik. Terhadap gerakan yang diduga kecenderungan politik, tindakan pcmbatasan segera dilakukan. Toh serangkaian rintangan itu tidak membuat kaum muda patriotik kehilangan akal. Disemangati sumpah Satoe Noesa, Satoe Bangsa, Satoe Bahasa, mereka melebur beberapa organisasi pemuda yang berpolitik ke dalam satu wadah baru yang disebut Indonesia Moeda, pada 1930.

Latar belakang lahirnya Indonesia Moeda jelas berangkat dari larangan bagi kegiatan politik yang diber­lakukan kepada mereka. Mereka berkeyakinan, hanya dengan menggerakkan aktivitas sosial masyarakat baru bisa dicapai persatuan seluruh rakyat menuju kemerdeka­an. Di dalamnya juga termasuk kegiatan olah raga. Setiap pemuda yang sehat dan ingin sehat tentu menggernari olah raga, yang di dalamnya sportivitas dan sifat kompe­titif merupakan satu sisi dari mata uang, dan pada gilirannya dapat membangkitkan patriotisme.

Semangat cinta Nusa dan bangsa ini nyatanya memang berkembang di kalangan olahragawan Indonesia, ter­masuk di antara para petennis. Pada semacam kejuaraan nasional yang diadakan oleh De Alegemeene Nederland­sche Lawn Tennis Bond (ANILTB) di Malang, Jawa Timur, akhir 1934, tiga wakil pribumi mampu berjaya. Di partai tunggal putra, dua saudara Soemadi dan Samboedjo Hoerip maju babak final, yang pertandingan akhirnya dimenangkan oleh Samboedjo. Yang lebih mengesankan adalah dua partai berikutnya, yang memperagakan keunggulan anak jajahan atas penjajahnya. Yang pertama, pasangan ganda putra Hoerip Bersaudara, yang menggilas pasangan Belanda, Bryan/Abendanon, 6-3, 6-4 di final. Juara ganda campuran juga diraih keluarga Hoerip, Samboedjo dan Soelastri, yang mendepak pasangan "penjajah" , Bryan/Nn. Schermbeek, 6-4, 6-2 ? sekaligus mencetak gelar pemegang juara tumarnen ANILIB tiga kali beruntun, 1932-19.34.

Prestasi ini tak ayal mendorong Indonesia Moeda mcngadakan Pekan olah raganya sendiri, yang berlangsung pada tiap hari ulang tahun atau pertemuan tahunannya. Tennis, tentu, termasuk di antaranya cabang-cabang yang dipertandingkan. Salah Satu di antaranya yang dilaksanakan pada Desember 1935 di Semarang - yang juga sekali­gus menjadi saat dicetuskannya pembentukan Persatuan Lawn Tcnnis Indonesia (PELTI).

Kejuaraan ini sendiri diprakarsai oleh dr. Hoerip yang diakui sebagai Bapak Tennis Indonesia. menghimpun 70 petennis dari seluruh Jawa, kejuaraan ini dipantau dan mendapat perhatian serius dari pihak kolonnial Belanda. Itu tercermin dari pemuatan peristiwa penting olah raga tennis tersebut dalam surat kabar De Locomotif 30 Desember 1935. dengan Judul yang kalau diterjemahkan berbunyi : "Kejuaraan Tennis Seluruh Jawa dari Pcrsatuan Lawn Tennis Indonesia" . Namun, di pihak lain, ini juga berarti pengakuan pihak Belanda bahwa ANILTB telah mendapatkan saingannya.

Tanggal 26 Desember 1935 kemudian dicatat sebagai kari lahirnya PELTI

Gagasan pendirian PELTI sendiri, yang dikemukakan pada Kejuaraan Tennis di Semarang itu. berasal dari Mr. Budiyanto Martoatmodjo. tokoh tennis dari Jember - ia kemudian dianggap sebagai pencetak dasar utama pendirian organisasi PELTI. Ketika mcnguraikan azas dan tujuan pendiriannya ia mcngatakan bahwa PELTI, sebagaimana organisasi kebangsaan lainnya, sama sekali "Tidal bersifat mengasingkan diri." Maka PELTI akan selalu siap bekerja lama dengan persatuan tennis manapun dan apa saja, asal atas dasar saling menghargai.

Diungkapkan pula. tujuan praktis utama PELTI adalah mengembangkan dan memajukan permainan lawan tennis di tanah air dan bagi bangsa sendiri. Dengan cara ini. Iebih jauh, diharapkan akan dicapal tali persaudaraan yang erat di antara segala perhimpunan dan pemain tennis bangsa Indonesia. PELTI juga akan menyebarluaskan peraturan permainan, memberi keterangan dan bantuan dalam pembuatan lapangan tennis. Juga meng­adakan dan mengatur serta menyumbang bagi terlaksana­nya pertandingan, di samping berusaha memasyarakatkan permainan tennis itu sendiri.

Gagasan pendirian PELTI mendapat dukungan yang memadai, khususnya di kalangan yang berani mengambil resiko berhadapan dengan pemerintah kolonial, termasuk dari kalangan yang terpandang. Di Semarang saja, para simpatisan semacam itu tidak sedikit jumahnya. Misalnya: Dr. Buntaran Martoatmodjo (yang kemudian, sejak 1935, menjadi ketua PELTI lima tahun berturut­-turut), Dr. Rasjid, Dr. Mokhtar, Dr. Sardjito, R.M. Soeprapto, Nitiprodjo, dan beberapa lainnya. Dari Para tokoh berbagai kota Iainnya, dukungan diwakili oleh: Mr. Budhiyarto Martoatmodjo (Jember), R.M. Wazar (Bandung), Djajamihardja (Jakarta), Mr. Susanto Tirtoprojo (Surabaya), Mr. Soedja (Purwokerto), Berta Mr. Oesman Sastroamidjojo, ahli olah raga tennis yang namanya terkenal di Eropa.

Pada umumnya, mereka memandang simpatik gagasan Dr. Hoerip, yang sebernarnya sudah dicetuskan sejak 1930, diilhami oleh berdirinya PSSI pada 30 April tahun itu. Tapi para tokoh tadi berbeda pendapar dalam beberapa hal, terutama mengenai saat yang tepat bagi pendirian Induk organisasi tennis Itu. Dari berbagai sikap yang lahir - revolusioner, moderat, plintat-plintut - akhirnya golongan tengahlah yang merupakan mayoritas. Pengalaman pahit saat-saat pendirian PSSI tampaknya menjadi cermin pembanding bagi para pelopor PELTI, hingga mereka memilih bersikap Iebih hati-hati meng­hadapi reaksi pemerintah Belanda - mereka tentunya tidak senang melihat setiap kegiatan yang bersifat mem­persatukan kekuatan. Para pendiri PELTI tidak Ingin organisasi yang akan mereka dirikan mati dalam kandungan. Itulah sebabnya PELTI baru berdiri lima tahun kemudian, 1935.

TESTIMONIALS

Chan Yung-Jan (TPE) - Australian Open Women’s Doubles Finalist, Highest ITF World Junior Ranking No. 2

“Coach Lin was my childhood coach who taught me how to play tennis. He was the only coach that I worked with who knew the importance of fundamentals. Even until today, Coach Lin’s influence and hard work still remain in my character as a tennis player and a person. Not only he was a good coach, he was also a caring and nurturing person who was very dedicated in my development as a tennis player and as a child. I learned a lot from Coach Lin as he guided me during the most important phase of my development years, and he is still my mentor.”

Andrew Hamar (Wales) - All American Wake Forest University

Raphael Maurer is somebody who I have worked with for several years, traveling around the USA playing ITF's and Futures for a couple of months in 2003. He helped me obtain my first ATP point whilst traveling together, in only my 4th future, and similarly helped me make into Orange Bowl in my final year as a junior. Even though I am 5000 miles away, we still talk regularly and he still helps me with my game. In terms of coaching, I have never met somebody as positive and uplifting, and I can honestly say he boosted my performance significantly, working not only my technical and tactical game, but also my mental approach to tennis. It's an impressive feat when somebody is able to manage this in my opinion. As I soon graduate from Wake Forest University having made the last 16 in all Americans and been ranked as high as 35, I hope to continue working with Raphael in whatever aspect he is able to help. Ever since he worked with me since he coached me at Van Der Meer tennis academy he has always been a coach whom I have high regard for both on and off the tennis court, as he works his players hard in both areas. It has always been the utmost pleasure to work with Raphael Maurer.

Ronald Chow (HKG) – US College Student Athlete Scholarship Recipient, former HK Top Ranked Junior and ITF World Ranked player.

“Benny came to Hong Kong 5 years ago. He was the head coach of the junior squad. I was one of his students in the past. He started teaching the Talent Group and the National Training Squad and I was one of the team members at that time. Benny is a coach who is very good at analyzing ones’ tennis ability and skills. He was able to see what I was doing wrong and what I needed to work the most. He was very motivating to me and has been an inspiration in my previous 5 years of tennis. Benny has been such a great mentor to me not just on the court, but off the court as well. He has taught me how to become more of a mature person. Benny was one of the main reasons that I was able to obtain a scholarship from Azusa Pacific University. Benny has helped me to develop a strong work ethic on and off the court. He has helped me to develop strong relationships with other team members. He has helped motivate me to become a better person, in terms of relating to other people. I have learned also to work hard on the track and in the weight room to help improve my game. There are still many things I can learn from Benny due to his good values and character.”

Zhang Ling (HKG)) -ITF World Junior Ranking No. 18

"I would like to say how much I have appreciated Raphael's coaching during these few years. With his help, I made big improvements not only on technical skills but also learned how to train physically, take good care of my body, and be stronger mentally. He always deeply understands what the players need during daily practices of the game. In addition, he really cares about players and has a lot of respect for them and what they think. I believe he will have a great contribution to the local development of tennis."

Drew Daniel ( USA ) – Former Under 14 USA National Champion, ITF World Ranking of 61.

“I met Raphael in Kansas City when he was coaching at a local country club. I started working with Raphael when I was thirteen years old. Raphael was incredibly good at picking out my weaknesses and not only working the physical aspects of my game but also the mental side. He improved my work ethic on and off the court. I have worked with Raphael when I was a top USTA player and then again as a top 100 ITF player. I believe he is very knowledgeable as a high level coach and was a great guy to work with.”

Gilbert Wong (HKG) – US College Student Athlete Scholarship Recipient, former HK Top Ranked Junior and ITF World Ranked player.

“It is my great pleasure to write about my coach, Benny Lin. Benny was one of the best coaches in my tennis career. His training program was very professional that had rectified my weaknesses and built up my toughness attitude. He was patient and friendly coach who treated everybody the same. Until now, Benny’s words and advices are still in my mind. These words are very useful in my character development as a successful person and a professional tennis player. Besides, he helped me to contact coaches in the States to get scholarship in universities even though after I was promoted to the Sports Institute. I have learnt to be mature under Benny’s leadership and I am very happy to be one of his students and to have Benny as my mentor.”

Leung Lok Sze (HKG) – No. 1 in Under 14 Girls’ Division and World Junior Team player.

"I was under the coaching by Benny since I was 10. He first gave me an impression that he was very disciplined, serious, tough and rarely smiled. But after a few months, I realized that he was a very warm-hearted and caring person. When we went to the U.S. during summer in 2003 for a month participating in some local tournaments, he worked so hard that he had only few hours of sleep every night. He was the driver, tour guide, coach and baby sitter. I was very impressed by his hard work and dedication to Hong Kong junior tennis development. Throughout these years, he taught me many things about tennis, but I consider the most important two things are "never give up fighting spirit" and "respectable sportsmanship". By the way, he still owes me some ice cream."

Geraldine Leong (HKG) – CRC Girls’ Singles Champion and Junior Fed Cup World Finals player.

“Benny was a total stranger to me about 5 years ago. But I soon got to know him well through Talent Group, a training program he started through Hong Kong Tennis Association. He is easy-going and humorous... that is when it is not fitness time. He is extremely tough during fitness time, and never lets us get away with it. But that was how I grew stronger physically and mentally, and there were huge improvements, and it had definitely shown through my match play. As time went by, he arranged all sorts of programs, enabling us to broaden our vision in the tennis world – from hard courts in the US to clay courts in Spain, it was a marvelous experience. Benny is a coach that cares about and is supportive of our tennis developments. During the Fed Cup competition, I could not have asked for a better captain as he pushed all of us to our limits, and we achieved the unthinkable. I believe he is definitely the coach all players are looking for if you have the passion for tennis!”

Angelique Widjaja

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Angelique Widjaja (born 12 December 1984 in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia) is an Indonesian tennis player.

Widjaja's highest WTA rankings have been No. 55 in singles and No. 15 in doubles. She was the highest-ranked Indonesian player in 2004, and also participated at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.

She became the first Indonesian to win a Wimbledon title when she defeated Dinara Safina (sister of men’s player Marat Safin) 6–4, 0–6, 7–5 to claim the junior girls title in 2001.

The same year she became the lowest-ranked and youngest player to claim a WTA singles title when she won the Wismilak Open in Bali before she turned 17. Her ranking has since jumped up, and by the following year she was already in Top 100 (senior). However, she still played in the junior circuit for the first half of 2002, and clinched two more girls' grand slam titles (Australian Open doubles with Gisela Dulko and French Open singles).

At the US Open 2002, she beat Anna Kournikova at the first round, 6–3 6–0, in only 44 minutes.

Unfortunately, injuries have affected her performance in 2004, and forced her to withdraw from tennis until 2006. Her comeback was not very successful, however, although she did manage to reach Top 100 for doubles.^{[citation needed]}

The Women's Tennis Association, formed in 1973, is the principal organizing body of women's professional tennis. It organizes the WTA Tour, the worldwide professional tennis tour for women, which has for sponsorship reasons been known since 2005 as The Sony Ericsson WTA Tour. Its counterpart organization in the men's professional game is the ATP.

The Women's Tennis Association can trace its origins back to Houston, Texas when the inaugural Virginia Slims event was won on 23 September 1970. Billie Jean King was a major figure in the early days of the WTA.

[edit] Tournament categories

The WTA divides the main women's tournaments into several tiers:

1. Grand Slam Events (4)
2. Season-ending championships (Sony Ericsson Championships): with Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) prize money.
3. Tier tournaments:
   1. Tier I (minimum prize money of $1,340,000): There are ten (10) Tier I Tournaments.
   2. Tier II (minimum prize money of $600,000): There are sixteen (16) Tier II Tournaments.
   3. Tier III(minimum prize money of $175,000): There are seventeen (17) Tournaments in this Tier.
   4. Tier IV (minimum prize money of $145,000): There are twelve (12) Tournaments in this Tier.

Ranking points are also available at certain International Tennis Federation (ITF) events below Tier IV (see next section).

[edit] Ranking

The organization releases a weekly ranking of the players's performance in the tour. Players' ranking points are counted how they fare on individual rounds of a tournament (round points). The following table gives the distribution of "round points" (note that these values were changed for the 2007 season):

A player's point total is calculated on a weekly basis, counting only tournaments played within the last year. The top 17 tournaments of the past year count toward a player's point total, with the lowest of the player's scores being dropped from the total. The exceptions are the four grand slam tournaments and the mandatory Tier I tournament, which always count toward the player's point total, even if their score in the slam is lower than another score achieved in a non-slam tournament. All players who qualify by ranking for acceptance into the main draw of a Grand Slam or the mandatory Tier I tournament will be entered automatically. Any player who is accepted into one of these tournaments and subsequently withdraws will automatically receive zero points for the tournament and will have it count as one of their best 17 tournament results.

In 1996, the WTA started awarding players "quality points", which were calculated based on the rankings of players they defeated in tournaments. This would give more points to a player who beat a top ranked player than one who beat a lower ranked player. Quality points were discontinued after the 2005 season and are no longer used.
