Even the bathroom has been converted to a display room, with dozens of vintage ball cans lining the walls, and shelves with binders of photos, U.S. Open programs and copies of World Tennis magazine from the 1960s. In a room lined with workbenches and tool racks, dozens of antique rackets are temporarily stowed under a finishing table. Dozens of boxed tennis items were shelved near a midcentury modern coffee table and an 18th-century secretary that were being restored. Last weekend, the Tennis Collectors of America visited the shop as part of their annual meeting in New York City. “There are very few collections like this one and they’re almost all in private houses and most are not displayed like this,” said one member, Richard A. Hillway, a tennis historian.
