MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Walking the hallowed grounds of the All England Lawn & Tennis Club in London does not evoke the same emotions for former University of Memphis standout Joe Salisbury as it might for a first-time visitor.
How could it?
Salisbury grew up 10 minutes from the club, where the sport's premier event, Wimbledon, is played every summer. Known as the sport's mecca -- a place where legends are born and history is made – it also is familiar to Salisbury. He made frequent visits to the tournament in his youth. He attended school in the area.
