I had no idea what it was talking about and in order to find out I had to 1. Click the link, 2. search for a reference in the article to it 3. click to go to article about the History of tennis and 4. read the section there <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_tennis#Open_Era>... I worry that's going to be really confusing for people and the number of steps would cause many not to completely understand. Would people be happy with just saying "since 1968" ?
