ABSTRACT:
A tennis score keeper and display device includes an elongated support pole, a pair of attachment brackets mounted at locations spaced from one another along the support pole and being adapted to secure the support pole to and alongside a tennis net support post, and a score display mast mounted to an upper end of the support pole. The mast has a pair of opposite vertical end portions and a pair of opposite vertical side portions extending between and interconnecting the opposite end portions. A row of vertically spaced numbers are defined on each of the opposite vertical side portions of the score display mast. A row of vertically spaced pockets are defined on each of the opposite vertical end portions of the score display mast. The pockets in one row thereof on one opposite vertical end portion of the mast are horizontally aligned with the pockets in the other row thereof on the other opposite vertical end portion and are horizontally aligned with the numbers in the rows thereof on the opposite vertical side portions of the mast. Each pocket is recessed into a respective one of the vertical end portions and has opposite open sides and an open end to receive and hold a tennis ball therein to serve as a marker of one of the vertically spaced numbers to indicate a score corresponding to the one number. The open sides and end of each pocket permits the tennis ball to be visible within a viewing angle including substantially the opposite vertical side portion and one opposite vertical end portion of the mast.
