Does anyone know what started the fad of male models posing with tennis rackets?

It was the 60's and 70s, peace love and political freedom. Sports was becoming a huge industry... and women were goo goo eyed over guys like John McEnroe, Arthur Ash, Bjorn Borg.. a  very sexy swedish tennis player..  very athletic and handsome... It was at the height of the sexual revolution.... the age of short shorts, and muscles... Arnold playing tennis was a huge turn on for women all over the world.. LOL.. I'm sure the industry was making hand over fist money! I can remember watching the olympic tennis matches and swooning myself.. and even feeling embarrassed because I was looking at all those handsome men in all their glory.. Holy moley It was a huge time in the world when people were feeling like it was ok to come out of the stone age and express their sexuality and to admit to the obvious attractions of the human body! I remember in early 70's the first time I was allowed to wear pants to school and then my first pair of white go go boots and a pair of brown velvet Hot pants my sister gave me.. I rocked them like a star! LOL Or ar least I thought I did! LOL
