Grammar
Typo; before and after ~
This paragraph describes a cause and effect relationship. It explains how players such as Maurice McLoughlin helped change the face of tennis. Because that cause and effect relationship is central to explaining the main idea expressed in sentence 1, it is included in our notes. But the paragraph also contrasts tennis before and after players like mike Maurice McLoughlin entered the game.

I'd like to know if "face" is a typo of "fate," and if here "before" and "after" are conjunction.
Thank you in advance for your help.

However, looking at this again, there is a slight wrinkle because "before and after players like Maurice McLoughlin entered the game" modifies "tennis", rather than stating when "the paragraph also contrasts tennis" occurs, which would be the normal function of the conjunctions.
