Publisher's Note Everyone who thrills to a good match and delights in good writing will love this dazzling anthology of the best tennis ever played in literature. If any sport is a metaphor for our complicated human existence, tennis is. The cumulative effect of these stories is to see life through tennis, and to see tennis itself portrayed more beautifully than ever before.
Industry Reviews "...this superb anthology collects exceptional writing about tennis, including a brilliant story by William Trevor, a tour-de-force poem by Robert Pinsky, and a nostalgic fantasy by Bill Tilden himself....Although the book's obvious appeal is to people who know and care about the game, it will also be a delight--and perhaps a surprise--to those who know and care about literature."
