Download or read book The Golden Era written by Rod Laver and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 1950s to the 1970s, Australia was the world's tennis superpower, producing players who dominated amateur grand slam tournaments, the Davis Cup and the professional circuit, and none was more successful, famous or influential than Rod Laver, whose two singles Grand Slams - winning the Australian, French, Wimbledon and United States championships in a calendar year - have never been equalled.

As a participant and eye-witness, he captures the excitement and drama of the great wins, and gives us genuine insight into the band of supremely talented Australian champions who balanced playing hard with a legendary sportsmanship. Written with all of Rod's peerless tennis knowledge, and including key interviews with Frank Sedgman, Ken Rosewall, the late Lew Hoad, Neale Fraser, Mal Anderson, Ashley Cooper, Roy Emerson, Fred Stolle, John Newcombe and Margaret Court, The Golden Era is the definitive story of the two decades of Australian tennis domination that will almost certainly never be repeated.

Download or read book Rod Laver written by Rod Laver and published by Triumph Books. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rod Laver's memoir is the inspiring story of how a diminutive, left-handed, red-headed country boy from Rockhampton, Australia became one of sports' greatest champions. Rod was a dominant force in world tennis for almost two decades, playing and defeating some of the greatest players of the twentieth century. In 1962, Rod became the second man to win the Grand Slam - that is, winning the Australian, French, Wimbledon and US titles in a single calendar year. In 1969, he won it again, becoming the only player ever to win the Grand Slam twice. Laver's book is a wonderfully nostalgic journey into Laver's path to stardom, from the early days of growing up in a Queensland country town in the 1950s, to breaking into the amateur circuit, to the extraordinary highs of Grand Slam victories. Away from on-court triumphs, Rod also movingly writes about the life-changing stroke he suffered in 1998, and of his beloved wife of more than 40 years, Mary, who died in 2012 after a long illness. Filled with anecdotes about the great players and great matches, set against the backdrop of a tennis world changing from rigid amateurism to the professional game we recognize today, Rod's book is a warm, insightful and fascinating account of one of tennis's all-time greats.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For sheer strength of performance and accomplishment there has never been a tennis player to match Margaret Court" International Tennis Hall of Fame With 64 major grand slam titles to her name, Australian Margaret Court stands alone as the greatest tennis player of all time. Born in a country town to a hard-living father and a very protective mother, Margaret's first racquet was a timber paling and her first step on a tennis court was via a hole in the fence. Against all odds, she built an indomitable game based on speed, power and a fighting spirit. After a stellar 17-year career of 24 singles, 19 doubles and 21 mixed doubles titles, three Grand Slams (one in singles, two in mixed doubles) and seven individual years as world No.1, Margaret retired to be with her husband and children. Following a period of depression and seclusion, in 1991 she became an ordained minister. Today, 'Pastor Marg' preaches to thousands around the world and her charities feed, clothe and house many lost, homeless and hungry souls. This long-awaited autobiography explains what lit a fire in the poor girl from Albury to make her the most extraordinary champion tennis has ever seen and the proud woman she is today.
