Book excerpt: All the passion, drama, and beauty of tennis is captured in this most up-to-date comprehensive history--from its early beginnings as a sport, the greatest matches ever played, to its global star players and personalities of present day. This volume is a must-read for tennis aficionados. Tennis, the much-loved sport, is a game for the ages dating back to sixteenth-century royal court matches played by King Henry VIII. History of Tennis captures the sport's long history, never short of theatrics, rivalries, power plays, political controversies, and inspiring personal stories. Beautiful historic and contemporary images of gripping matches like the unforgettable Bjorn Borg versus John McEnroe tiebreak match in 1980, to behind-the-scenes moments with tennis legends, and never-before-seen shots, grace each page accompanied by Richard Evans's intriguing stories and unique insight detailing the evolution of this majestic sport by decade. Starting as a European royal pastime and gaining popularity in England and France, the sport made its way to America in the late 1870s as the new game of lawn tennis, creating along the centuries legendary tennis superstars such as Bill Tilden, Suzanne Lenglen and the Four Musketeers, Fred Perry, Billie Jean King, John McEnroe, and Steffi Graf. Now one of the most highly watched sports globally with top-billing icons like Novak Djokovic, Serena Williams, Rafael Nadal, and Naomi Osaka, there is no stopping the power of this allenthralling game. This is a must-have volume for lifelong fans and those intrigued by the sporting theater and grand culture of tennis.

Download or read book American Colossus written by Allen M. Hornblum and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey, Bobby Jones, and Bill Tilden were the legendary quartet of the "Golden Age of Sports" in the 1920s. They transformed their respective athletic disciplines and captured the imagination of a nation. The indisputable force behind the emergence of professional tennis as a popular and lucrative sport, Tilden's on-court accomplishments are nothing short of staggering. The first American‑born player to win Wimbledon and a seven‑time winner of the U.S. singles championship, he was the number 1 ranked player for ten straight years. A tall, flamboyant player with a striking appearance, Tilden didn't just play; he performed with a singular style that separated him from other top athletes. Tilden was a showman off the court as well. He appeared in numerous comedies and dramas on both stage and screen and was a Renaissance man who wrote more than two dozen fiction and nonfiction books, including several successful tennis instructions books. But Tilden had a secret--one he didn't fully understand himself. After he left competitive tennis in the late 1940s, he faced a lurid fall from grace when he was arrested after an incident involving an underage boy in his car. Tilden served seven months in prison and later attempted to explain his questionable behavior to the public, only to be ostracized from the tennis circuit. Despite his glorious career in tennis, his final years were much constrained and lived amid considerable public shunning. Tilden's athletic accomplishments remain, as he is arguably the best American player ever. American Colossus is a thorough account of his life, bringing a much-needed look back at one of the world's greatest athletes and a person whose story is as relevant as ever.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Tennis Mr. P. A. Vaile has asked me to introduce his book on Tennis to amateur players of this delightful game. I will do it simply and without any pretense to style, for I must confess that I feel much more at home with a racket in my hand than with a pen between my fingers. I do not know whether you have noticed how few and far between are the books on games that really deserve the name and that treat authoritatively and in a competent manner the various rules governing the particular game under discussion. As a rule, one encounters no more than the enthusiastic descriptions of amateurs, sincere enough, doubtless, in themselves, but lacking the technical knowledge that is absolutely indispensable if the presentation of the subject is to be at all convincing. Or again, one happens upon long scientific treatises by experts who, with the figures at their fingers' ends, give one the trajectory described in space, for instance, by a football, or, in the case of a quoit hurled by a strong effort, curves of exceptional accuracy but practically no value as creators of enthusiasm. It is rarely, indeed, that we get the practical side of things, which alone really interests the player. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
