Amusing and informative for readers of all ages, this fascinating compilation of tennis lore and legend was written by an undefeated Davis Cup champion. In addition to its intrinsic interest to players and followers of the game, its citations from rare documents, scrupulous accuracy, and 29 antique illustrations make it a valuable reference and historical record. The author blends fact with humor and philosophy to recount the origins of the game, the genesis of its name, uses of the terms and equipment, scoring methods, and other practical and historical elements.
