Description

Greg Ruth is an independent scholar.

"Tennis finally has its long-awaited master narrative. Based on prodigious research, Greg Ruth's well-written, analytical history of the game stands alone. Neither followers of tennis history nor students of the role of sports in modern times can be without this superb book."--Benjamin G. Rader, author of Baseball: A History of America's Game, Fourth Edition "This book is for tennis pros, serious amateurs, hackers, lovers of the game, and anyone interested in sport history. Greg Ruth shows us how tennis evolved from England's royal court to L.A.'s public courts to the U.S. Open's billionaire courts. Featuring big personalities and terrific storytelling, Tennis shows us how and why the game evolved over the years. This is excellent sport history."--Elliott J. Gorn, coauthor of A Brief History of American Sports, Second Edition
