The Bud Collins History of Tennis by Bud Collins
Compiled by some of the most famous tennis journalist and historian in the world, this book presents a compilation of historical tennis information, including year-by-year recaps of every tennis season, biographical sketches of every major tennis personality, as well as stats, records, and championship rolls for all the major events.
Not only provides us with accurate reporting of the rich tennis history, it keeps us current on the progress of the sport today--Billy Jean King, tennis player and founder of the Women's Tennis Association If you know nothing about tennis, this book is for you. And if you know everything about tennis--hah!--Bud knows more, so this book is for you too. --Martina Navratilova, nine-time Wimbledon singles champion No tennis encyclopedia could be written by anyone but Bud Collins because Bud Collins is the walking tennis encyclopedia--the game's barefoot professor. The only thing missing about the sport from his new edition is a section about Bud himself. But everything else is there--and it's easy to open and use for the whole family. --Frank Deford, author, commentator, and Sports Illustrated contributor I wanted to see what size tennis shoe Ivan Lendl wore and I thought, 'Where the heck is my copy of The Bud Collins History of Tennis ?' --Don Imus, host, Imus in the Morning radio program
