This book somehow succeeded in making me nostalgic for a time I never experienced. As a tennis player and fan, it gave me new insights into the origins of the modern game. Brimming with vivid accounts of practical jokes that made me feel familiar with players who are long gone. Left me thinking about what must have in some way been a purer era of tennis, uncomplicated by ranking points and million-dollar endorsement deals. They played for the love of the game and earned just enough to get to the next tournament. A truly fun trip back in time.
