Samenvatting:

A book about winning. Not just in tennis, but in life. Get into the brains of world class athletes. You will understand why when two physically equal players meet, one can beat the other. Get into their brains, their backgrounds, into the locker rooms at Wimbledon, Davis Cup and the public courts on which they started. Authors'generous and invaluable sources were Rod Laver, Ken Rosewall, Pancho Gonzales,Tony Trabert, Lew Hoad, John Newcombe, Fred Stolle, Arthur Ashe, Roger Taylor, Andres Gimeno, Tony Roche, Barry MacKay, Butch Buchholz, Mike Davies and Jack Kramer. In this book the reader will see the majesty of morality and the human spirit, the love between friends yet the willingness to kill on court to win…then carry the loser out on his shoulders.
