Hardback version featuring manicured playing lawns. Royal patronage. Dapper white sporting apparel. There is no spectator event quite like wimbledon.
For more than a century, tennis' most legendary players - among them Roger Federer, Martina Navratilova, Boris Becker, Pete Sampras, Helen Wills Moody and Fred Perry- have gracefully volleyed their way to glory on the hallowed grounds of the All England Club. But it is also on this same turf that some of the game's finest have faltered, often because they were unable to master the very thing that gave lawn tennis its name - the grass. The only grand slam tournament still played on the game's original surface, Wimbledon has become much of a showcase of British culture and tradition as it is an elite sporting event.
Wimbledon: 101 Reasons to Love the Greatest Tournament in Tennis is a pictorial history of he tournament's 133 years. It pairs classic sports photography with fascinating facts, stats and trivia in 128 pages and 120 colour and black-and-white photographs.
8' x 7' Dimensions. Hardback with jacket.
