The game of tennis remains a vibrant sport with tremendous worldwide appeal. Grand Slam events are played on three continents, champions are from a multitude of countries, and the International Tennis Federation (ITF) operates in 202 countries around the world. According to the United States Tennis Association (USTA), 15 million Americans play the game "frequently." Tennis Magazine enjoys a circulation of 700,000 and The Tennis Channel is expanding into cable television markets. 101 Great Moments in Tennis is a compilation of the sport's most spectacular, uplifting and unexpected moments. Included are Arthur Ashe's emotional victory at Wimbledon, John McEnroe's dramatic loss in the greatest match ever played, and The Battle of the Sexes - when a man and a woman faced off against one another before a worldwide audience. The vast majority of tennis books address the "how
to" of the game and the recent #1 success of John McEnroe's biography,
You Cannot Be Serious, proves there is a thirst for a colorful
chronicling of this long illustrious sport. 101 Great Moments in
Tennis spans three centuries of the scandalous, absurd and sublime.
