The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Tennis : The Definitive Illustrated Guide to World Tennis (Rev. ed.)

"The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Tennis" is a comprehensive, illustrated work of reference on the most popular racquet sport.

What started off as a game played by the nineteenth-century's leisured classes grew rapidly in the twentieth century to become one of the fastest and most thrilling sports on the planet today.

High energy, non-stop action and serves searing across the net in excess of 140 mph combine to keep millions of tennis fans on the edge of their seats.

With sponsors such as Nike, adidas, Mercedes Benz and Sony Ericsson queuing up to be associated with this truly global sport, tennis is experiencing a boom in popularity with, for once, both the men's and women's circuits attracting equal attention among fans.
