AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Richard Naughton's second tennis title follows Ken Rosewall's ascent to glory--from early competitions and his year of glory in 1953, when we was a member of the Australian LTAA touring team--to his emergence on the pro tennis scene and eight grand slam tournament victories. Recounted in part by Rosewall himself and extensively researched by Naughton, the book provides a fascinating snapshot of the worldwide tennis scene in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, and is accompanied by photographs from Rosewall's personal collection.
