A wonderful exploration into the idea of sporting obsession- and a fantastic addition to the Yellow Jersey On series.
Tim Adams has been an editor at Granta and literary editor of the Observer, where he now writes full-time. An occasional tennis correspondent and scratchy parks player, he once lost in straight sets to Martin Amis and served a whole game of double faults to Annabel Croft. He lives in London.
Terrific...On one level, it's about the author's fascination with a
tennis player. But it's much more than this; it's a book about how
the world has changed in our lifetime
