With a foreword by Mary Carillo, experienced tennis writer Paul Fein has trawled through the tennis history books and written some fascinating stories about some of the all-time great tennis players of the 20th century.

The Greaat Debates include "Who is the greatest men's and women's player?", "Is on-court coaching good for tennis?", "Tennis vs. Golf", "Where have all the serve and volleyers gone?" and more.

In the second part, his essays include "Famous feuds in tennis history", "Andre Agassi: rebel with a cause", "When tennis players rocked", and in the third part, "Jim Courier from Dade City to Paris to Newport", "Martina Hingis the Spice Girl champion", "Stefan Edberg the gentleman champion", and "Gene Scott a pioneer and promoter who shaped open tennis".

This is a book into which you can dip at random and always find something to interest and educate you with regard to tennis.
