In this hugely entertaining collection of stories taken from over a hundred years of world tennis history, award-winning sports historian Peter Seddon has gathered together the most extraordinary events ever to occur on a tennis court.
The most extraordinary events ever to occur on a tennis cour include the Wimbledon final between the tea-drinking vicar and a convicted murderer, and the "Match of the Century" between the "Women''s Libber" and the "Male Chauvinist Pig." There are matches played on board ship and on the wings of an airborne plane, and a player who played an entire match while carrying someone piggy-back.
