Tennis is the great common denominator of our time. In 100 Years of Tennis at the Hotel del Coronado author Ben Press shares memories, photographs and anecdotes from a vigorous array of presidents, athletes, movie stars and celebrities, all caught trying to find a better way to hit the tennis ball. The setting for this memoir is right out of Camelot, Shangri-La or the Garden of Eden. There, poised between the roaring Pacific Ocean and the elegant Victorian Hotel del Coronado, the scene plays out over the period of a century, and Ben Press captures it all as articulately and crisply as a well hit topspin backhand.
