Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In 2008 Wimbledon was a stage set for an epic battle and a rivalry as dramatic as that of Ali-Frazier, Palmer-Nicklaus, and McEnroe-Borg. Five-time champion, Roger Federer, was on track to take his rightful place as the greatest tennis player ever. But in the last few minutes of daylight after a glorious festival of tennis, a coronation was witnessed that was not the heir apparent, but instead the swashbuckling, 22-year-old Nadal.The match had been a four-hour, forty-eight minute informercial for everything that is right about tennis: a festival of skill, accuracy, grace, strength, speed, endurance and determination. In this fascinating recreation of the game, Wertheim follows Nadal from his cold pre-match shower and insistence on carrying his tennis racket (though surrendering his bag to be carried) onto the court, and a very different, calm, Kit-Kat-eating Federer strolling on in his limited edition cardigan. Not just a battle of two of the greatest tennis players ever, it was a battle of two very different characters. Strokes of Genius deconstructs this defining moment in sport, using the match as the backbone of a provocative, thoughtful, and entertaining look at the science, art, psychology, technology, strategy, and personality that go into a single tennis match. For fans of the art of amazing competition in sport, this is a compelling study of the mechanics and art of a legendary game. L. Jon Wertheim is a senior writer for Sports Illustrated and the author of five books. His work has been featured in The Best American Sports Writing numerous times. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
