Popis

Untold story of a British tennis number one who fell out with his contemporaries while coming tantalisingly close to winning Wimbledon. Roger Taylor’s extraordinary tale is a must-read for all tennis fans.

Written with renowned sports broadcaster Marcus Buckland, who currently hosts Amazon Prime Video''s ATP and WTA tennis coverage having previously been the ‘face’ of tennis on Sky Sports for 12 years.

In this intimate account, Roger shares the highs and lows of a dramatic career that brought success and heartache on and off court, including:

How this working-class lad from Sheffield reached three Wimbledon semi-finals and was twice US Open doubles championHow he found himself engulfed in controversy through his defiance of the 1973 Wimbledon boycott, which almost tore his world apartReflections on his near-misses at Wimbledon and his explosive clashes with a number of contemporariesHow, after becoming one of the ‘Handsome 8’, he reinvented himself as a pioneer of tennis holidays in the sun while coping with a number of personal issues

Now in his 80s, Roger has witnessed the transformation of tennis – from the days of Fred Perry to the Andy Murray era and beyond. Vilified by some but hugely respected by many more, he had to fight battles on and off court at a turbulent time in the history of tennis and went on to make his mark outside the sport as well.
