• Tennis

• Author Victoria Sherrow
• Published by Lucent Books

Once a somewhat genteel pastime favored by the "country-club set," tennis has become a fast-paced sport that is popular with players and spectators around the world. Top players can compete for lucrative prizes in numerous professional events held throughout the year.

Review:

"Starting with facts about the medieval roots of the game, this book is filled with information about the history of the sport... Topics discussed include the growth of tennis in different countries, its competitive and recreational aspects, and female and African-American representation... Average-quality, black-and-white reproductions and photographs appear throughout."
