Learn who liked to play without underpants, who never changes her socks, which player has been in and out of jail ... and which one became a nun. Complete with profiles of each of the four Grand Slam tournaments, as well as breakdowns of modern tennis’s most breathtaking matches and an insight into what being a champion is like off the court, this is a must-read for any fan who likes their tennis served with a laugh. The Grand Slams of Tennis are big in every way: they feature the most players and they fork out the most prize money; they have the shiniest trophies and the noisiest crowds. Factor in insane fans, legendary tempers and disintegrating wigs, and you’ve got everything you need for high drama on centre court.
