Description
John McPhee's account of a tennis match between Arthur Ashe and Clark Graebner at Forest Hills in 1968 is a masterful, stroke-by-stroke description of the game.
As McPhee examines the backgrounds and attitudes that have shaped the players' games, the match unfolds in vivid detail, from the initial serve to the final point.
This gripping narrative has been praised as a high point of American sports journalism, offering a unique insight into the world of professional tennis.
