Description

Christine Truman to Serve by Christine Truman Janes is a memoir that recounts her remarkable journey in tennis. Born in 194 and raised in Woodford Green, Essex, Truman's early ambitions were focused on following in the footsteps of her older siblings. Instead, she achieved great success, including a world ranking of No.2 at just 18 years old in 1959. Truman's achievements on the court are impressive, with wins at Wimbledon and the Grand Slam title in Paris at 18, making her the youngest British player to achieve this feat since the war. Her record-breaking performance as the youngest British semi-finalist at Wimbledon remains unchanged to this day. This memoir offers a unique insight into Truman's life, both on and off the court, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of tennis in the 1950s and 1960s.
