Book excerpt: THE BIOGRAPHY OF ROGER FEDERER: One of the greatest tennis players in history. He holds the record for most Grand Slam men's singles championships at 20. BY PRIME PUBLISHERS One of the Greatest Tennis Players in History. Deemed by pundits as the greatest tennis player of all time, Roger Federer is known for his speed, fluid play, and exceptional shot-making. His powerful smashes, excellent footwork, and efficient technique not only made him win several matches, but create history as well. He holds the record for being the only player to hold the number one position for 302 weeks overall, out of which he held the position for 237 consecutive weeks from 2004 to 2008. He remained in the top two positions for eight consecutive years. He then held the top three positions from 2003 to 2012. He has the distinction of being one amongst the eight tennis players in the world to have a career 'Grand Slam.' Furthermore, he has won a total of 20 'Grand Slam' titles till date. He is also the proud recipient of Olympic gold and silver medal for doubles and singles respectively. Tennis star Roger Federer was brought into the world on August 8, 1981, in Basel, Switzerland, to Swiss dad Robert Federer and South African mother Lynette Du Rand. Federer's folks met while on an excursion for work for a drug organization, where the two of them worked. Federer looked into sports at an early age, playing tennis and soccer at eight years old. By age 11, he was among the Top 3 junior tennis major parts in Switzerland. At age 12, he chose to stop different games and spotlight every one of his endeavors on tennis, which he believed he dominated at all the more normally. By 14, he was completely inundated in the game, playing a few competitions each month and rehearsing six hours per week, alongside as long as three hours of molding. To consummate his strategy, he regularly imitated his golden calves, Boris Becker and Stefan Edberg. At age 14, Federer turned into the public junior hero in Switzerland and was picked to prepare at the Swiss National Tennis Center in Ecublens. He joined the International Tennis Federation junior tennis circuit in July 1996 and had his first sponsorship by age 16. In 1998, presently before he turned master, Federer won the lesser Wimbledon title and the Orange Bowl. He was perceived as the ITF World Junior Tennis boss of the year.

Download or read book You Cannot Be Serious written by John McEnroe and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2002-06-10 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A no-holds-barred, intimate memoir by John McEnroe—the bad boy of professional tennis. John McEnroe stunned the tennis elite when he came out of nowhere to make the Wimbledon semifinals at the age of eighteen—and just a few years later, he was ranked number one in the world. You Cannot Be Serious is McEnroe at his most personal, an intimate examination of Johnny Mac, the kid from Queens, and his “wild ride” through the world of professional tennis at a boom time when players were treated like rock stars. In this “bracing serve-and-volley autobiography” (The Boston Globe) he candidly explores the roots of his famous on-court explosions; his ambivalence toward the sport that made him famous; his adventures (and misadventures) on the road; his views of colleagues from Connors to Borg to Lendl; his opinions of contemporary tennis; his marriages to actress Tatum O'Neal and pop star Patty Smyth; and his roles as husband, father, senior tour player, and often-controversial commentator.

Download or read book Serve to Win written by Novak Djokovic and published by Zinc Ink. This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Novak Djokovic reveals the gluten-free diet and fitness plan that transformed his health and pushed him to the pinnacle. In 2011, Novak Djokovic had what sportswriters called the greatest single season ever by a professional tennis player: He won ten titles, three Grand Slams, and forty-three consecutive matches. Remarkably, less than two years earlier, this champion could barely complete a tournament. How did a player once plagued by aches, breathing difficulties, and injuries on the court suddenly become the #1 ranked tennis player in the world? The answer is astonishing: He changed what he ate. In Serve to Win, Djokovic recounts how he survived the bombing of Belgrade, Serbia, rising from a war-torn childhood to the top tier of his sport. While Djokovic loved and craved bread and pasta, and especially the pizza at his family’s restaurant, his body simply couldn’t process wheat. Eliminating gluten—the protein found in wheat—made him feel instantly better, lighter, clearer, and quicker. As he continued to research and refine his diet, his health issues disappeared, extra pounds dropped away, and his improved physical health and mental focus allowed him to achieve his two childhood dreams: to win Wimbledon, and to become the #1 ranked tennis player in the world. Now Djokovic has created a blueprint for remaking your body and your life in just fourteen days. With weekly menus, mindful eating tips for optimal digestion, and delicious, easy-to-prepare recipes, you’ll be well on your way to shedding extra weight and finding your way to a better you. Djokovic also offers tips for eliminating stress and simple exercises to get you revved up and moving, the very same ones he does before each match. You don’t need to be a superstar athlete to start living and feeling better. With Serve to Win, a trimmer, stronger, healthier you is just two weeks away.

Download or read book Strokes of Genius written by L. Jon Wertheim and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2009-06-01 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The executive editor of Sports Illustrated offers an in-depth analysis and behind-the-scenes look at the historic 2008 match between tennis titans. In the 2008 Wimbledon men’s final, Centre Court was a stage set worthy of Shakespearean drama. Five-time champion Roger Federer was on track to take his rightful place as the most dominant player in the history of the game. He just needed to cling to his trajectory. So, in the last few moments of daylight, Centre Court witnessed a coronation. Only it wasn’t a crowning for the Swiss heir apparent but for a swashbuckling Spaniard. Twenty-two-year-old Rafael Nadal prevailed, in five sets, in what was, according to the author, “essentially a four-hour, forty-eight-minute infomercial for everything that is right about tennis—a festival of skill, accuracy, grace, strength, speed, endurance, determination, and sportsmanship.” It was also the encapsulation of a fascinating rivalry, hard fought and of historic proportions. In the tradition of John McPhee’s classic Levels of the Game, Strokes of Genius deconstructs this defining moment in sport, using that match as the backbone of a provocative, thoughtful, and entertaining look at the science, art, psychology, technology, strategy, and personality that go into a single tennis match. With vivid, intimate detail, Wertheim re-creates this epic battle in a book that is both a study of the mechanics and art of the game and the portrait of a rivalry as dramatic as that of Ali–Frazier, Palmer–Nicklaus, and McEnroe–Borg. “Deftly touches on all the defining factors of contemporary tennis.” —San Francisco Chronicle “Illuminates a kingdom changing hands. An engrossing book.” —Bud Collins
