Winner of the 2019 PEN/ESPN Award for Literary Sports WritingThe Circuit is the best sports book I've read in years, maybe ever. Rich Cohen, author of The Chicago Cubs and MonstersAs sports writing goes, The Circuit is unusual in the very best way. Rowan Ricardo Phillips writes with such fluidity, and packs the book with bursts of brilliance. This is a compulsively readable guide to one truly Homeric year of professional tennis. John Green, author of The Fault in Our StarsAn energetic, lyrical, genredefying account of the 2017 tennis season.In The Circuit: A Tennis Odyssey, the awardwinning poetand Paris Review sports columnistRowan Ricardo Phillips chronicles 2017 as seen through the unique prism of its pivotal, revelatory, and historic tennis season. The annual tennis schedule is a rarity in professional sports in that it encapsulates the calendar year. And like the year, its divided into four seasons, each marked by a final tournament: the Grand Slams.Phillips charts the year from winters Australian Open, where Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal renewed their rivalry in a match for the ages, to falls U.S. Open. Along the way, Phillips paints a new, vibrant portrait of tennis, one that captures not only the emotions, nerves, and ruthless tactics of the pointbypoint game but also the quicksilver movement of victory and defeat on the tour, placing that sense of upheaval within a broader cultural and social context. Tennis has long been thought of as an escapist spectacle: a bucolic, separate bauble of life.The Circuit will convince you that you dont leave the world behind as you watch tennisyou bring it with you.
