From stately lawns and gentlemen players to Andre Agassi and Venus Williams: 65 great writings on tennis that chronicle the transformation of the sport.Since its inception, tennis has embraced traditions more patrician than plebeian. But timesand tennishave changed. The game once reserved for royalty has moved from estate lawns to the concrete courts of the city. Old guard amateurs have given way to prodigies plastered with corporate logos. And while barriers of gender, race, and class have been shattered, the modern plagues of selfpromotion, the paparazzi, and challengers of everescalating talent loom large.In The Right Set, awardwinning novelist and editor Caryl Phillips presents a collection of writings on the remarkable evolution of a gentleman's pastime into a sport of jetset players of athletic and psychological genius. Here are the stories of champions, from the Renshaw twins to 'ghetto Cinderella' Venus Williams. Here, too, are volleys between tradition and innovationdebates on everything from etiquette and earnings to Andr Agassi's rejection of the customary tennis whites. Insightful, informative, wonderfully entertaining, The Right Set is as colorful and surprising as the game itself.John McPhee on Ashe vs. GraebnerDavid Higdon on Venus WilliamsJames Thurber on Helen WillsMartina Navratilova on Bad LosersMartin Amis on Smashing the Racketsand more
