Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book delves into the rich history of tennis, tracing its evolution from a 12th-century French game played in monasteries to a favored pastime of European aristocracy by the 16th century. It highlights the game's cultural significance, including its influence on Renaissance literature. After a decline, tennis reemerged in the 1870s as lawn tennis, simplifying rules and court requirements. The sport's growth continued with the establishment of iconic events like Wimbledon and the Davis Cup, marking its global spread and enduring popularity.
