Back cover:
In the French Open in 1989, a 17-year-old, Michael Chang, worked his way through the draw to the fourth round and ended up playing number one-seeded and three-time champion, Ivan Lendl. As the game progressed, the outlook was bleak for Chang, who lost the first two sets. However, he came back and won the second two to find himself serving at 4-3 in the fifth.

Then he did the unthinkable. He served underhand. Lendl was flustered, lost concentration, the crowd roared, and Chang went on to win the match.

And here, once more, is a revised collection of fascinating true stories from courts around the world; from outrageous outbursts to unexpected deaths.

A note from the author Josh Shifrin:
"Tennis has always been my passion. From playing to watching, I am truly consumed by every aspect of the game. Consequently, as I was writing 101 Incredible Moments in Tennis I considered it a labour of love, and as I look back on the experience I can honestly say I enjoyed every minute. However, as with any worthwhile endeavour, success is normally not achieved without the assistance of others. Such is the case with this book."
