LORD ABERDARE, 4th Baron, was a Conservative minister in the early 1970s and a fine athlete who excelled in racket sports. Lord Aberdare was a lifelong devotee of real tennis, winning the British amateur singles championship four times between 1953 and 1957, and the amateur doubles championship four times between 1954 and 1961. He served as president of the Tennis and Rackets Association from 1972 until 2004. During his tenure there was a significant expansion in both real tennis and rackets, and a number of new courts were built while several others were re-opened. His book is the most comprehensive modern reference for these sports.

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting.
