Inhalt
On the eve of World War II, with the Nazi flag fluttering over Wimbledon's Centre Court, America's tennis champion took on Germany's. This taccount uses the deciding 1937 Davis Cup match between Gottfried von Cramm and Don Budge to explore both the pre-topspin era of tennis and prewar international tension. Von Cramm emerges as an elegant resister to the Reich, a persecuted homosexual who is clearly more interesting to the author than the bland, prodigiously talented Budge. But the figure at the edge who overshadows the narrative, as he did the tennis world until the Open system began, in 1968, is Bill Tilden, Cramm's coach, a vain, theatrical box-office star who essentially invented the mid-century game.
