***Longlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2020***
***Financial Times, Best Sports Books of 2020*** Pristine lawns,
tennis whites, strawberries and cream, tennis is synonymous with
the upper echelons of society, but scratch beneath the surface and
you'll quickly discover a different history, one of untold
struggles on and off the courts. From the birth of modern tennis in
Victorian Britain to the present day, we bear witness to struggles
around sexuality, gender, race and class that have transformed the
nature of tennis and sport itself. A People's History of Tennis is
populated by diverse voices, recounting the sport's gay origins,
'Workers' Wimbledon', battles for gender equality and more. Going
beyond centre court, this book reveals the hidden history of the
game, providing a rich account of the challenges faced and
victories won.
