Fred Perry, three-time Wimbledon champion in the 1930s, was one of
Britain's greatest sportsmen of the 20th century. His success on
the hallowed Wimbledon turf went unmatched by a British man for a
remarkable 77 years, until Andy Murray's triumph in 2013. Perry was
the first player to hold all four Grand Slam titles, and he also
played a pivotal role in Great Britain's domination of the Davis
Cup in the mid-1930s. Despite his status as a global sports
celebrity, Perry was criticised for his ruthless desire to win and
was frequently at odds with the amateur tennis authorities of the
day. In this revealing biography, award-winning historian Kevin
Jefferys examines afresh the life and career of Britain's most
successful tennis star. The author shows how good fortune as well
as tremendous talent aided Perry's meteoric rise to the top; traces
his frosty relationship with the British tennis establishment,
which continued after he turned professional in 1936; and considers
Perry's place among the true legends of the sport.
