Tennis history is filled with unusual, bizarre, and unbelievable
stories. "Tennis's Most Wanted(TM)" chronicles 700 of the most
outrageous players, coaches, and officials in tennis history. Its
seventy lists describe in detail tennis's colorful characters,
surprising matches, inept players, bizarre nicknames, outrageous
outfits, embarrassing losses, errant shots, terrible tantrums, and
more. Only here will you learn that Joshua Pim won Wimbledon in
1893 and 1894 under an assumed name because he was afraid that
being a tennis player would hurt his medical practice. Frank
Riesley and Sydney Smith settled their 1904 Wimbledon semifinal
match by flipping a coin. M. H. de Amorin served seventeen
consecutive double faults in a 1937 match at Wimbledon. Renee
Richards played in the 1955 U.S. Open as a man and, after a
sex-change operation, as a woman in 1975. W. C. Fields played
tennis with a racket in one hand and a martini in the other. Tony
Pickard lost a match at the Italian Open when a linesman left to
buy ice cream. "Gorgeous Gussy" Moran did a striptease at a press
conference, and Pat Stewart wrote her phone number on her panties
for the 1961 Wimbledon. You can find all this and more in "Tennis's
Most Wanted(TM)"
