The only time in the history of Wimbledon that the men's singles
final was not played is told in detail by the crowned champion in
this illuminating tennis biography. Sidney Wood won the 1931
Wimbledon title by default over Frank Shields - his school buddy,
doubles partner, roommate, and Davis Cup team-mate - in one of the
most curious episodes in sports history. Wood tells the tale of how
Shields was ordered by the U.S. Tennis Association not to compete
in the championship match so that he could rest his injured knee in
preparation for an upcoming Davis Cup match. Three years later the
story continues when he and Shields played a match at the Queen's
Club for the Wimbledon trophy. Also included are a compilation of
short stories that deliver fascinating anecdotes of the 1930s and a
signature document of the play and styles of 20th-century tennis
legends.
