Tennis : Secrets and Curiosities

This is not just a simple tennis book.

It’s a journey into the hidden heart of the white sport, where chalk lines conceal superstitions, scandals, impossible feats, and characters as eccentric as they are brilliant.

Discover who played wearing wigs, who practiced 2,500 shots a day since childhood, who released a black cat on the court to throw off their opponent… and what secret lies behind the strange scoring system that goes from 15 to 40.

Travel through matches that lasted for days, rackets thrown like javelins, 82-year-old ball boys, and the superstitions of the greatest tennis players.

It holds a fascinating collection of true stories hidden in locker rooms, in the shadows of the net, and in the most unexpected folds of tennis history.

If you love this sport or simply want to see its most surprising side, this book will make you see every point, every serve, and every victory shout with new eyes.

Tennis is not just a game—it’s a grand spectacle of secrets.
