Frank Parker: Champion in the Golden Age of Tennis

Rating:
Summary: The Golden Era of Tennis
Review: I truly liked this book. The author does an excellent job of capturing the tennis world of yesteryear, when gentlemen players like Frank Parker were the norm and not the exception. The details of Parker's Davis Cup years are especially well presented. She also touches, clearly and without sentimentality, on the hoopla created by Parker's unconventional (for the times) marriage, as well as on the last years of his life. An inspiring story, very well done.
