Chris Bowers’ first book about Roger Federer was published in 2006 under the title “Fantastic Federer”, but in this new volume the author has substantially revised his earlier material and added coverage of Federer’s acquisition of six more Grand Slam titles as well as his fascinating rivalry with Rafael Nadal, who took over from him as World No.1 in the summer of 2008.
Bowers, an experienced tennis writer and broadcaster, writes with knowledge and insight, and acknowledges that his book represents an appraisal of a career that is still far from over. The descriptions of the epic Wimbledon finals of 2007 and 2008, both against “Nadal the Nemesis”, are fresh and evocative of two of the most exciting days in the glorious history of the tournament.
