Author Marshall Jon Fisher brilliantly sets the scene for what many observers believed to be the greatest tennis match ever played. He tells of the privileged upbringing of the aristocratic German Gottfried von Cramm, and how tennis provided a focus for a dignified man whose life was made almost unbearably difficult by the authorities due to his refusal to join Hitler’s Nazi Party coupled with his discreet but widely-acknowledged homosexuality. Fisher paints a vivid picture of Berlin nightlife during a period when sexual ambiguity was the height of fashion. And then there was Don Budge, a 22 year old jazz-loving American with the tennis world at his feet. A greater contrast between two men would be hard to find, but they had great respect for each other and produced a five-set epic that those who witnessed would never forget. Add to this the presence of the enigmatic Bill Tilden, the giant of US tennis who on this occasion was to be found coaching the German team, and you have an-unputdownable book about some of the greatest characters in tennis history.
