Starting on a gravel court on a South African farm, Gordon Forbes went on to travel the world with his long-time tennis partner Abe Segal during the late-1950s and early-1960's: the glory days of Fred Perry, Roy Emerson, and Virginia Wade. In this delightfully uninhibited insider's account of tennis on the international circuit, Gordon Forbes looks back with laughter at his tennis playing years through a varied, successful and often outrageous career on the world's courts. This book remains a classic for tennis greats like Boris Becker and Roger Federer.
