An excerpt from the book:

There are four things for which Switzerland is globally renowned: Chocolate, precision timepieces, neutrality, and Roger Federer. The last allows the Swiss people to blissfully ignore the third when it comes to discussing where the superstar tennis player ranks in the sport’s pantheon.

Federer has an enjoyed a playing career that is at the sunset of a second decade, and his recent recovery from knee surgery and Renaissance to win the Australian Open in January 2017 shows that the Swiss maestro still has something left in his bag of tricks, even at age 35.

His 18 Grand Slam singles titles are the most of any player in the Open Era. That number is more impressive considering that his career intersected the sport’s history at a time where Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic tied for second and fourth place in that category with 14 and 12, respectively.

These three players have had a stranglehold on major titles for nearly a generation, winning the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open a combined 44 times dating to Federer’s first Wimbledon crown in summer of 2003. But it is the elegant Federer who currently stands above the gritty Nadal and the jack-of-all-surfaces Djokovic, due in large part to his metronome-like consistency at an elite level for more than a decade.

On the path to becoming arguably the greatest of all time in his sport, Federer’s rise was one seen in the distance, starting with his play in juniors. He had to mature from petulant teenager to talented and promising young player on the ATP Tour. Federer then had to absorb match and life lessons from his peers to become a better player.

And since the summer following his first victory at the all-England club, Federer’s place in tennis lore has come by way of reaction and evolution. He has honed his already finely tuned all-around game and enhanced it with strategy. That often kept him one step ahead of the chasing pack, though now in the autumn of his playing days, it is helping him try to emerge from it.

Here is a preview of what is inside this Serena Williams biography book:

• Early Life and Childhood
• Early Professional Career
• First Grand Slam Title at the 1999 U.S. Open
• Serena's Dominance that Spans Decades
• Serena’s Top Rivals
• Williams' Personal Life
• The Legacy of Serena Williams

An excerpt from this Serena Williams biography:

She is the standard-bearer of women’s tennis as we know it right now, and any argument about the greatest player in the sport, either man or woman, must include her. Seemingly everything about her is a lightning rod for controversy, from her on-court outfits to her pointed post-match interviews after losses and whether her powerful serve and forehand are even good for women’s tennis.

Serena Williams is all of these things to all of these people. She has been the face of women’s tennis for more than two decades, having enjoyed an unprecedented amount of success that has come with an equally unprecedented amount of scrutiny by both supporters and detractors alike. Few have been able to reach her level professionally, and fewer still can understand the weight she has carried as an African-American at the pinnacle of a sport so long dominated by white people.

She had a unique upbringing alongside older sister and fellow star Venus Williams while under the watchful eye of her outspoken and controversial father, Richard Williams, as well as her mother, Oracene Price. Serena Williams has brought many things to the WTA Tour, far more good than bad, and she has not lacked for attention at any point in her standout career. The sport has made her a worldwide star; her race has made her an ambassador for African-Americans and her philanthropy while doing both has made her a role model who is constantly in demand.

The holder of an Open Era-record 23 Grand Slam titles and 72 overall WTA Tour titles, current fiancée and expecting mother, Serena Jemeka Williams has lived quite the extraordinary life in just under 35 years.

An excerpt from the book:

In the early part of the 21st century, Spain has provided the world with two significant contributions to the sports world. One lasted for nearly a decade, and the second continues to amaze as he enters the twilight of his career.The first is the Spanish national soccer team, who revolutionized the way the game is played thanks to their “tiki-taka” style of quick passing in triangles, emphasis on possession, and intelligent runs into space that stretched opposing defenses. A group of stars led by Andres Iniesta, Xavi, Gerard Pique, Sergio Ramos and many others had an unprecedented amount of success as they bracketed a 2010 World Cup title with European Championship crowns in both 2008 and 2012.

The aesthetic beauty of the tiki-taka in which players feint and move in rapid succession as the ball is effortlessly caressed around the pitch is a stark contrast to the violent beauty of Spain’s other notable sports export, tennis star Rafael Nadal.

A naturally talented yet self-made player, Nadal has turned one of the hardest-hit two-handed shots in the game into a cottage industry of success. His 15 Grand Slam titles are second all-time to arguably the greatest player in the sport’s history and his generational peer Roger Federer. His unrivaled dominance of the clay-court surface, highlighted by his record 10 French Open titles, did not just harken the names of Bjorn Borg and Mats Wilander to tennis historians. They also fall in line without debate behind the man known as “Rafa,” a spitfire of energy who punctuates his key points with a fist pump and a cry of “Vamos!”

In a period when men’s tennis was blessed with three of its greatest players, here is the story of the man who not only challenged greatness but became great himself in the process. This is the story of Rafael Nadal Parera.

In Novak Djokovic: The Inspiring Story of One of Tennis' Greatest Legends, you will learn the inspirational story of one of tennis' premier legends, Novak Djokovic. Novak Djokovic has come a long way since reaching his first Grand Slam final in the 2007 US Open. There was little doubt that even in his defeat to fellow legend, Roger Federer, that Djokovic was going to be embarking on an illustrious tennis career.

He has since validated this belief. At the age of twenty-nine, Novak Djokovic is a 12-time Grand Slam champion, and has held the top spot of the ATP Tour for more than 220 weeks. The most impressive part has been his absolute dominance in the last half decade of tennis, as he has won multiple Australian Opens, Wimbledons, and US Opens. In this unauthorized biography, we'll explore Djokovic's journey to becoming one of the greatest, and learn what it has taken him to reach where he is today.

• Years of Dominance and Key Majors
• Most Notable Rivalries
• Djokovic's Personal Life
• Djokovic's Impact on Tennis and Beyond
• The Legacy of Novak Djokovic

An excerpt from this Novak Djokovic biography:

He is combustible while competitive; temperamental, yet oh so talented. He is prickly, yes, but a definite prodigy. The owner of a swashbuckling style he has ridden to success. He is controversial at times, sure, but a champion without a doubt. No one word is ever going to fully fit all of who Novak Djokovic is because the sum of all who he is transcends a mere one-word description. He is one of the greatest tennis players of his generation who has transcended into being one of the most impactful tennis players of any generation.

He has willed himself from a talented yet scrawny Serbian teenager into a multiple-time Grand Slam winner who has the chance to do the unthinkable – surpass Roger Federer’s record haul of Grand Slam titles, something once thought impossible for Federer himself to achieve.

But how did he get here from there? How did the tennis player adored by many with chants of “No-le” arrive at the crossroads of greatness in a sport in which he has shared traits of both its heroes and villains? How has he come to thrive at a time where the division is enjoying some of its greatest depth of talent in its extensive history?

Sacrifices were made by both him and his family. There were the perseverance and persistence to improve, first to simply be one of the “Big Four” who has defined the current state of men’s tennis, and then to hold its throne. There was also an emotional maturing, one that has created a grounding in both his professional and personal worlds which helped him reach the pinnacle of his sport as the number one ranked player in the world and stay among its elite for a prolonged period.

An excerpt from this Naomi Osaka biography:

“As long as I can remember, people have struggled to define me. I have never really fit into one description.” This line reads big and bold on Naomi Osaka’s website, and it says exactly what is needed to know about the tennis star. Naomi Osaka is a Haitian Japanese professional tennis player born in Osaka, Japan. Her family immigrated to the United States, and she grew up in New York until her tennis took her family to Florida. Naomi and her older sister Mari started playing tennis at a very young age on the free community courts around New York City. Their father was at the helm of the Osaka sisters’ training, doing everything in his power to have his girls reach the same level of tennis prowess as Serena and Venus Williams. Inspired by their father Richard Williams, Leonard took the same steps as Richard did to ensure that his children could be the best tennis players they could be.

When Naomi Osaka was younger it was her sister Mari who was slated to have a successful professional career, with their many childhood coaches remembering Naomi to be unmotivated, unathletic, and disinterested while on the tennis court. As Naomi matured and coaches saw her potential, her raw power, and her ability to cover the court, they knew she would ultimately become number one in the world someday.

Naomi Osaka did reach number one in the world, but before she reached the apex of her sport she skyrocketed into the spotlight when she beat her childhood hero Serena Williams, the holder of twenty-three Grand Slam titles, in her first ever Grand Slam final at the 2018 U.S. Open.

• Chapter 4: Finding Her Voice
• Chapter 5: Personal Life
• Chapter 6: Coco’s Legacy

An excerpt from this Coco Gauff biography:

Coco Gauff has been called a child prodigy, a tennis wunderkind, and a young American phenom who will carry the torch for American tennis long after Serena and Venus Williams are through with their playing days, which edge closer and closer with every day that passes. Seemingly, that torch was passed by Venus herself when Coco defeated her in the first round of her very first Wimbledon, loudly announcing herself to the world when she was only fifteen years old.

Coco Gauff was born in Delray Beach, Florida. Her parents, Candi and Corey Gauff, were talented athletes throughout their high school and college years and knew right away that Coco was special. Much like Richard Williams(father to Serena and Venus) before them, they gave up their careers to throw themselves into allowing their daughter to achieve her dreams. Coco knew she loved tennis and wanted to make it her career from an early age after watching Serena Williams win one of her many Grand Slam titles. Throughout her short four years on the WTA tour, she has proved herself a force to be reckoned with and will go on to do great things throughout her young and already record-breaking career.

Coco Gauff has proven to be mature beyond her years with as much poise and power behind her groundstrokes as a veteran tennis player. From an early age, her father told her that she could change the world with her tennis racket, and in her few years on tour, she has already done just that on the court. Off the court, she is changing the world too. Coco Gauff found her voice during the 2020 Black Lives Matter Movement, more recently speaking out against school shootings, climate change, gun violence, and the overturning of Roe v. Wade in June 2022.

An excerpt from this biography book on Nick Kyrgios's story:

For virtually the entire 21st century, men’s professional tennis has been dominated by three larger-than-life players. These players have defined an era and rewritten the record books, ultimately transcending tennis to become legends of world sport.

Roger Federer was the first of these figures to emerge; the Swiss phenom was so graceful and dominant that he has frequently been referred to as the “maestro” of tennis. Then came Rafael Nadal, the indomitable rival who rose to Federer’s level and lorded his authority over clay courts to an almost unfathomable degree. And then there was Novak Djokovic, the tireless challenger who would ultimately outlast both Federer and Nadal and, against all odds, claim most of their records as his own.

These three men have so thoroughly controlled men’s tennis for the last 20 years that they have eclipsed some extraordinarily talented players in the process. Many talented competitors who might have reached the heights of the sport were it not for the “Big Three” have instead spent their careers struggling to win even one or two prestigious titles.

An excerpt from this biography book on Andy Murray's story:

Throughout his career, Sir Andy Murray has won over 40 singles titles, including three Grand Slams, 14 Masters 1000 series, and two Olympic gold medals. Alongside Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Roger Federer, Murray is one of the Big Four players who dominated tennis rankings throughout the first quarter of the 21st century.

As a survivor of one of the deadliest mass school shootings in the United Kingdom in which many of his classmates lost their lives, Murray showed perseverance and resilience from his early childhood. He played his first professional tournament at just five years old, and by the time he was eight, Murray was already competing against adult players. He started his professional career at the age of 18, after being trained at one of the most prestigious tennis academies in the world. The young Scot had immediate success on the ATP Tour and he made his top 10 debut at the age of just 19.
In 2012, Murray’s career reached its first high point when the Scottish-born phenom won his first Grand Slam at the U.S. Open as well as the gold medal at the Olympic Games in London. One year later, Murray became the first British male player to win the Wimbledon championship in over seven decades. And in 2017, he became the only man in history to win a second gold medal at the Olympic Games and a Grand Slam tournament. Murray was awarded a knighthood in the New Year's Honors, which he received at Buckingham Palace in 2019. He is a former world No. 1, a ranking which he held for 44 weeks.

• Chapter 6: Decline and Retirement
• Chapter 7: Andy Roddick’s Top Rivals
• Chapter 8: Personal Life
• Chapter 9: Legacy

An excerpt from this biography book on Andy Roddick's story:

Andy Roddick is a fascinating figure in the history of men’s professional tennis. On the one hand, he is the player who took the torch from a golden era of American men and proved that he was capable of carrying it on his own. Indeed, the argument can even be made that Roddick singlehandedly kept American men’s tennis interesting in the wake of all-time greats like Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, and Jim Courier, not to mention John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors before them.

On the other hand, Roddick’s career was also hampered by the fact that he ran up against an even greater era of international stars, who collectively stopped the American in his tracks. A little more than a decade after his retirement in 2012, Roddick is often regarded as a player who was born in the wrong era—challenged to carry an impossible load and matched up throughout his prime against Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic, arguably the three best men to ever pick up a racquet! He was, one might say, as cursed by timing as he was blessed with talent.

However, as much as Andy Roddick was defined by his era, he also pieced together a remarkable career in his own right. He was a consistent champion as well as a sparkling personality on the men’s tour for more than a decade. He won a grand slam—the greatest achievement in tennis, in many people’s eyes—and was, ever so briefly, the top-ranked player in the entire world.

• Chapter 11: Top Rivalries
• Chapter 12: Personal Life
• Chapter 13: Legacy

An excerpt from this biography book on Caroline Wozniacki's story:

In the recent history of women’s tennis, there have not been many champions who were less likely than Caroline Wozniacki. This is in part because Wozniacki emerged on the professional scene during one of the most competitive periods in the sport’s history.

The year was 2007, and Venus and Serena Williams were dominating tennis so thoroughly that there only seemed to be room for a small handful of challengers. Justine Henin was perhaps the Williams sisters’ only real peer at the time, and Kim Clijsters, Maria Sharapova, and Victoria Azarenka loomed as prospective contenders. Beyond this small cluster of names, there did not seem to be a lot of space for new, top-tier players in the women’s game.

Even if there had been a gap atop women’s tennis at the time, however, few people would have looked toward Caroline Wozniacki to fill it. Or rather, few would have looked toward her part of the world. Wozniacki hails from Denmark, and while the Scandinavian region has produced its share of male tennis champions such as Bjorn Borg, Stefan Edberg, and Casper Ruud, there are few women’s professionals to speak of from the area.

An excerpt from this biography book on Daniil Medvedev's story:

When Daniil Medvedev appeared in the main draw of an ATP Tour-level tournament for the first time in 2015, he did so to relatively little fanfare. Those who followed the sport closely recognized him as an up-and-coming player who had flashed intriguing talent and unorthodox style at the juniors level. Medvedev did not, however, receive the “next-gen” star hype that so many of his predecessors had received in the previous years. For all intents and purposes, he was simply seen as a new, solid player good enough to reach the ATP Tour.

The muted hype surrounding Medvedev was partly due to the fact that so many next-gen hopes before him had fallen at least somewhat short of expectations. In those days—say, the late-aughts through the mid-2010s—the world of men’s tennis was, only naturally, looking for successors to the dominant “Big Three” trio of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic.

It was impossible to know at the time that Federer would remain competitive into his late 30s, Nadal would still be active in 2024, and Djokovic would arguably still be the best player in the world in 2024. It seemed as if tennis would need new stars sooner rather than later, and this need led to many of Medvedev’s predecessors and eventual peers being burdened with weighty expectations.
