Overview

One of the most respected and lauded tennis journalists currently covering the circuit, Neil Harman has had a front-row seat to matches involving legends such as Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Venus and Serena Williams. In a career that has spanned nearly four decades, he has become a confidant to many of the game’s stars and administrators, even acting for a time as a media mentor to world number two Victoria Azarenka. Now, in this exploration, Harman shares his almost unparalleled access to the game with readers as he exposes tennis’s most intimate secrets in a book replete with personality, excitement, drama, and intrigue. Featuring frank, in-depth interviews with all the leading players, their coaching staff, and their agents and managers, Harman presents the game from an insider's perspective and offers the fresh insights and strong personal views for which he is celebrated. Court Confidential recounts a defining time for modern-day tennis; from Wimbledon to the Olympic Games, from Serena Williams's battle with illness to Andy Murray's historic grand slam victory, this is a book for tennis fans everywhere.
