Easily holds the readers attention for its historical and specific content but did notice a number of inaccuraciesBy tennis maestroEasily holds the readers attention for its historical and specific content but did notice a number of inaccuracies. On page 334 It was claimed at the 2003 French Open semi final between Justine Henin and Serena Williams that the Belgian won this match 64 26 75 which is actually the INCORRECT scoreline. Henin defeated the American 62 46 75. On page 348 It was claimed at the 2010 French Open, Samantha Stosur defeated Justine Henin in the quarter finals which is actually INCORRECT. The Australian defeated Henin in the fourth round. On page 429 It was claimed Novak Djokovic at the 2010 US Open nearly lost to countryman Viktor Troicki in the second round, trailing two sets to one and falling behind a service break in the fourth set which is actually INCORRECT. This five set encounter was a first round match. On page 430 It was claimed Ana Ivanovic become the first ever Serbian to secure a Slam singles title when she won the French Open in 2007 which is actually INCORRECT. Justine Henin defeated Ivanovic in the final to win the French Open in 2007. The Serbian claimed the title twelve months later in 2008. On page 457 It was claimed John Newcombe defeated Bjorn Borg in the 1974 WCT final in Dallas 46 63 62 63 which is actually the INCORRECT scoreline. The Australian defeated Borg 46 63 63 62.7 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Loved the first half....second half - not as much.By Duke TennisThis book talks about each of "The Greatest Matches of All Time" in 3 sections. What was happening in tennis around the time, specifics on the match and the aftermath. I thought I would be bored by the first section of the book that featured historic matches and players but captivated by matches that I'd seen with players I knew. The opposite was true. The first part of the book was spell binding. Unfortunately when we got to more contemporary matches that Flink had clearly seen himself (or watched on video) the match specific section was so burdened. Sometimes a play by play recap which is DEADLY in written format. I would have given the first half of the book at 6 on a best-of-five scale but the second half a 3 at best. Worth the time and money though...1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Flawed in parts, but leaves you wanting more...By Tail End BoomerThere are a lot of legendary matches here, some historically well known and others dated by pre Open eras. The intimate play-by-play description of iconic event showdowns is a tennis fireside chat novelty. Plus the prologue and epilogue entries make for fascinating reading. Where it falls short is that two many other incidental matches are added as before and after filler when space could have been saved for more main all time ranked entries and the inclusion of at least a dozen of the other extras reserved for honorable mention. Also, an appendix of stroke classification grading is too short and limiting to encompass several generations of the racket sport. And in the match list, there is one ever so glaring omission in the 1984 John McEnroe/Ivan Lendl French Open final, a war of wills that marked Lendl's first Grand Slam victory resulting in an eventual head-to-head rivalry lead over McEnroe. If Mac had won that match, he might have had the confidence to add to his trophy case beyond his 7 Big Four triumphs and Ivan might have withered further to earn his first. All in all, this is a good tennis book despite shortcomings. The subjectivity of what is left out just leaves you wanting more. Author and tennis historian Steve Flink profiles and ranks the greatest tennis matches in the history of the sport. Roger Federer, Billie Jean King, Rafael Nadal, Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe, Martina Navratilova, Rod Laver, and Chris Evert are all featured in this book that breaks down, analyzes, and puts into historical context the most memorable matches ever played. Practically providing readers with a courtside seat at tennisrsquo; most historic and significant duels, this resource is sure to be the startmdash;and endmdash;of many tennis debates. "I encourage you to read this book because Steve is one of the most insightful writers on the game that I have known and he really knows his tennis." mdash;Pete Sampras, Seven-time Wimbledon champion tennis player [ecqJP.ebook] The Greatest Tennis Matches of All Time By Steve Flink PDF [ecqJP.ebook] The Greatest Tennis Matches of All Time By Steve Flink Epub [ecqJP.ebook] The Greatest Tennis Matches of All Time By Steve Flink Ebook [ecqJP.ebook] The Greatest Tennis Matches of All Time By Steve Flink Rar [ecqJP.ebook] The Greatest Tennis Matches of All Time By Steve Flink Zip [ecqJP.ebook] The Greatest Tennis Matches of All Time By Steve Flink Read Online.

Everything was set up for McEnroe, but Roland Garros had never been overly kind to him and it was about to dish out the deepest blow yet… The American The Greatest Tennis Matches of All Time into an early lead, breaking Lendl in the sixth game before taking the set McEnroe closed off the second set and was two sets up in just over an hour. After a confrontation between McEnroe and the cameraman, the American had lost his concentration and Lendl broke back. It paved the way to the Czech taking the set and the momentum shift was felt all around the court. Lendl then came from down in the fourth to win itwhile also capturing the full support of the French crowd. A topsy-turvy final set saw break points won and lost each way as the tension ebbed and flowed, but it was Lendl who held his nerve the better. After saving one match point, McEnroe could give no more, and he volleyed wide to hand the game to Lendl. The American would sit in his chair, head in hands, for a long time as the presentation began. That runners-up medal would The Greatest Tennis Matches of All Time the best he ever got from the French.
