imbledon: The Official History Of The Championships is a book that is a must for every tennis fan. John W Barrett, the author, is passionate about Wimbledon for good reason. A former top British competitor, Barrett played the event 18 times. He also started the Barrett Boys, the country’s first player develop- ment squad. His expertise is enhanced by the fact that he was captain and is married to 1961 winner and is the senior tennis commentator for the BBC.
