Court Confidential

Autor Neil Harman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 mai 2013
There has never been a period in history where tennis has been so rich in iconic personalities, and recent times have seen more astonishing, history-making stories than ever before. Small wonder, then, that Neil Harman, who this season celebrates a decade at the helm of The Times' tennis coverage, should want to share the tales he has lived through in a book that drips personality, excitement, drama and intrigue from first page to last. Court Confidential gets right to the heart of what makes the game tick with frank, in-depth interviews with all the leading players, their coaching staff, their agents and managers, with fresh insights and the strong personal views for which Harman is known.

Court Confidential will appeal to tennis aficionados everywhere, from the casual observer to the ultraknowledgeable. Fast-paced, high entertainment, controversial, informative, this is all that a really good sporting book should be.

Recenzii

'A lively analysis of professional tennis benefits from the author's closeness to the game's stars... As the title hints, what makes this book special are the disclosures to which Harman is often privy thanks to his cordial relationships with so many of the sport's prominent figures - Taking full advantage of his status, and forever diligent and enthusiastic, Harman delves into the big issues of the day.' The Observer Taking full advantage of his status, and forever diligent and enthusiastic, Harman delves into the big issues of the day as he scurries from match to press conference to victory parade in Dunblane, remarking on how his own reporting role has altered over the years.
