| Publisher Description: Wimbledon 2018: The Official Story of The Championships is the evocative and beautifully illustrated re-telling of a spell-binding fortnight of tennis at the All England Club. With the evergreen Roger Federer looking to hold off his old rival Rafa Nadal, the comebacks of Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic, and the young guard looking to take Roger's crown, the Gentlemen's Singles will be fascinating to watch and a wide open Ladies' event will make The Championships 2018 the highlight of the sporting summer. Written by The Independent's tennis correspondent, Paul Newman, and put together by a team based at Wimbledon for the duration of The Championships, Wimbledon 2018 grants the reader exclusive insider access to the tournament with interviews and analysis, opinion and quotes from the stars of the show. In addition, the book is packed with stunning photography taken by some of the world's best tennis photographers. |
