The Stylish Life: Tennis by Ben Rothenberg

More than "just a game," tennis has always been a sociable pursuit where whom and where you play defines the whole experience. An entire culture has developed around this chic pastime. Witness a whole pantheon of tennis legends who combine athleticism with stylish flair while experiencing the charisma of such modern stars as Maria Sharapova and the charm of all-time great Arthur Ashe. From Wimbledon to other prestigious venues around the globe, tennis courts are a place to see and be seen -- and admire the skill of the players, of course! Crisp, sporty tennis outfits by the likes of Lacoste and Fred Perry -- beautifully showcased here -- epitomise a relaxed yet active life. The Stylish Life: Tennis will inspire you to brush off your volley -- or at least dream about taking part in this leisurely, sophisticated world.
