Publisher's Synopsis
In one of the most iconic finals in tennis history, dubbed as The Greatest Match Ever, Rafael Nadal engaged in a battle against Roger Federer at the 2008 Wimbledon Championships. The historic match kept spectators on the edge of their seats as both rivals fought for victory. Although the sports chronicle of this event is widely known, this book offers a different perspective by recounting the match through the eyes of the author-a student and ordinary fan who happened to be present at Wimbledon over that weekend, without a ticket.
Join the author on his expedition as he camps in SW19, meets Rafael Nadal's coach Toni Nadal, engages in relaxed banter with the president of Real Madrid, explores the mystique of Wimbledon's hallowed grounds, and ponders the timeless words of Rudyard Kipling.
