Summary:
"In 'The Circuit: A
Tennis
Odyssey,' the award-winning poet
--
and Paris Review sports columnist
--
Rowan Ricardo Phillips chronicles 2017 as seen through the unique prism of its pivotal, revelatory, and historic
tennis
season. The annual
tennis
schedule is a rarity in professional sports in that it encapsulates the calendar year. And like the year, it's divided into four seasons, each marked by a final tournament: the Grand Slams. Phillips charts the year from winter's Australian Open, where Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal renewed their rivalry in a match for the ages, to fall's U.S. Open. Along the way, Phillips paints a new, vibrant portrait of
tennis
, one that captures not only the emotions, nerves, and ruthless tactics of the point-by-point game but also the quicksilver movement of victory and defeat on the tour, placing that sense of upheaval within a broader cultural and social context.
Tennis
has long been thought of as an escapist spectacle: a bucolic, separate bauble of life. The book will convince you that you don't leave the world behind as you watch
tennis
--
you bring it with you."--From the publisher.
