About the Book

En este libro encontramos la pasión, la felicidad, los momentos dramáticos y la belleza de este deporte a través de su historia moderna de 1873 a 2024, y de sus orígenes remotos. En él aparecen los hechos globales de más de ciento cincuenta años, los promotores, jugadores, técnicos y torneos mundiales. Así como, las personas más relevantes del pasado y de la actualidad que han intervenido e intervienen en el tenis. Narra desde sus orígenes humildes en los monasterios al Tennis Real jugado por reyes como Enrique VIII. Recoge con detalle -en más de doscientas pinturas y fotografías hermosas- la larga historia de este deporte, sus vicisitudes, intrigas, hechos velados que han ocurrido en los trasfondos y han permanecido ocultos.
Es un libro interesante aún para aquellos que no juegan al tenis, ya que verán en él, la pasión de la historia y la sociedad de Wimbledon, parisina, londinense, neoyorkina, australiana.
Este, el libro definitivo de la historia del tenis, también trata, la equipación del tenis desde sus orígenes, el desarrollo de las pelotas, y de las raquetas. Con imágenes que no se puede despegar la mirada de ellas, como un gato amarrado a las cortinas. Es el poder de las imágenes que contiene, se trata de un libro impresionantemente ilustrado, para leer, hojear y sorprenderse.
Esta es la primera edición de un repaso histórico integral del tenis, desde un punto de vista de relatar la historia verdaderamente académica de este deporte. Respaldado por asombrosos caudales de investigaciones documentales, José María Illán Fernández, traza la evolución del tenis desde sus orígenes, donde surgió como una variedad de otros deportes de pelota jugados en los monasterios y palacios. En el siglo XVI, se había convertido en el entretenimiento favorito de la aristocracia europea y, tras los conquistadores españoles llegó a América. El prestigio del juego también llevó a su popularidad entre los poetas y dramaturgos del Renacimiento plasmándolo en sus obras literarias. Después de un declive gradual en los siglos XVIII y XIX, el deporte de la raqueta revivió en la década de 1870, con la forma del tenis sobre hierba. El nuevo juego prescindió de las instalaciones cerradas jugándose a campo abierto, descartó las complicadas reglas del antiguo juego y se practicó en un entorno natural. Desde Inglaterra con su famoso torneo de Wimbledon se extendió al continente europeo y a Estados Unidos donde nació la Copa Davis.
José María Illán Fernández, revela efemérides y personajes históricos aportando fotografías, dibujos y documentos que ilustran el texto y ayudan al lector a situarse en la escena de los hechos. Un goce tanto para los aficionados al tenis como para los estudiosos, Tennis es una obra sobre la cultura del tenis.
