    About this audiobook

    Chris Jackson's new thoughtful and brilliantly written study of Federer as a man, player, and aesthetic and moral figure of our times, outplays even Foster Wallace's magisterial writing on this greatest of all tennis champions.

    Updated for its audio release, here is the most profound, insightful and elegant book ever written about the greatest sportsman of our time.
