Game Changers argues that the real story of the modern game of professional tennis is not captured in match scores or trophy counts, but in the moments when a single player bends the sport’s geometry so profoundly that everyone else has to adjust. This is a book about those inflection points, about how tennis keeps remaking itself through the outliers who expand, or sometimes break, the limits of what the game can be. Each chapter tells the history of the modern game of tennis by tracing how one player’s innovation reverberated outward, became absorbed, became standard. What emerges is a living portrait of the Open Era in professional tennis, which is written as Robbins’ personal love letter to tennis. It is as rich in admiration and praise as it is nuanced and insightful in analysis. Anyone who loves the game of tennis will enjoy this book.
