The Master: The Brilliant Career of Roger Federer

A major biography of the greatest men's tennis player of the modern era. There have been other biographies of Roger Federer, but never one with this kind of access to the man himself, his support team, and the most prominent figures in the game, including such rivals as Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Roddick. In The Master, New York Times correspondent Christopher Clarey sits down with Federer and those closest to him to tell the story of the greatest player in men's tennis. The book covers Federer's journey from a temperamental, bleach-blond teenager to one of the most elegant and self-possessed competitors, highlighting his grit, resilience, and unforgettable career. Covering his matches and moments across the globe, Clarey provides an intimate and comprehensive account of Federer's life and achievements.
