The Confessions of an Ageing Tennis Player Inhaltsangabe

Remember when you were young and emulated your sporting heroes in the streets or school playground and were going to win Gold at the Olympics? Or the 100m sprint? Perhaps the World Cup? Even Wimbledon?

Confessions of an Ageing Tennis Player is the must-have humorous guidebook that navigates dreams and disappointments, failures and triumphs—a satirical mid-life-crisis handbook for everyone who has never quite fulfilled their fantasies, on the tennis court or anywhere else.

This is the story of a man of a certain age who has never quite moved on from his youthful fantasies as he goes from sporting zero to sporting hero. And back again. Set against the backdrop of Wimbledon in 2013 when Andy Murray was the first British player to win the championship for decades, unsurprisingly, ‘Andy’ makes an appearance.

Author, Nick Owen likes to see himself as a sportswriter: but in truth, he knows frighteningly little about any kind of sport. However, that doesn’t stop him writing in great depth about it. His experience as an enthusiastic tennis player in which tennis itself is the winner of every match, decades of dealing with rigorous swimming regimes, and playing football at junior school, these all contribute to a unique sports voice in which imagination triumphs over reality on every occasion.

Confessions of an Ageing Tennis Player is the first book in a the Sporting Confessions series, in which we follow our hero, Lord Andy John Paul George Ringo Murray of Kirkintilloch through Tennis Grand Slams in Melbourne, at Roland Garros in Paris, and Lord Andy’s journey to immortality finishes in The Confabulations of an Ageing Tennis Player at Flushing Meadows in America.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
