A Game to Love is the stunning publishing debut of award-winning sports photographer Mike Powell. Featuring 500 highly evocative and original images, A Game to Love portrays and celebrates the spirit and passion for the tennis that exists around the world. Powell's extraordinary images capture the character and brilliance of the greatest players in the game today, and are complemented by the words of many of the game's legendary greats of yesteryear, among them John McEnroe, Billie Jean King, Steffi Graf, Boris Becker, and Rod Laver, reflecting on the game they love. From superstar players, veterans, and juniors to the spectating cognoscenti and tennis haute couture; from screaming coaches, business-like trainers and longsuffering officials to the player's boxes, real fans and "fan fashion"; from the intimate details of hands-on racquets and the wiping of brows to the textures of clay, grass, and hard court, A Game to Love is a luscious and original visual tribute to one of today's most watched, and most loved, sports.
