The Master: The Long Run and Beautiful Game of Roger Federer by Christopher Clarey
2.0
This the fascinating look at someone who achieved the height of his game, while making it appear effortless. The book demonstrates the import of understanding one’s mind, and staying calm and relaxed in order to perform well. This isn’t to stay that Roger was always relaxed, he clearly wasn’t. However, it contrasts his method of gameplay and understanding of how to do his best with those of other champions.
The book would probably be a five star book if I was playing tennis actively today and following the sport. I used to play tennis but I’ve lost touch with it. Therefore, many of the pages went into intimate details of specific matches, and were quite boring. I more appreciated the stories between matches about how he trained, and lived his life. I did end up skipping about 30% of the book for this reason.
