  • af Andre Agassi
    72,95 - 117,95 kr.

    Vi kender ham som en lille hidsig fyr med løvemanke (inklusive lyse striber), guldkæder og alt for stramme tennisshorts. Han gjorde fra start alt, hvad han kunne for at provokere etablissementet, og publikum elskede det. Andre Agassi er en af nyere tids allerstørste tennisspillere. Han har vundet otte Grand Slam titler og ligget nr. 1. på verdensranglisten. Alt det handler ”Open”, Agassis selvbiografi, selvfølgelig om: de afgørende kampe, der genfortælles i suveræn dramatisk stil, rivaliseringen på banen og i omklædningsrummene, træningen, opturene og nedturene – livet som professionel tennisspiller kort sagt. Men ”Open” handler også om en lille dreng, der fra start hader at spille tennis – og som stadig hader det. Om en psykopatisk far der tyranniserer Agassi til at droppe skolen og træne time efter time ud fra filosofien: ”Hvis du slår et par tusinde slag om dagen hele din barndom og din ungdom, bliver du verdens bedste tennisspiller”. Andre hader og frygter sin far, men faren får ret. Andre Agassi bliver nærmest mod sin egen vilje bedre og bedre. Hele vejen op ad ranglisten stritter han imod. Han drikker, fester, kommer op at slås, får hanekam og optræder i nogle mildest talt utraditionelle munderinger på banen. Det ligner et almindeligt teenageoprør, men det udspiller sig for øjnene af millioner af seere, og stikker langt dybere. ”Open” er en fortælling om kampen for at frigøre sig fra en ekstremt dominerende far og finde en måde at forvalte både sit talent og sin personlighed på, en personlighed der i mange år ikke er til at skelne fra den offentlige person, der skaber sig åndssvag i medierne. Om det i den sammenhæng er sundt for Agassi, at han konstant omgiver sig med en hær af rådgivere, der til forveksling ligner fadererstatninger, er tvivlsomt.

  • - om Dansk Tennis Club og tennisspilleren Leif Rovsing
    af René Kural
    197,95 kr.

    Et portræt af en fascinerende excentriker forenes i "Out!" med arkitekturhistorie og seksualpolitik. Tennisspilleren og rigmanden Leif Rovsing er hovedpersonen, den danske sportsverden er scenen, og Dansk Tennis Club er det monument, han selv rejser og som bliver et symbol på hans ukuelige kamp mod systemet. Udviklingen tager for alvor fart i 1917, hvor Rovsing – en af datidens mest talentfulde tennisspillere – bliver udelukket fra alle tennisturneringer under Dansk Boldspil-Union grundet formodet homoseksualitet. Unionen gør alt for at forhindre ham i at spille, men Rovsing tager til genmæle. Ikke kun med skabelsen af det meget originale stykke idrætsarkitektur – tennishallen på Rygårds Allé i Hellerup – som han lod pryde med ægyptiske og balinesiske udsmykninger, men også gennem foredrag, artikler, bogudgivelser, rejseskildringer og ikke mindst gennem en livslang kamp for at få homoseksualitet accepteret i sportsverdenen.Bogen er rigt illustreret med fotograf Torben Eskerods smukke billeder af tennishallens interiør og eksteriør, samt af Bali-landsbyen i Asserbo ved Tisvilde Hegn. Hertil kommer en række historiske sportsfotografier og arkitekturfotografier fra museer, samlinger og arkiver.Bogens forfatter, lektor, ph.d. René Kural er leder af Center for Idræt og Arkitektur samt selvstændig praktiserende arkitekt med René Kural Tegnestue. Siden 1996 har René Kural været involveret i forsknings-, formidlings-, rådgivnings- og udviklingsopgaver for danske og udenlandske kommuner, arkitekttegnestuer, styrelser og fonde.

    From the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Madeleine Blais, the dramatic and colorful story of legendary tennis star and international celebrity, Alice MarbleIn August 1939, Alice Marble graced the cover of Life magazine, photographed by the famed Alfred Eisenstaedt. She was a glamorous worldwide celebrity, having that year won singles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles tennis titles at both Wimbledon and the US Open, then an unprecedented feat. Yet today one of America's greatest female athletes and most charismatic characters is largely forgotten. Queen of the Court places her back on center stage. Born in 1913, Marble grew up in San Francisco; her favorite sport, baseball. Given a tennis racket at age 13, she took to the sport immediately, rising to the top with a powerful, aggressive serve-and-volley style unseen in women's tennis. A champion at the height of her fame in the late 1930s, she also designed a clothing line in the off-season and sang as a performer in the Sert Room of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York to rave reviews. World War II derailed her amateur tennis career, but her life off the court was, if anything, even more eventful. She wrote a series of short books about famous women. She turned professional and joined a pro tour during the War, entertaining and inspiring soldiers and civilians alike. Ever glamorous and connected, she had a part in the 1952 Tracy and Hepburn movie Pat and Mike, and she played tennis with the likes of Charlie Chaplin, Marlene Dietrich, and her great friends, Clark Gable and Carole Lombard. However, perhaps her greatest legacy lies in her successful efforts, working largely alone, to persuade the all-white US Lawn Tennis Association to change its policy and allow African American star Althea Gibson to compete for the US championship in 1950, thereby breaking tennis's color barrier. In two memoirs, Marble also showed herself to be an at-times unreliable narrator of her own life, which Madeleine Blais navigates skillfully, especially Marble's dramatic claims of having been a spy during World War II. In Queen of the Court, the author of the bestselling In These Girls, Hope Is a Muscle recaptures a glittering life story.
