Ashe vs Connors : Wimbledon 1975 : tennis that went beyond centre court
Bodo, Peter2015
Book
The Wimbledon final of 1975 between Arthur Ashe and Jimmy Connors wasn't just a contest between a mercurial, seemingly unstoppable prodigy and an undemonstrative veteran - it also embodied a clash of values in a rapidly changing world, and in the sport itself. Published 40 years after this momentous occasion, this book remembers a match which has gone on to become a metaphor for a changing world, the end of an era and a last triumph for the passing guard.
