The stars of the women's tennis tour are the richest, most famous, and most conspicuous female athletes in the world, and yet the public's perception of them is often limited to the little that can be gleaned from press conferences and photo opportunities.

A celebrated sports writer, he analyzes matches, discusses strategy, and describes practice sessions.
