Christopher Clarey

A major biography of the greatest men's tennis player of the modern era. There have been other biographies of Roger Federer, but never one with this kind of access to the man himself, his support team, and the most prominent figures in the game, including such rivals as Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Roddick. In THE MASTER, New York Times correspondent Christopher Clarey sits down with Federer and those closest to him to tell the story of the greatest player in men's tennis. Roger Federer has often made it look astonishingly easy through the decades: carving backhands, gliding to forehands, leaping for overheads and, in his most gravity-defying act, remaining high on a pedestal in a world of sports rightfully flooded with cynicism. But his path from temperamental, bleach-blond teenager with dubious style sense to one of the greatest, most self-possessed and elegant of competitors has been a long-running act of will, not destiny. He not only had a great gift. He had grit. Christopher Clarey, one of the top international sportswriters working today, has covered Federer since the beginning of his professional career. He was in Paris on the Suzanne Lenglen Court for Federer's first Grand Slam match and has interviewed him exclusively more than any other journalist since his rise to prominence. Here, Clarey focuses on the pivotal people, places, and moments in Federer's long and rich career: reporting from South Africa, South America, the Middle East, four Grand Slam tournaments, and Federer's native Switzerland. It has been a journey like no other player's, rife with victories and a few crushing defeats, one that has redefined enduring excellence and made Federer a sentimental favorite worldwide. THE MASTER tells the story of Federer's life and career on both an intimate and grand scale, in a way no one else could possibly do.

Roger Federer

Wie kaum einer zuvor, hat Roger Federer es über die Jahrzehnte so leicht aussehen lassen, zwischen angeschnittenen Rückhänden, erstklassigen Vorhänden und Überkopfbällen zu wechseln. Sein Weg vom temperamentvollen, wasserstoffblonden Teenager mit fragwürdigem Style hin zum größten, selbstbeherrschtesten und elegantesten aller Spieler war vor allem von einem starken Willen geprägt. Roger Federer hatte nicht nur wahnsinniges Talent, sondern auch die mentale Stärke, in der Tenniswelt zu bestehen und sich zu den Größten hochzukämpfen. Christopher Clarey, einer der weltweiten Top-Sportjournalisten der heutigen Zeit, hat Federer von Beginn seiner Profi-Karriere an begleitet. In seinem Buch fokussiert er sich auf die wichtigsten Personen in Federers Leben, die zentralen Stationen und Momente seiner langen und ereignisreichen Karriere. Es war eine Reise wie keine andere, voller Siege und krachender Niederlagen. Eine, die das Wort Perfektion neu definiert hat und Federer zum Liebling der Tennisfans auf der ganzen Welt gemacht hat. "Der Maestro" erzählt auf intime und großartige Weise die Geschichte von Federers Leben und seiner Karriere.
