This intimate look at the professional triumphs and personal life of tennis great Roger Federer tracks his remarkable career from tennis teen to global citizen and international star.

As a rising teen tennis star in the 1990s, Roger Federer was known as much for his on-court tantrums as his grace and power.

But rather than becoming more difficult with his meteoric rise to fame, Federer became more polite and respectful.

Christopher Clarey is a veteran New York Times tennis correspondent who has covered the game since before Federer ever picked up a racket.

In The Master: The Long Run and Beautiful Game of Roger Federer, Clarey collates more than 80 interviews.

Through talking with Federer, his friends, family, coaches, trainers, and fellow players, Clarey creates a multidimensional portrait of a man who's matured through his career to become a philanthropist, mentor, and legend.
