| book description |

The long-awaited sequel to the bestselling classic memoir, A Handful of Summers. Gordon Forbes played for the South African Davis Cup team in the 50s and early 60s and returned to the circuit as a writer and observer. In 'Too Soon to Panic' he takes the readers behind the scenes at the big tournaments â€“ Wimbledon, Roland Garros and Flushing Meadows; Germany, Spain and Italy â€“ and introduces them to many of tennis's most extraordinary and dynamic characters, including Mark McCormack, Rod Laver, Jim Courier and Andre Agassi. Crammed with riotously funny anecdotes and vivid evocations of the innocence and camaraderie of the game in Forbes's day â€“ when tennis as still a gentlemanly, amateur and often rather ramshackle affair â€“ and insightful observations on today's glamorous game â€“ where money reigns and sheer strength sometimes seems to conquer skill â€“ Forbes explores the remarkable changes that have come over the sport in the last forty years.
