We all know that Roger Federer is a great player on the court. And that he has class both and off the court. But who is Federer behind the curtains?

Roger Federer didn’t become who he is suddenly. These books take a look look at his childhood, his junior tennis days, and the experiences that made Roger Federer who he is today.

Some books are slightly dated but are still worth reading for the stories. Clearly, some book authors didn’t think Federer will keep playing until his late 30s and decided to write books rather prematurely.

Danielle Collins is working with Nicolas Almagro on a trial basis. Almagro retired from professional tennis in 2019. He won 13 ATP titles during his career. He was also a part of the Spanish team that won the Davis Cup.

Collins was introduced to Almagro by Patrick Mouratoglou, who coaches Serena Williams and runs a tennis academy. 

Collins was previously coached by Jay Gooding and Chip Brooks. She played college tennis first at the University of Florida and then at the University of Virginia, where she won the NCAA title in 2014 and 2016. 

She reached a career-high ranking of 23 in 2019.  It will be interesting to see if Almagro, a former top 10 player, can help Collins improve her game.
