On The Court And Off is a book written by Anthony F. Wilding and published in 1912. Wilding was a well-known tennis player from New Zealand who won multiple Grand Slam titles in the early 1900s. The book is a memoir of his life and experiences as a tennis player, both on and off the court. The book is divided into two parts: the first part focuses on Wilding's experiences as a tennis player, including his training, tournaments, and matches. He also shares his thoughts on the game, including tactics and strategy. The second part of the book is more personal, and delves into Wilding's life outside of tennis. He talks about his family, friends, and travels, as well as his interests and hobbies.Throughout the book, Wilding provides insights into the world of tennis in the early 1900s, including the challenges and rewards of being a professional player. He also shares anecdotes and stories from his travels, giving readers a glimpse into life in the early 20th century.On The Court And Off is a fascinating read for anyone interested in tennis, sports history, or early 20th century life. Wilding's engaging writing style and personal anecdotes make this book a must-read for fans of the sport.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
