Description du livre
A master technician and exceptional showman, Mansour Bahrami embodies 50 years of tennis history and has left his mark on several generations of fans. From Rod Laver to the "Big 5," including Björn Borg, John McEnroe, and Jimmy Connors, as well as Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, his extraordinary talent, creativity, and showmanship have been acclaimed by the greatest champions he has played alongside throughout a career of unique longevity.
But beyond the player, Mansour is a child of Iran—an ambassador for all Iranians and for a country that has since fallen from grace in the West. He is a man adopted by France, with an extraordinary destiny and an inspiring life journey.
Hamid Gharavi, a friend of Mansour, a renowned international lawyer, and tennis passionate, uses the art of advocacy and cross-examination to get to the heart of the matter, ranging from the most surprising anecdotes to the most touching confessions.
"Face to Face" is a candid, eye-to-eye interview in which all themes, even the most intimate, are addressed without compromise or filter. It is the exceptional destiny of an atypical man, an unprecedented journey into the heart of tennis history, and much more.
