- Summary
- Whirlwind's story is, indeed, a history of black tennis in America. Almost every significatn African-American player to emerge before the 1980s trained on his backyard court. But far more than a tennis tale, Whirlwind's story is also the saga of a man whose obsessions, primarily tennis and women, brought joy or pain to those closest to him, quite often both in the case of his firt-born son.
