What Others Are Saying
From the world No. 1 Men’s Doubles Team:
“We’ve felt a renewed interest in doubles the past few years and this
book will help the great game even more. It is so well written and
researched and it is loaded with good info. We love the dynamics of the
team thing and it is captured so well by Marcia Frost in this work.”
- Bob Bryan
“I agree with Bob. We are getting great crowds at our matches and
amazing support. By reading this book, people will gain more insights
into why we think men’s, women’s, boys’, girls’ and mixed doubles gives
tennis so much more width and breadth and can really help the growth
and popularity of tennis. We say thanks to Marcia for doing such a great
job on this fantastic book about our rich American doubles history.”

From a Grand Slam event Doubles Champion:
“Marcia has been able to tell the American doubles story in clear detail.
It is the very fabric of our success in Davis Cup over the last 100 years.
Whenever the U.S. has dominated in Davis Cup it was our doubles that
lead the way. The big singles names got the glory but it was the
doubles point that other countries feared most. American doubles is
who we are. Cutting and crossing, playing big shots at big times.
America is about team in everything we do, school, business, family and
the way we play doubles reflects that teamwork. Marcia Frost did a
great job on the game that doesn’t get enough credit.”
