No. 1 Club: Icons of Men's Tennis

Players who reach the top spot in the ATP rankings automatically become members of the most exclusive club in tennis, the ATP No. 1 Club, and are lauded as the icons of the men s game. ATP No. 1 Club presents a dynamic visual celebration of those champions, each of whom has inspired millions to follow and play the sport, allowing fans to explore the careers and lives of the best players of the modern era of men s tennis.

The book chronicles the rises, rivalries, and individual contributions of these 29 men, and brings to life images imprinted in our memories, reflecting the players grace, passion, and skill. Organized chronologically from Ilie Nastase to Jannik Sinner there are richly written profiles of each World No. 1, paired with a spectacular collection of photographs that capture the emotion, craft, and evolution of champions across five decades.

This dynamic blend of history and imagery reveals how each player has shaped the modern game, and, from on-court battles to behind-the-scenes moments and intimate off-court portraits, ATP No. 1 Club creates a rich photographic timeline of men s tennis at its highest level and charts a complete trajectory of the sport since the beginning of the ATP Rankings. The more than 300 photographs include such iconic imagery as Bjorn Borg with an eight-year-old Andre Agassi, rivals Agassi and Pete Sampras in the heat of battle, and Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic at the peak of their powers.

With a preface by Andrea Gaudenzi, chairman of ATP, and a foreword by tennis legend Rod Laver, every tennis fan will need this in their library.
