He has Biofiled Don Budge, Jack Kramer, Pete Sampras, John McEnroe, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Chris Evert, Venus Williams, Billie Jean King, Marcelo Rios and many more of the new generation, including Grigor Dimitrov, Ryan Harrison, Caroline Wozniacki, Agnieszka Radwanska.

His first tennis book “Marcelo Rios: The Man We Barely Knew” was published in late 2011 and was praised by Nick Bollettieri: “Magnificent. Excellent. You did it in a very interesting way.” Scoop’s latest book “Facing Federer” will be available in Summer 2013 at Amazon.com. As a player, Scoop has played on the grass at Forest Hills, Crandon Park on Key Biscayne, The U.S. Open hard courts, achieved a #8 USTA Eastern 35s ranking (2011) and won 25 singles (and one doubles) titles since 1997, the most recent coming in New City NY in June 2013. He reached the finals of the 2013 New Jersey State Mens 45s red clay championships at Arlington Players Club in June 2013.

A big welcome to Scoop!

Scoop is a very welcome addition to the Tennis Frontier - I reviewed his first book about Marcelo Rios on tennis.com and also found he was a keen boxing fan like myself.

Scoop's first book is a great read and the style reminded me a little of legendary British sports writer Hugh McIlvaney.

You can purchase this book at Amazon on the link below:

He is currently working on his next book, "Facing Federer" which is due out shortly.

"Facing Federer" sounds great. Has the publisher set a release date yet?

Thanks all. Federer book proof copy should be here within days. If it's good to go, with no glaring errors, could be ready for US Open. (Hopefully) where it will be available in the book store like the Rios book. Also available at amazon.com (via create space self publisher).

Excellent addition !!! :)

i remember there was a documentary named "facing Federer".

From tennis channel site :
"Facing Federer is a compelling look at the personalities and events surrounding the 2004 Tennis Masters Cup, the prestigious $4.45 million tournament circuit finale won by Roger Federer."
