Everything about Levels Of The Game totally explained
Levels of the Game is a
1969 book by
John McPhee, nominally about
tennis and tennis players, but exploring deeper issues as well.
The book is structured around a description of the semi-final match in the
1968 U.S. Open Championship at
Forest Hills, played between
Clark Graebner and
Arthur Ashe; Ashe won, and went on to win the Championship, becoming the only
amateur to win it in the
Open era).
It alternates between sections which describe the match, and profiles of the two contestants, who had come to tennis from completely different environments. They had known one another for half their lives (they were both 25 at the time).
This was a concept that interested McPhee, who wanted to explore how such long interaction, and the dissimilar backgrounds of the two, shaped the encounter between them.
It was described by Robert Lipsyte of
The New York Times as "the high point of American
sports journalism".
