Two New Books on Sports and Style Icons

"ATP No. 1 Club" highlights top male tennis stars while "Allure of Men" spotlights stylish guys in a variety of categories.

Fall is in full swing and that means book publishers are offering new tomes for fans of the printed page.

For menswear enthusiasts, there are two books that delve into different parts of menswear: one about style in general and the other about tennis fashion.

First up is “ATP No. 1 Club: Icons of Men’s Tennis.” The book, published by Phaidon, features a preface by Andrea Gaudenzi, chairman of the ATP, a foreword by former player Rod Laver and text by tennis writer Mark Hodgkinson.

Last year, the ATP created the No. 1 Club to celebrate a group of players, past and present, who have been ranked at the top since the list was created in 1973. Through more than 300 photographs, the book highlights 29 “game changers” — from Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe to Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner — and explores how each one “found a new edge that advanced his cause as well as the entire sport.”

The book is organized chronologically, starting with Ilie Nastase and ending with Sinner, and includes written profiles of each player along with a collection of archival photos. Tackled within the copy are the on- and off-court rivalries as well as a peek behind the scenes that helps bring the sport to life.
