Journalist Madeleine Blais joined The Roman Show to talk about her latest book, Queen of the Court: The Many Lives of Tennis Legend Alice Marble. 

She will be at the Miami Book Fair 2023 on Sunday November 19, at 3 p.m. Room 2106.

It is the story of legendary tennis star and international celebrity, Alice Marble

Marble graced the cover of Life magazine, photographed by the famed Alfred Eisenstaedt. She was a glamorous worldwide celebrity, having that year won singles, women’s doubles, and mixed doubles tennis titles at both Wimbledon and the US Open, then an unprecedented feat. Yet today one of America’s greatest female athletes and most charismatic characters is largely forgotten.

Blais talks about the work behind the book and more.
