Anett Kontaveit’s Tennis Journey to be Immortalized in Upcoming Book
Tennis enthusiasts are in for a literary treat as Estonian publishing house Kirjastus Pilgrim announces the upcoming release of a book chronicling the life and career of former world No. 2 Anett Kontaveit.
The book, set to hit shelves in November 2023, will delve into Kontaveit’s remarkable ascent to the pinnacle of tennis, as well as the challenges she encountered along the way. Estonian writer Eia Uus will pen the biography, capturing Kontaveit’s journey from her early days on the court to her retirement at the age of 27 due to a degenerative back injury.
Kontaveit’s story is one of resilience and determination. As the highest-ranking player from Estonia in history, she faced immense pressure and expectations. The book will shed light on her unwavering spirit and the sacrifices she made to achieve her tennis dreams.
The announcement of the book comes shortly after the news that Venus Williams is also writing a health and wellness book. This surge in tennis-related literature reflects the growing interest in the sport and the personal stories of its athletes.
Kontaveit’s retirement last summer marked the end of an era for Estonian tennis. However, her legacy will live on through this upcoming book, which promises to inspire and motivate aspiring tennis players and fans alike.
