Alejandro Olmedo 1953 at Club Las Terrazas in Lima, Peru

A boy from Arequipa, a country's dream,

and the faith that carried him across the world.

The human story of Alex "The Chief" Olmedo — the son his family sent out on faith and a dream, who became a champion and then chose family over fame. Told by his daughter.

This is not just the story of the titles — the Davis Cup, Australia, Wimbledon — though those came too. It's the story of the journey behind them: the crossing alone, the years of struggle and the grit to overcome them, the faith that never left him, and a man who through it all chose family over fame. Drawn from years of his own memories, family papers, and travels between Los Angeles, Arequipa, and Lima. Be the first to know when the book is here.
