		He also details the pervasive anti-Semitism that kept Angela Buxton on the fringes of British tennis, although she was just as determined as Gibson, nine years her senior, to reach competitive heights.
		Buxton, never a big winner at singles and only occasionally at doubles, obviously was generous with her reminiscences.
		Buxton and Gibson were thrown together, the author suggests, because both were such outcasts that they desperately needed not just a practice partner, but someone to talk to.

		These were reasons enough for Angela Buxton and Althea Gibson to draw toward each other—not just on the court as doubles partners, but also many years later, during the moment of life-threatening crisis that confronts Gibson at the beginning of Bruce Schoenfeld's The Match: Althea Gibson & Angela Buxton.
		Buxton, for example, took to the spotlight with some ambivalence, even keeping her "day job" at a tennis store in London after becoming the first British women's player to reach the Wimbledon finals in 17 years.
		She enjoyed much more longevity than Buxton, in part because she had no choice; unlike Buxton, she never saved much money and thus had to play far past her prime to make ends meet.
