Open: An Autobiography

An autobiography that is both intriguing and disturbing comes from one of the most talented persons to ever set foot on a tennis court. His accomplishment did not come without a price. His training began when he was a small child, and at the age of 13, he was attending a Florida tennis camp, which he loathed. Before winning Wimbledon in 1992, the bright youth became a pro at the tender age of 16, and he writes about his career and personal heartbreaks. He talks openly about his romance with Brooke Shields and later his loss of confidence, and he is a force of energy both on and off the court.

“Life will throw everything but the kitchen sink in your path, and then it will throw the kitchen sink. It's your job to avoid the obstacles”, he writes. “If you let them stop you or distract you, you're not doing your job, and failing to do your job will cause regrets that paralyze you more than a bad back". But Open: An Autobiography is a tale of resurrection—he made a comeback to tennis as the eldest number one player in history.
