Probably the single greatest tennis book to ever be written. Rod Laver...who both Pete Sampras and John McEnroe consider the best of all time.....is writing this book people! You know Rod Laver...the only guy to win two (2) Grand Slams. Basically what you have here is the best tennis player ever...writing a book. Hence, the best tennis book ever written.As far as I'm concerned ( www.RadioTennis.com) this is the Magna Carta of tennis writing.Crip Notes:- get in shape-hustle for every point -don't ever give up-The first point of every game is big-Close out your oppenentIt's frickin brilliant!
Greatness with Modesty

This is a great autobiography about Rod Laver, the only man to win the Grand Slam twice. Laver mixes autobiography with some "how to" tips at the end of each chapter. This is an interesting read, both from a historical perspective of the game, and the changes it goes through from the amature to the open era, and also just traveling with Rod through his landmark athletic feat. Rod tells his story in a with complete depreciating modisty that makes you respect the man even more.
