Description

John McEnroe's long-awaited follow-up to his best seller.

He is one of the most controversial and beloved athletes in history, a tennis legend and a volcanic, mesmerizing presence. But after reaching the top of his game - what came next? Fifteen years after his international number-one best seller You Cannot Be Serious, John McEnroe is back and ready to talk.

Now the undisputed elder statesman of tennis, McEnroe has won over his critics as a brilliant commentator at the US Open, Wimbledon, and other Grand Slam tournaments - with outspoken views on the modern game, its top players, and the world of 21st-century sport and celebrity. Who are the game's winners and losers? What's it like playing guitar onstage with the Rolling Stones, hitting balls with today's greats, confronting his former on-court nemeses, getting scammed by an international art dealer, and raising a big family while balancing McEnroe-size expectations?

In But Seriously, John McEnroe confronts his demons and reveals his struggle to reinvent himself from champion and tennis legend to father, broadcaster, and author. The result is a richly personal account, blending anecdote and reflection with razor sharp and brutally honest opinions, all in McEnroe's signature style. This is the sports book of the year: wildly entertaining, very funny, surprisingly touching, and 100 percent McEnroe.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Awful if you want to hear about tennis

I find I can't relate to him at all and I'm on chapter 7 and it just sounds like he is bragging about being famous and wanting to be more famous. Pretty awful book so far.

Very entertaining

Mr. McEnroe does an excellent job narrating this book. He is fun to listen to. The contents are an entertaining and interesting look into the deeper parts of a person known best for his skill and antics on the tennis court.

Game, Set, Match!

Really enjoyed John just chatting about his life and hearing about his life on and off court. The casual approach was great. He is a wonderful commentator at the Tennis Matches and I enjoy his honest, ex player approach in the booth and this is continued with the book with stories about the family, lessons learned and career highs and lows. Talks about big matches, but not so much as to to distract from this story. Considered rude, loud and angry by many - all have to admit he was a great player. He has mellowed with age and he comes across as a thoughtful, intelligent and loving family man with his wife and kids at the center of his world. Sounds sappy, but he has lived his life in the spotlight and seems to have dealt with the pressures and come out the other side with no chip on his shoulder or many issues!
Loved it.
