Description
John McEnroe made waves from his very first Wimbledon in 1977. An eighteen year old qualifier from Queens, New York, he stunned the tennis world by reaching the semi finals, and shocked it with his on court behaviour. What followed was a double act of technique and temperament that set the sport alight: SuperMac, the sublime unorthodox genius, who won seven Grand Slams and seventy seven singles titles; Superbrat, the foul mouthed fireball, furiously yelling at officials, fans, players and himself alike. John McEnroe can be serious. He can also be humorous, impassioned, controversial and painfully hones. This is his autobiography, a book as enthralling and as straight talking as the great man himself.
