Summary:

In this candid memoir, Borg takes us through the major moments in his career, shares insights into his rivalry with John McEnroe and their legendary 1980 Wimbledon final, and explains his sudden retirement at the age of twenty-six. Borg writes about his childhood, his early stardom, and his uncomfortable relationship with fame, alongside all the highs and lows of his unmatched career. This look behind the curtain at an enigmatic player who has fascinated generations of tennis fans, is ultimately a remarkable look at the making of a sporting legend and, for readers who know nothing about tennis, a rare glimpse into an extraordinary, compelling life.
