No one had ever played tennis quite like Björn Borg. With his incredible athleticism,
powerful shot-making and distinctive style, he became a sensation after he burst onto the
scene aged just 15. As he ascended to the pinnacle of men's tennis, Borg experienced
unprecedented stardom and success that changed the game forever.
Hailed as one of the most talented players to ever step onto a tennis court, Borg collected
the game's highest honours, including eleven Grand Slam titles - with five consecutive
Wimbledon titles - establishing himself as one of the greatest of all time. Then he stunned
the sporting world by announcing his retirement at the age of 26 and disappeared from
tennis.
After all these years of silence, Borg is ready to share everything. In this candid memoir,
Borg takes us through all the major moments in his career, shares insights into his rivalry
with John McEnroe - considered one of the best in the sport's history - and their legendary
1980 Wimbledon final, and explains his shock retirement. Borg writes candidly about his
personal life - for so long kept under wraps - including his childhood, his early stardom
and his uncomfortable relationship with fame, alongside all the highs and lows of his
unmatched career.
For the first time, readers will get Borg's own account of his career, his
choices, and the experiences that shaped him as a person, from his childhood
right up to today. This look behind the curtain at an enigmatic player who has
fascinated generations of tennis fans, is ultimately a fascinating look at the
making of sporting legend and, for readers who know nothing about tennis, a
rare glimpse into an extraordinary, compelling life.
