About this listen

Read by John McEnroe and Patty Smyth.

He is one of the most controversial sportsmen in history and a legend of Open Era tennis. But after reaching the top of his game - what came next? A decade after his international number-one best seller Serious, John McEnroe is back and ready to talk.

Now the undisputed elder statesman of tennis, McEnroe has won over his critics as a matchless commentator and analyst at Wimbledon and other Grand Slam tournaments - with outspoken views on the modern game and its top players. He has continued to compete on the court, winning the ATP Champions Tour a record six times, and has travelled the globe to play in charity events.

More surprising have been the calls from TV producers, inviting John to riff on his famous hot temper in cult shows such as 30 Rock and Curb Your Enthusiasm. And then there is his longstanding passion for American contemporary art.

In But Seriously John McEnroe confronts his demons and reveals his struggle to reinvent himself from ex-champion to father, broadcaster and author. The result is a richly personal account, blending anecdote and reflection in an inspirational reevaluation of what it means to be - and stay - successful.

A very interesting read would recommend this book to all even if your not into tennis

John McEnroe great book

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

He comes across differently than his common media perception. His reaction to unreasonable trophy hunters is right.

John is a genius

Much as I am enjoying the content, his voice is driving me nuts. I am reduced to listening to it in short bursts because the frenetic quality of his delivery is not pleasant to listen to. Great at commentating on a tennis match but someone else needs to narrate this book.

Should have got someone else to narrate.
