Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "On the court, no one was more intense. On the air, no one is more scathingly honest. You can imagine what his autobiography is like. "I'd like to think there's something magical about the McEnroe name in tennis, that I electrified the sport, or brought it up to another level. Some of that is because of my commentary work -- people see another personality to me -- but it's also because of the ferociousness that I displayed on the court. People ask me, "Do you feel your behavior was abominable?" I don't think about that. There's no point. Why think about that? But it doesn't mean that it never comes up in my mind. I can practically hear you saying, "Come on, McEnroe! You're rich, famous, and healthy. You have a loving family, a more than comfortable life. Why not just relax and enjoy what you have?" Here's what I say back to you: I'm working on it, hard. But at the same time -- I'm a serve-and-volley player. My style is, as it's always been, to move forward, always forward. My standards for myself are, as they've always been, extraordinarily high. Why should I change now?" John McEnroe was just an eighteen-year-old amateur from Queens when he stunned the tennis world by making it th the Wimbledon semifinals in 1977. He turned pro the next year; three years later, he was ranked number one in the world. McEnroe dominated tennis in the eighties, winning three Wimbledon and four U.S. Open titles, and helping the United States win five Davis Cups. His 1980 Wimbledon finals match with Bjorn Borg is still considered one of the greatest matches ever. But there were demons to fight, and now McEnroe takes them all on. You Cannot Be Serious is McEnroe at his most personal, a no-holds-barred examination of Johnny Mac, the kid from Queens, and his "wild ride" through the world of professional tennis at a boom time when players were treated like rock stars. Here he candidly explores the roots of his famous on-court explosions, his ambivalence toward the sport that made him famous ("The truth is I didn't really want to pursue it, until it just pursued me:); his adventures and misadventures on the road; his up-close views of colleagues such as "Broadway" Vitas Gerulaitis, Jimmy Connors, Bjorn Borg ("He was magical -- like some kind of Viking god who'd landed on the tennis court"), Ivan Lendl, Arthur Ashe, Ilie Nastase, and others; his opinions of contemporary tennis; and his current roles as devoted husband and father, senior tour player, and often controversial commentator. Funny, biting, close to the bone, this is exactly the book you'd expect -- and want -- from one of the most colorful figures of our time." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
