The greatest sports stars characterize their times. They also help to tell us who we are.John McEnroe, at his best and worst, told us the story of the 1980s. His improvised quest for tennis perfection, and his inability to find a way to grow up, dramatized the volatile selfabsorption of a generation. His matches were open therapy sessions, and they allowed us all to be armchair shrinks.In this book, Tim Adams sets out to explore what it might have meant to be John McEnroe during the turbulent 1980s, and in his subsequent lives, and to define exactly what it is that we want from our sporting heroes: how we require them to play out our own dramas, and how the best of them provide an intensity by which we can measure our own lives.At the heart of this book are two fascinating charactersMcEnroe and Bjorn Borgand the extraordinary rivalry that defined them, a rivalry as compelling and dramatic as Ali and Foreman or Spassky and Fischer. Their great Wimbledon match of July 5, 1980the central event in Adamss narrativewas, as he writes, a confrontation between two highly developed states of mind: a struggle between extreme consciousness and an absolutely studied containment of consciousness.Its a book thats full of pleasures, according to the London Sunday Times, and will appeal to any tennis fan or serious sports reader.
