A boring account of an year in competitive circuit. Focuses more on non tennis matters. Expected more from this book. Most autobiographies include people who have reached the zenith of their profession and their experiences. Would have been an interesting book had it covered the psyche of players who are on the fringes of top 20 but yet who are more in the dangerzone of losing in their rankings and the intensity of preparation and so on.

“Please win a match, Vince”
Interesting diary of playing the pro tennis tour of the early 2000’s. Easy addictive enjoyable read for tennis players and tennis fans of that era. Somewhat depressing as reader gets to know and like Vince, rooting for him, yet he continues to loose matches. A reality show of competitive tennis at the top of the heap.

A pretty interesting read if you're a tennis fan. He gives you a good insider's look into the life of a pro tennis player.
