The Outsider: My Autobiography Paperback / softback
by Jimmy Connors
Paperback / softback
Description
Jimmy Connors took the tennis world by storm like no player in the history of the game.
A shaggy-haired working-class kid from the wrong side of the tracks, he was prepared to battle for every point, to shout and scream until he was heard, and he didn't care whom he upset in doing so.
He was brash, he was a brat. He was a crowd-pleaser, a revolutionary. And he won more tournaments - an astonishing 109 - than any other man in history, including eight Grand Slam singles titles. Only now is Connors ready to set the record straight on what really happened on and off the court.
The rivalry with John McEnroe, that frequently threatened to turn violent, with Bjorn Borg, and Ivan Lendl.
His romance with Chris Evert, which made them the sweethearts of the sport.
The escapades with his partner in crime, Ilie Nastase.
The deep roots of the fierce determination that made him the best player on the planet. This is no genteel memoir of a pillar of the tennis establishment.
Unflinching, hard-hitting, humorous and passionate, this is the story of a legend - the one and only Jimmy Connors.
