In the golden age of tennis, when players were just learning how to become media personalities, men like McEnroe, Connors, Borg and Lendl ruled the court. In this tell-all memoir, former top ten ranked tennis star and chief McEnroe rival, Bill Scanlon, presents an unfettered look at the good old days of tennis when some of the most colourful (and infamous) players in history went head-to-head, changing the game forever. Bad News for McEnroe is in part a revelation of the feud between McEnroe and the author that began when they were teenagers, but the essence of the book is the wonderful and surprising on-and off-the-court high jinks of such notable players as Vilas, Borg, Lendl, Nastase and Connors, all of whom Scanlon played and knew intimately. From locker room fights to on-court breakdowns and blow-ups, Scanlon's tale of life on the pro tennis circuit will shock and delight tennis fans everywhere.
