Topspin

Rating:
Summary: Topspin doesn't live up to cover talk.
Review: Despite claims that the book gives great insights into the top players, you'll find that it mainly focusses on Ania Bleszynski and Jonathan Stark. There is some thoughts on Stefan Edberg as well.I find Elliott Berry waxes poetic on too many occassions. He seems more intent on telling us how he knows a lot about tennis, and gives players insights that even they didn't realize. If you're into more of a wishy-washy view of the tennis scene, this may be fine. If you prefer a harder hitting account, look into buying Courts of Babylon by Peter Bodo, or a similar book.
