Roscoe Tanner, one of the 10 best tennis players during the seventies and eighties, was the good boy of the sport during the advent of the brash and flamboyant tennis star. In this highly captivating personal account, Tanner revisits his career and shares his stories about the game and the players who made tennis a buzz sport during his era. Tanner's life after tennis was much less charmed, however, and included a year in jail. His life spun out of control following a series of bad choices that hurt himself and others—including those he loved the most. He writes with fresh honesty about this period, as well as his efforts to rebuild his life.
