- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Enjoyable (if lengthy) book, but there's a bit too much blabber about management groups and agents, something that I don't really think is all that big of a deal as a tennis fan. A;ways seemed to me like the Drew Rosenhauses/Scott Borases of the world populated other sports much more so than tennis. Regardless of that complaint, this is still worth a read - the portrayals of the lesser-known tour players are what give the book its edge.
