Synopsis
Tennis pro John McEnroe dominated the tennis world in the 1980s with his top-ranked play and his acerbic, sometimes explosive, on-court shenanigans. McEnroe recalls those days in this candid memoir. He replays major matches and rivalries, including those with Bjorn Borg and Jimmy Connors. He writes of his personal struggles and his marriages to actress Tatum O'Neal and to rocker Patty Smyth, as well as of fatherhood. And he critiques the world of tennis as he now sees it from the sidelines.

Publisher's Note
A no-holds-barred, intimate memoir by the bad boy of tennis describes his rise to success in the world of professional tennis, his controversial on-court behavior, his marriages to actress Tatum O'Neal and pop star Patty Smyth, and his current roles as father, tennis player, and TV commentator.

Industry Reviews
"As athletes' memoirs go, YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS, written with James Kaplan, is a pretty appealing book. The prose is readable and engaging, if inartfully colloquial at times. And although McEnroe dishes dirt here and there, he mostly tries to be serious, setting out to understand his own behavior and the strange arc of his career. This is unexpected and admirable, and though moments of genuine insight come rarely, he does make a good show of giving it his best shot."
New York Times Book Review - Hugo Lindgren (08/04/2002)

"Although no literary masterpiece, [this book] is certainly good reading....[It] is an honest and revealing book about the rise of a gifted tennis player and what it takes--dedication and ruthlessness-to stay on top."
Literary Review - Christopher Ondaatje (08/01/2002)
