A definite must for tennis fans! I really admired Marcelo Rios' tennis when he played in the 1990s. He was a fantastic talent and is often called the most talented player never to win a grand slam. He was also a bit of an enigma, with a so-called `bad boy' reputation. This is an insightful and fascinatin. Somewhat repetitive anecdotes. The entire book is just a compendium of what other players thought of him . After a while it becomes somewhat monotonous!. Wonderful insight into a great tennis player! Irene P. Malinowski Lots of surprises about a great tennis player. Everyone should read about Marcelo Rios to observe and reflect as to what it takes to be a great tennis player and still remain humble. A Great Book!
