People such as Maurice McLoughlin, a contemporary champion in 1915, wrote “’Strokes on the left- hand side of a right-handed player, and vice versa, are taken in what might be called the most ‘unnatural’ position in tennis. The backswing is much more hampered than in any other stroke. The strength of the wrist is much more demanding…all these things make the ordinary backhand stroke an awkward one…’ J. Parmly Paret wrote in 1927 ‘The backhand stroke is one of the greatest stumbling blocks for every beginner…if you’re like the average player, you’re pretty relaxed on the forehand, but when you see a ball coming to your backhand you cringe, ‘Dear God, it’s a backhand’(cited in Tabak, 1991, p.

Tennis Glory Ever Could
A CHAMPION’S MIND For my wife, Bridgette, and boys, Christian and Ryan: you have fulfilled me in a way that no number of Grand Slam titles or tennis glory ever could Introduction Chapter 1 1971–1986 The Tennis Kid Chapter 2 1986–1990 A Fairy Tale in New York Chapter 3 1990–1991 That Ton of Bricks Chapter 4 1992 My Conversation with Commitment Chapter 5 1993–1994 Grace Under Fire Chapter 6 1994–1995 The Floodgates of Glory Chapter 7 1996 My Warrior Moment Chapter 8 1997–1998 Wimbledon Is Forever Chapter 9 1999–2001 Catching Roy Chapter 10 2001–2002 One for Good Measure Epilogue Appendix About My Rivals Acknowledgments / Index Copyright A few years ago, the idea of writing a book about my life and times in tennis would have seemed as foreign to me as it might have been surprising to you. After all, I was the guy who let his racket do the talking. I was the guy who kept his eyes on the prize, leading a very dedicated, disciplined, almost monkish existence in my quest to accumulate Grand Slam titles. And I was the guy who guarded his private life and successfully avoided controversy and drama, both in my career and personal life. But as I settled into life as a former player, I had a lot of time to reflect on where I’d been and what I’d done, and the way the story of my career might impact people. For starters, I realized that what I did in tennis probably would be a point of interest and curiosity to my family.
