  • 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.

  • My Tennis Journey
    Legends Series: Randall King – My Tennis Journey Randall King never set his sights explicitly on professional tennis. A four-time US Chinese National champion, his journey began from his hometown of Portland, Oregon, before he ventured throughout the Pacific Northwest, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, globetrotting on tour, then Taiwan, and ultimately landed in Hong Kong, a place where he has called home since joining Citibank here in 1980. His game found a new lease of life and immediately became an ever-present force on the local tennis scene, winning seven singles and nine doubles titles in local majors during a 6- year span. He made his presence felt immediately the first time he played Davis Cup for Hong Kong, when he helped steer a young local contingent, whose starters were barely out of high school, to its maiden victory in 1984. This is his story. Born on April 2, 1950, King grew up at a time when the undercurrent of the Chinese Exclusion Act was still prevalent in the States. It was a federal law passed in 1882 that prohibited the immigration of Chinese laborers in the aftermath of the great influx caused by the Gold Rush. It was then subsequently extended several times before it was finally repealed in 1943. Although he did not experience this manner of push-back on a personal level, his early tennis years did not begin at the swanky country clubs, but instead at the public park tennis courts where he was a tag-along with his father to his regular get-togethers and he started to play the game against kids brought by other parents.
