Hailed as one of the most talented players to ever step onto a tennis court, Borg collected the game’s highest honors, including eleven Grand Slam titles – with five consecutive Wimbledon titles – establishing himself as one of the greatest of all time. Then he stunned the sporting world by announcing his retirement at the age of twenty-six and disappeared from tennis.

After all these years of silence, Borg is ready to share everything. In this candid memoir, Borg takes us through all the major moments in his career, shares insights into his rivalry with John McEnroe and their legendary 1980 Wimbledon final, and explains his shock retirement. Borg writes candidly about his childhood, his early stardom, and his uncomfortable relationship with fame, alongside all the highs and lows of his unmatched career.

This look behind the curtain at an enigmatic player who has fascinated generations of tennis fans, is ultimately a remarkable look at the making of sporting legend and, for readers who know nothing about tennis, a rare glimpse into an extraordinary, compelling life.
