Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Gladiators. That was how they seemed to me, although their game was tennis. It was still an unfamiliar angle for a game I knew so well, a sport I knew in my soul. I had faced a similar crowd of fifteen thousand--more, if you counted the television audience--hundreds of times myself. I had faced an opponent, on grass, clay, and compound. I had faced the ball. And I had faced myself. But when I was on the court, I never realized how much I was on center stage. It seemed more private somehow, when I was playing the game, as opposed to watching it from high up in the network commentators' box, giving the play-by-play to the television audience."
Industry Reviews
"An overplotted but lively look at the frenetic lives of those in the game's upper reaches and at the commercial forces behind them. Less travel and less of Jordan's soul-searching might have sharpened the focus, but this last in a trilogy is the best."
