For McEnroe, the persona hinted at in public remains more interesting and complicated than the person he gives us in this book.

In his new role as TV commentator (and in his short-lived run as Davis Cup captain) McEnroe has tried to make the unlikely switch from tennis enfant terrible to tennis elder statesman.
