Break Point: The Secret Diary of a Pro Tennis Player
Vince Spadea with Dan Markowitz
At the start of the 2005 season, Vince Spadea was the only over-30 player besides Andre Agassi to be ranked in the top 20 on the world professional tennis circuit. Break Point is his highly-acclaimed account of the 2005 season, where he provides an inside look at the 11-month tour, including battling injuries, changing coaches and agents, a slight from Davis Cup captain Patrick McEnroe, and his improbable climb back up the rankings. Along the way, Spadea considers taking two months off to appear on “The Bachelor,” practices with a combative John McEnroe in New York, and prowls Hollywood with comedian Jon Lovitz trying to pick up actresses. Included are colorful, personal anecdotes about Andre Agassi, Venus and Serena Williams, Andy Roddick, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Martina Navratilova, Maria Sharapova, Jennifer Capriati, Tim Henman, and Marat Safin. This updated softcover edition includes Spadea’s response to criticism of his book voiced by others on the tour, including Lindsay Davenport and James Blake. He also briefly reflects on the 2006 and 2007 seasons, and updates readers on his personal life.
