    A Great Read From One Of The Game's Greatest Players
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2014*

" The Education Of A Tennis Player " is one of my favorite tennis books, partly because of all the tips & Rod's insight into the game. That book is focused on the Open Slam in 1969. His memoir is far more reaching into his experiences in the game throughout his life & even more than " The Education Of A Tennis Player " into his personal life & personality. For the student of the game, this is the best look into professional tennis I have ever read & even though the pro game has changed, you can't know where you are if you don't know where you've been. For any serious player today, this is a must read & should be a required read. His insights into the game as it moved into the Open area changed my understanding a great deal & you can't loose by getting this information from both a player who lived the time & a great champion of & for the game. I have read this twice so far & it's a consistently enjoyable read. I agree with another reviewer who said it should be fleshed out more as I would be perfectly happy to be able to spend more time with my favorite tennis player. Perhaps Rod should have a look at Tolstoy to get a good lesson on going for the tome of his life. Tolstoy did, after all, play tennis............Another aspect I liked, which is very much in the style of " The Education Of A Tennis Player " is that the text reads more like a conversation or story telling than a narration. This makes Rod's memoir read more like a personal journal or that he is sitting there in your head telling you his story. Since I have listened to a number of interviews with him, it's easy to hear his voice through his book.To conclude, even if you aren't familiar with Rod Laver, this is a great book. If you are, you will even more get an idea of the history of the game & the only two time Grand Slam winner.I also would like to express my personal thanks & appreciation to him for the inspiration I have gotten from watching him play & reading his books. I even got a chance to shake his hand at a Legends stop in Nashville in the early 80's. I got to see him warming up for the finals against Rosewall which Laver won & then he teamed up with Ken in the doubles final. I still consider that the greatest tennis day of my life.So read this book & enjoy !

    Review of Rod Laver: An Autobiography
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2016*

This is the story of the world of Australian tennis during the 1950's and 1960's when Australians were among the best tennis players in the world. It is also the story of the early days of professional tennis as told by its greatest player, Rod Laver.Laver is the  only man ever to win the Tennis' Grand Slam in Singles twice. More astonishingly, although Laver's status as a professional player prevented him from competing in the four Grand Slam tournaments for a significant portion of his best years as a player, he still won all four of the Grand Slam tournaments twice in the same year-in 1962 before he turned pro and again in 1969, after tennis professionals were allowed to compete in these tournaments again.Laver is the only player ever to win the Grand Slam in Singles two times. He stands alone among players as having accomplished such a physically and psychologically demanding achievement.

    GOAT player, not so much as co author.... still recommended.
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2018*

Like the man himself, this is a pretty straight ahead retelling of his life.  I wanted to keep reading , I didn't have to ... if that tells you about the actual storytelling quality. I think Mr Laver was interviewed about his life and then the co writer put it to paper.  Sadly, it comes out like an extended interview for a tennis magazine instead of compelling reading or storytelling.  I did learn about how amateur and professional tennis clashed and then ultimately were united and the circus that was pro tennis in the 60's.  Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I read it , I just wish someone worked with Mr Laver who pushed harder for deeper and more interesting angles and stories ... I'm sure he has them.
