Break Point The Secret Diary of a Pro Tennis Player by Vince Spadea & hand signed by Vince Spadea $50.99 Break Point The Secret Diary of a Pro Tennis Player by Vince Spadea & hand signed by Vince Spadea This book is personally hand signed by Vince Spadea on the inside of the book. DESCRIPTION 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. ABOUT THE AUTHORS Vince Spadea was groomed to be a professional tennis player by his dedicated father and has gone on to play an unprecedented 15 seasons on the ATP tour during a career that began in 1993. He has been ranked as high as 18th in the world during his career and has won nearly 300 matches. Spadea currently resides in Boca Raton, Florida. Dan Markowitz's writing career has led to articles printed in Sports Illustrated, The New York Times, Men's Journal, Tennis, Runner's World, The Village Voice, and Inside Sports. He has also co-authored books with former New York Knicks stars Walt Frazier and John Starks. Markowitz currently lives in White Plains, New York.
