This is a great autobiography about Rod Laver, the only man to win the Grand Slam twice. Laver mixes autobiography with some "how to" tips at the end of each chapter. This is an interesting read, both from a historical perspective of the game, and the changes it goes through from the amature to the open era, and also just traveling with Rod through his landmark athletic feat. Rod tells his story in a with complete depreciating modisty that makes you respect the man even more.
