The wildly entertaining Sunday Times bestseller
'This book deserves to be seeded No. 1' Daily Mail

Fifteen years after his massive bestseller Serious, John McEnroe is back and ready to talk.

Who are the game's winners and losers? What's it like playing guitar onstage with the Rolling Stones, hitting balls with today's greats, breaking bread with his former on-court nemeses, getting scammed by an international art dealer, and raising a big family while balancing McEnroe-sized expectations?

But Seriously is a richly personal account, blending anecdote and reflection with razor sharp and brutally honest opinions. This is the sports book of the year: brilliantly funny, surprisingly touching, and 100% McEnroe.
