  Jimmy
Connors took the tennis world by storm like no player in the history of the game. A shaggy-haired working-class kid from
the wrong side of the tracks, he was prepared to battle for every point, to shout and scream until he was heard, and he
didn't care whom he upset in doing so. He was brash, he was a brat. He was a crowd-pleaser, a revolutionary. And he won
more tournaments - an astonishing 109 - than any other man in history, including eight Grand Slam singles titles.
 

  Only now is Connors ready to set the record straight on what really happened on and off the court. The rivalry
with John McEnroe, that frequently threatened to turn violent, with Bjorn Borg, and Ivan Lendl. His romance with Chris
Evert, which made them the sweethearts of the sport. The escapades with his partner in crime, Ilie Nastase. The deep
roots of the fierce determination that made him the best player on the planet.
  
  This is no genteel memoir
of a pillar of the tennis establishment. Unflinching, hard-hitting, humorous and passionate, this is the story of a
legend - the one and only Jimmy Connors.

  Product Description
  Review
  "An engrossing five-setter,
with intense exchanges and no tiebreakers... Like the individualists Humphrey Bogart, Frank Sinatra, Pete Rose and Chuck
Berry, Connors was authentic. The book reflects that swagger." (New York Times)
  
  "Eye-poppingly
indiscreet: The Outsider makes most sports autobiographies feel like very tepid affairs in comparison." (Daily Mail)
  
  "Exhilarating... served up at full pelt, as if Connors were charging at readers with his double-handed
backhand, complete with sweaty grunts." (Mail on Sunday)
  
  "As spiky and uncompromising as you would
hope... candid and funny." (Marcus Berkmann Daily Mail, Sports Books of the Year)
  
  "Kudos to Jimmy Connors
for valiantly trying to argue in his autobiography, The Outsider, that the current spectacle of Roger Federer, Djokovic
and Nadal - whose courtesy and dignity generally match the superlative quality of their play - has nothing on his own
era of incontinent litigiousness, oncourt swearing, childish tantrums, umpire abuse, celebratory crotch-grabbing and
mutual hatred between top players. Connors' book has the ring of honesty... a magnificent snapshot of his era." (Ed
Smith New Statesman)
  
  "If the book spontaneously combusted in your hands, you wouldn't be a bit
surprised." (Private Eye)
  
  "Connors was the real thing: a genuine rebel; he was very good at tennis
because he was very good at getting angry. Now he's angry about people not understanding his anger. This doesn't make
for an easy read, but it does make for a good one." (The Spectator)
  
  "An examination of a legendary
American pugnaciousness... no one ever made winning look quite the rutting alpha-male necessity that Connors made it
appear." (Observer)
  
  "The Outsider, a rather overdue autobiography by Jimmy Connors, reads like the
American played: full of testosterone and attitude. As a study of the making of an alpha male it is fascinating. Even if
[Connors] didn't deal with his successes very well - succumbing to the trappings of fame all too easily - boy, did he
work for them. No doubt there have been more gifted players, but no one has won as many tour victories and none, surely,
have given themselves so totally to the animal spirit of competition." (The Times)
  
  "Clear as flying
chalk: The Outsider takes in a volley of vignettes." (Independent on Sunday)
  
  "An ace." (Daily Mail)

 
  "A gutsy streetfighter on court, the brash US tennis star covers rivals, romances and revelations with
unsurprising candour, but also a welcome dash of humour." (Sport magazine)
  
  "Essential reading... With
characteristic humour Connors sets the record straight on the tennis circuit on and off the court." (Daily Express)

  The
confession of Jimmy Connors
  By Matt182 on 18 July 2014
  I've been a bit of a Jimmy Connors fan for
years after watching re-runs of his matches on Wimbledon and seeing him interviewed a couple of times at Wimbledon, most
notably the time before last I saw him at The Championships ('08 or '09) before making a surprise appearance this year
and doing some commentary for BBC. When I found out he had released an autobiography last summer I knew that I had to
get it. I have previously read John McEnroe's autobiography, which I really enjoyed and found insightful so I was hoping
for the same from Jimmy.
  
  I wasn't around when Jimmy was playing professionally and I got into tennis in
'06 so my interest in McEnroe and Connors comes from footage of how they played and who they are now. I'm a big fan of
current tennis but I think I find something exciting about the way it was back then and the personalities which is quite
different from nowadays.
  
  The book starts in an interesting time in his career in 1981 where he tells us
people have been saying he's 'finished, washed up, done' and how he was determined to work his way back to the top and
be better than anyone believed he could be. The story takes us through Jimmy's upbringing in East St Louis, Illinois and
how his mum taught him to play alongside his grandmother nicknamed 'Two-mum', due to her being like a second mother to
him. The struggles are discussed including a savage attack on public courts where his mother, gran and grandfather were
brutally assaulted by two youths. His mother went on to be his manager through his professional career alongside coach

  Awesome!
  By Die hard tennis fan on 5 Jan. 2014
  Really enjoyed
this and I read lots of autobiographies, especially sports. I gave this 5 stars because you get exactly what you would
expect from Jimmy Connors- totally engaging and fast paced coverage of the most exciting era in tennis from arguably the
most influential individual the game has seen. I would recommend this to any sports fan, certainly any tennis fan. I
would guess that if you did not like Connors this book is unlikely to change your view of him. Uncompromising would be a
good description of him and his book. If you remember the reason tennis was so great in those years - you did not simply
watch and admire the skills as you do now, you were completely drawn into the drama and the characters involved - you
will love it.
