Game, Set and Match to McEnroe August 29, 2008
Mr. S. Bailey
This intelligent, elegantly-worded essay is too slight to be a comprehensive, authoritative account of the man whom Adams suggests often bears the manner of `a frustrated hanging judge'. It is a shame because this is a book is littered with insight and humour into the character and qualities that make McEnroe what he is. Indeed, on many occasions Adams manage to combine the two. For instance, take Adams approving remarks on McEnroe's commentary style: "Almost uniquely amongst those who talk about sport, it seems to me, he can respond in the here and now to what is happening on court. He makes it up as he goes along `I never talk about what Rene Lacoste did in 1922,' he [McEnroe] says. Nobody gives a rat's arse'". Much of the revelatory power and critical analysis of the work is also undone by the candour and self-awareness that McEnroe himself demonstrated in his autobiography Serious [2003] which was published at around the same time as Adam's account.
