‘Tim Adams is one of the best of our new sportswriters… Like the best essayists, Adams has the gift of informed digression and scatters fragments of autobiography throughout the text… Being John McEnroe is a book to be read while you queue for tickets outside the All England Club, but it will also reward more concentrated attention, not least because, at its best, it is an elegy for a vanished world.’ Jason Cowley
