1. Open
This autobiography provides a candid and introspective look into the life of one of tennis's most enigmatic figures, chronicling his journey from a child prodigy pushed into the sport by an overbearing father to becoming one of the game's greatest players. It delves into his struggles with fame, identity, and personal relationships, as well as his battles against injuries and his rivalry with other tennis legends. The memoir is remarkably open about his disdain for the sport that made him famous and his use of methamphetamine, which led to a controversial period in his career. It's a story of transformation and redemption, showcasing his evolution from a rebellious teenager to a philanthropic adult who finds true fulfillment in helping others, particularly through his educational charity work.
