The instant Sunday Times bestseller 'A life of two wonderfully
entertaining halves' Sunday Times Rewind to 1971, and Sue Barker's
coach is sending his 15-year-old tennis protegee to a junior
championship in France, alone, with a one-way ticket, telling her
she'll have to win the money to pay for her return fare. Sue hides
in the grounds of the hosting tennis club overnight, to avoid
paying for a hotel. The next day, she walks onto court and smashes
it. Five years later, and she's Britain's No 1. The same
combination of grit, grace and talent took her to the top of live
Sports TV. And now, after four decades on camera encouraging other
legends to share their stories, she is telling her own. Going all
in for her once-only autobiography, Sue takes us inside the
showbizzy world of 70s and early 80s tennis. She reveals the
battles she fought for hard-won success in two careers and gives us
a ringside seat on the nation's biggest sporting dramas, and a
fascinating insider's understanding of competitors under pressure.
This is the remarkable life story of a tennis champion, an
award-winning broadcaster who has brought sporting history into our
living rooms for decades, and a trail-blazing woman who has always
called the shots.
