I'm sorry, but I think it's just too silly to bring out an autobiography when you're 19! I don't like saying this, but this seems like just an easy way to make a lot of money...

I agree, which is why I suggested in an earlier thread on this issue that writing a "how to" tennis guide or similar motivational book aimed at youngsters would have looked a) less commercial, and b) more individual (which Andy normally strives to be). This smells too much of "AM management & brand" and not enough of "Andy".

Not the nicest photo they could have chosen, i agree Whistle

It's the REALLY short fringe - does nothing for him  Whistle

Oh, I won't buy it - he's not had a 'life' yet although I'll admit he's done some pretty exciting things recently but not a books worth Rolling Eyes

All about the money.....................

Probably a "cut and paste" job from his cuttings.

But I have ordered it. blush

More money than sense methinks. One day he might be able to write an interesting autobiography as good as Jonny Macs and Pat Cash.

McEnroe is in his mid forties and Becker is in his mid - later thirties.
