Hard Courts: Real Life on the Professional Tennis Tours
by John Feinstein — First Edition, 1991 (Villard Books / Random House)
In Hard Courts, bestselling author and journalist John Feinstein delivers an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes account of life on the men’s and women’s professional tennis circuits. Following the game’s biggest stars through victory, burnout, and controversy, Feinstein captures the high drama and human stories that define the sport at its most intense.
Featuring firsthand reporting and insider access, Hard Courts portrays legends such as John McEnroe, Martina Navratilova, Steffi Graf, Boris Becker, and Jennifer Capriati in the early years of modern tennis — exploring both the glory of championship moments and the personal costs of elite competition.
