I am about half-way through this book, which follows the circuit through 1991. A couple of things stand out.
1. they are extremely mean to Sabatini, and imply, not too subtley, that she is stupid and has no personality
2. it is amazing the shift in public opinion regarding Seles. Seles is probably one of the most universally admired athletes because of the stabbing, and the way she has conducted herself since. But when she was new and dominating, she was universally loathed by both the players and press. Like she recently said, she was only young! Who doesn't want to be an actress or model when they are that age!(I've got to say that I am a bit of a hypocrite. I didn't warm to her back then.......)
3. I am reminded of some of my favs of that time:
Kathy Rinaldi
Carling Bassett
Catarina Linqvist
Lisa Bonder
Andrea Temesavari
Helen Kelesi
Is Anna K going to be added to the list of beauties who only dipped their toes into the top 10, only to fall away?
What do other people think of this book?
I am also DYING to get my hands on a copy of Pam Shriver's Passing Shots.......
