Roger Federer

An intimate biography of tennis's living legend Rafael Nadal. Tennis is not short on history. When Nadal arrived on the scene in 2005, the record for men's singles titles at the French Open stood at six, held by Bjorn Borg. Almost twenty years later, Nadal has more than doubled Borg's total with a mind-boggling fourteen titles. His record will undoubtedly remain his signature achievement - the stat that will define him in memory twenty, fifty, even a hundred years from now. Fourteen certainly looks like the only major tennis record that will never be broken even if Nadal, a modest champion despite his flashy résumé, rejects that kind of definitive thinking. Nadal has won big and won often on any of tennis's surfaces, securing two Wimbledon titles on grass and four U.S. Opens on acrylic hardcourts. But clay, the slowest and grittiest of the game's playgrounds, is where it all comes together best for his explosive movement and warrior mindset. Clay is the canvas on which he has mastered his choreography, underlining the precision, speed, and raw power required to accomplish one of the most impressive sporting achievements of the 21st century - it is the essential stuff of his life and success. Legendary sports reporter and bestselling author Christopher Clarey has interviewed Nadal and his coaches from his first French Open victory at nineteen, marking his debut as a rising star on the premier clay-court event in the world, to his most recent victory in 2022, closing out an astonishing career as one of the greatest players of all time. Brimming with behind-the-scenes insight into the story of a global sporting icon, The Warrior is a must-read account for the loyal sports fan - and anyone interested in the evolution of excellence.

Bear Grylls: Never Give Up

THE NO. 1 BESTSELLERWINNER OF THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2024'As elegant and powerful as a Federer backhand ... It's Kitchen Confidential for tennis.' Ed Caesar'Well worth a read if you want the inside track on life on the lower rungs of the tennis circuit. Warts and all.' Judy Murray----When Conor Niland was 16, he was chosen to hit with Serena Williams at Nick Bollettieri's famed tennis academy. Conor, the Irish junior number one, was feeling a bit homesick. Serena, also 16, already owned her own house beside the academy. Conor Niland knows what it's like when Roger Federer walks into the dressing room ('Ciao, bonjour, hello!'), and he has had the exquisitely terrible experience of facing Novak Djokovic in the world's biggest tennis stadium - while suffering from food poisoning. But he never reached the very top. The Racket is the story of pro tennis's 99%: the players who roam the globe in hope of climbing the rankings and squeaking into the Grand Slam tournaments. It brings us into a world where a few dozen super-rich players - travelling with coaches and physios - share a stage with lonely touring pros whose earnings barely cover their expenses. Painting a vivid picture of the social dynamics on tour, the economics of the game, and the shadows cast by gambling and doping, The Racket is a witty and revealing underdog's memoir and a unique look inside a fascinating hidden world. ----'Conor Niland may only have managed a career-high ranking of 129 - only? that is some achievement in itself! - but The Racket, his account of how he managed this, is up there with the best half-dozen books on tennis ever written.' Geoff Dyer'Blending a passion for his chosen sport with a realistic study of the traumas of the tour, The Racket offers a brilliant insight from Ireland's greatest ever tennis player.' John Boyne'A brilliant, unvarnished look at a brutal sporting life.' Michael Foley, Sunday Times'One of the best Irish sports books of the last decade' Kieran Shannon, Irish Examiner'This will rightly join the list of The Best Irish Sports Books Ever Written. A superb insight into professional tennis from the ground up' Paul Howard'I ate this book up ... reveals the sacrifices, commitment and decidedly unglamorous side of life on the tennis circuit' Sinéad Moriarty'A really wonderful read ... Conor Niland has delivered an all-timer for tennis and sports journalism' Ashlee Vance'Genuinely such a brilliant book, a brilliant read' Ciarán Murphy, Second Captains'Unsparing in his depiction of the drudgery of tennis' Mike Jakeman, Spectator'Compelling' Tennis365.com'Brilliant book, I inhaled it' Jonathan Drennan, Sydney Morning Herald'Devoured it in a day ... I've read many tennis autobiographies: this is one of the very best' Charles Arthur'If it's not a contender for Sports Book of the Year, the world has gone mad.' Fionn Davenport, Off The Ball'Sure to become a must read of the tennis literature canon' Paul Perry'Witty and insightful ... an homage to the game he clearly still loves' Anna Carey, Irish Times'Honest and droll' Laura Slattery, Irish Times'His funny, sometimes painful, memoir, is a brilliant insider's look at the brutally competitive world of tennis as well as a meditation on moments missed by inches.' Sunday Independent'A crushing reminder of the grist from which sporting greatness emerges' The Economist'A visceral, melancholy and often self-lacerating book ... History is usually written by the winners, but this intelligent, unvarnished, emotionally draining memoir shows why an also-ran's perspective can be just as valuable' Andrew Lynch, The Business Post'A brutally honest assessment of his career and the effort it took to take him to the margins of the world's elite.' Tom Lyons, The Currency'An excellent book' Denis Hurley, Irish Farmers Journal'A searingly honest account of the real world of tennis' Irish Country Living

The New Autobiography

Finding My Virginity

Andre Agassi ist einer der talentiertesten Tennisspieler der Welt, doch sein Erfolg war hart erkämpft. Bereits von frühester Kindheit an trieb ihn sein Vater zum Tennis bis das Wunderkind aus einer Einwanderer-Familie durch eiserne Disziplin und stundenlanges, gnadenloses Training zum rebellischen Superstar auf dem Centre Court wurde. »Ich hasse Tennis«, gestand Andre Agassi, als er auf der Weltrangliste ganz oben stand - und abstürzte. In seiner Autobiografie spricht er offen und ehrlich über schmerzhafte Niederlagen, Erfolgsdruck und ein Leben zwischen Perfektionsdrang und Rebellion. Sein spektakuläres Comeback entgegen aller Widerstände und seine Liebe zu Steffi Graf machten Andre Agassi schließlich zu der großen Persönlichkeit, die er heute ist. Er fördert die Schulbildung benachteiligter Kinder und kann ihnen das zurückgeben, was sein Triumph ihn selbst gekostet hat. "Open" ist das schonungslose und zutiefst emotionale Selbstporträt eine Ausnahme-Sportlers, das die innere Dynamik des Tennisspiels und die äußere Dramatik des Ruhms so eindringlich beschreibt wie nie zuvor. »"Open" erscheint weniger als ein Buch über den Tennis-Sport und einen seiner erfolgreichsten Vertreter, sondern vielmehr wie ein Roman einer versuchten Selbstverwirklichung, die viele Jahre zum Scheitern verurteilt war.« Thomas Klemm, FAZ

"The first sleep book by a leading scientific expert--Professor Matthew Walker, Director of UC Berkeley's Sleep and Neuroimaging Lab--reveals his groundbreaking exploration of sleep, explaining how we can harness its transformative power to change our lives for the better. Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life--eating, drinking, and reproducing--the purpose of sleep remained elusive. An explosion of scientific discoveries in the last twenty years has shed new light on this fundamental aspect of our lives. Now, preeminent neuroscientist and sleep expert Matthew Walker gives us a new understanding of the vital importance of sleep and dreaming. Within the brain, sleep enriches our ability to learn, memorize, and make logical decisions. It recalibrates our emotions, restocks our immune system, fine-tunes our metabolism, and regulates our appetite. Dreaming mollifies painful memories and creates a virtual reality space in which the brain melds past and present knowledge to inspire creativity. Walker answers important questions about sleep: how do caffeine and alcohol affect sleep? What really happens during REM sleep? Why do our sleep patterns change across a lifetime? How do common sleep aids affect us and can they do long-term damage? Charting cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs, and synthesizing decades of research and clinical practice, Walker explains how we can harness sleep to improve learning, mood, and energy levels; regulate hormones; prevent cancer, Alzheimer's, and diabetes; slow the effects of aging; increase longevity; enhance the education and lifespan of our children, and boost the efficiency, success, and productivity of our businesses. Clear-eyed, fascinating, and accessible, Why We Sleep is a crucial and illuminating book"--]cProvided by publisher.

“Why We Sleep is an important and fascinating book…Walker taught me a lot about this basic activity that every person on Earth needs. I suspect his book will do the same for you.” —Bill Gates A New York Times bestseller and international sensation, this “stimulating and important book” (Financial Times) is a fascinating dive into the purpose and power of slumber. With two appearances on CBS This Morning and Fresh Air's most popular interview of 2017, Matthew Walker has made abundantly clear that sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when it is absent. Compared to the other basic drives in life—eating, drinking, and reproducing—the purpose of sleep remains more elusive. Within the brain, sleep enriches a diversity of functions, including our ability to learn, memorize, and make logical decisions. It recalibrates our emotions, restocks our immune system, fine-tunes our metabolism, and regulates our appetite. Dreaming creates a virtual reality space in which the brain melds past and present knowledge, inspiring creativity. In this “compelling and utterly convincing” (The Sunday Times) book, preeminent neuroscientist and sleep expert Matthew Walker provides a revolutionary exploration of sleep, examining how it affects every aspect of our physical and mental well-being. Charting the most cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs, and marshalling his decades of research and clinical practice, Walker explains how we can harness sleep to improve learning, mood and energy levels, regulate hormones, prevent cancer, Alzheimer’s and diabetes, slow the effects of aging, and increase longevity. He also provides actionable steps towards getting a better night’s sleep every night. Clear-eyed, fascinating, and accessible, Why We Sleep is a crucial and illuminating book. Written with the precision of Atul Gawande, Andrew Solomon, and Sherwin Nuland, it is “recommended for night-table reading in the most pragmatic sense” (The New York Times Book Review).
