The Outsider: a Memoir
The Outsider: a Memoir
“When I placed that call to Mom from Acapulco, I knew I had to get my priorities straight so that I could once again focus on tennis.
The first thing I did was move from my house in the Hollywood Hills. Despite my initial excitement about the place—it was a pretty cool pad—it had never really felt like home. I needed to find a quieter spot, one that required a lot less upkeep, where I didn’t have to worry about the gardener, the pool guy, and the trash man.
I found it nearby. Except for the bedr...ooms, it was a huge open space that even had room in my bar area for a pool table and pinball machine. My favorite spot was next to the fireplace, where I could sit in my leather chair and look out over the lights of LA. A bottle of Suave Bola and I’m set.
Mom came out to stay for a month; I enjoyed some good home cooking and she helped me work on my game and get back in shape for the start of the 1976 season. By the time I hit the courts in Birmingham, Alabama, at the end of January, I’d lost almost 20 pounds.MoreLess
