Photo Credit: Carol Newsom." "At eight I decided that I wanted to be the best tennis player in the world. From then on, it was always in the back of my mind." For Tracy Austin, that dream came true when she was seventeen. Then it was taken away - twice. Still the youngest U.S. Open singles champion in history - and currently a sports commentator for NBC and USA Cable Network - at fourteen Tracy Austin was the youngest competitor at Wimbledon. In 1979 at the Italian Open, she stopped Chris Evert's six-year, 125-match clay-court dominacne. Number one in the world in 1980, she suddenly began to develop debilitating injuries, and then at twenty-one - an age when most people are just beginning theirs - Austin's career was over. She attempted several comebacks, and when she was finally physically ready to compete in the 1989 U.S. Open, she was in a near-fatal car accident. Tracy Austin's insightful autobiography is testimony to the fact that she has fully recovered. Beyond Center Court is the story of a young girl in pigtails and braces making her way through the world of big-money tennis and high-stakes matches. When she began playing the sport, Austin used a sawed-off racket and began demonstrating her intuitive ability to return every ball with an inner determination and talent few children possess. In spite of her increasing fame, Austin became one of the world's most normal celebrities - getting straign A's in high school and spending most of her time with her family. And this is a pattern that has prevailed as much as her steadiness on the court - even today she is an outstanding winner, an exemplary role model, and a gracious survivor. Tennis took Tracy Austin to every important national and international tournament, where she competed with Martina Navratilova, Chris Evert, Rosie Casals, Billie Jean King, and Pam Shriver. Her television commentating took her closer to the men's game of John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors, and Andre Agassi, and considerable charitable work has intorduced her to such celebrities as Ronald Reagan, Peter Jennings, Bill Cosby, Prince Philip, Farrah Fawcett, and Johnny Carson. These are all featured in this entertaining and reflective book, as are the members of her strong and supportive family, who've stood with her through it all. From Forest Hills to induction into the Tennis Hall of Fame, from a mixed doubles championship at Wimbledon with her brother John to analyzing the sport's newest rising stars, in Beyond Center Court Tracy Austin tells an inspiring story not only about life in tennis but also about what tennis teaches about life. As Austin says, "At the end of my life, I will want to have said lots of I love yous and I'm sorrys. I will want to look back to a life of love, laughs, learning, and trying everything I wanted to do.I'm a businesswoman and a TV commentator, and I intend to be a good wife and mother - and none of these rely on a good backhand." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
