Extrait : Aranzazu « Arantxa » Isabel María Sánchez Vicario (née le 18 décembre 1971 à Barcelone) est une joueuse de tennis espagnole, professionnelle de 1985 à 2002 et numéro un mondiale au classement WTA en 1995. Durant sa carrière, elle a remporté quatre tournois du Grand Chelem en simple et six autres en double dames. Caricature de Sánchez pour 20 minutosArantxa Sánchez Vicario découvre le tennis à l'âge de quatre ans, quand elle suit ses deux frères aînés (Emilio et Javier) à l'entraînement et tape des balles sur un mur avec sa première raquette. En 1989, elle crée la surprise en battant l'Allemande Steffi Graf, alors reine incontestée au classement WTA et archi-favorite, lors de la finale de Roland-Garros : à dix-sept ans et demi, elle devient la plus jeune championne de l'épreuve. Fine tacticienne et dotée d'un jeu de jambes hors-pair, elle se forge rapidement une réputation de battante sur le circuit, par sa volonté constante de retourner toutes les attaques et son refus de concéder le moindre point à l'adversaire. C'est ainsi qu'elle est un temps surnommée le "bourdon de Barcelone". Elle réalise sa saison la plus fructueuse en 1994, quand elle décroche son deuxième Roland-Garros et l'US Open, respectivement face à Mary Pierce et Steffi Graf, ainsi que six autres épreuves. Le 6 février 1995, au bénéfice de ces résultats d'exception, elle devient pendant douze semaines numéro un mondiale en simple puis, la semaine suivante, numéro un en double : elle est ainsi la première joueuse depuis Martina Navrátilová en 1987 à occuper simultanément le sommet de la hiérarchie dans les deux disciplines.

Great book!

Tedious tally of match results
This was not a good read at all.

If you're used to the rich provision of personal anecdotes, gossips, childhood history and details on the off court side of a player in other tennis biograhpies like *Chrissie*, *Monica from fear to victory*, *Steffi: public image, private pain*, you'll find this book exasperating. In a nutshell, the book is but a long and tedious tally of match results by Arantxa Sanchez from her days as a junior player. There is basically nothing in the book that gives you a better idea as to what kind of a person Arantxa is on and off court, or what she likes to do in her spare time, her favourite food, her relationship with her family, her agent, her fellow players. It's quite unimaginatively written and presented.

I do not recommend this book.

Good, informative and interesting
A well written account of the life and career of one of the greatest modern tennis players - Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario.Though not written with direct contact form Sanchez-Vicario, the authors manage to take a great many interviews and quotes from the champion herself and many of those around her and turn it into an informative book.The book deals primarily with Arantxa's tennis career and the many results and highlights of it, along with her personality and her fighting spirit which took the game to new levels.A great book for any fan and a good job from the first time authors. ...
