Compelling . . . Hardcore tennis fans will revel in Wertheim's expertise and his proximity to the players and their event; others can't help but be attracted to a vision of two champions and a rivalry in their prime. -- Booklist, starred review
Comprehensive and thoroughly engaging . . . Wertheim's informative backstories behind the clash itself and the contrasting personalities...should convince readers that this drama-filled and high-quality duel of tennis titans gives the historic 1980 Borg-McEnroe final a well-earned run for its money. Recommended. -- Library Journal
Gripping . . . Wertheim's involving tone is well suited to the sweep of his project, which successfully reawakens the excitement of one of the greatest encounters in sports history. -- am NewYork
