Pressestimmen
'A smashing book retelling the tale of the 1975 Wimbledon final when Arthur Ashe beat Connors in a remarkable contest'.'There has surely never been a more extraordinary and bewitching encounter than the 1975 showdown between Arthur Ashe and Jimmy Connors. Forty years on, their final remains a lesson in how sporting encounters can be won in the head just as much as on the field of play.'Â 'Ashe vs Connors is a journey from a bygone era of 'rock star' behaviour and simpler times and is brought to life with precision by Bodo. Anything as informative and enthralling as this can only add to the sporting knowledge of an aficionado and Ashe vs Connors certainly does just that.'â There has surely never been a more extraordinary and bewitching encounter than the 1975 showdown between Arthur Ashe and Jimmy Connors.

The first thing the reader needs to know before buying this book, and perhaps there should be a disclaimer, is that the author, Peter Bodo, dislikes Jimmy Connors very much. Before buying the book, I read an article in which Bodo discussed writing this book. He talked about how he and Connors had a falling out years ago and quit speaking to one another over a misunderstanding about something Bodo wrote about Connors. He said that he wasn't going to bother to try to change Connors's mind about that, because basically, Bodo didn't find Connors easy to talk to anyway. He finds him uptight and insecure, unlike the confident and intellectual Ashe, whom he enjoyed conversing with very much. Other tidbits from that article which show Bodo's mindset toward Connors is when he mentions Connors's "proud to be stupid" attitude and he talks about Gloria Connors, "in her simple way" believing that Bodo was part of their "team" when he wrote favorably about her son. Bodo's condescension and disdain toward the Connors family is clear when he talks of them in this way. Bodo also admitted that it may seem that Connors gets the "short end of the stick" in this book, but according to him that is a myopic view because "Connors got more than his share of the glory, and we won't even get into the issue of mortality." I take that to mean that it is ok to portray Connors unfairly in this book because he got more glory than Ashe, and darn it, he's lived a lot longer too and that's not fair. For these reasons, I waited a while before buying this book. I had hoped to read it in the bookstore and save myself from putting money in Peter Bodo's pocket. However, I could never find it in the bookstore, so at least I did purchase the cheaper Kindle version. This is what I discovered in reading this book. Most of it is just borrowed material from other people's books. Practically all of the sections written about Connors are just taken from Jimmy Connors's own book, The Outsider. He also borrows liberally from a biography of Pancho Segura, written several years ago, and also from Joel Drucker's book about Connors. I suppose this is because Bodo would get no cooperation from Connors or anyone close to him. What was interesting to me is what he chose to mention from Connors's book and what he didn't. For instance, Bodo mentions at least three times in his book that Connors bragged of never reading a book and that school was torturous for him. What he doesn't choose to mention is that Connors revealed in his own book, The Outsider, that he had a reading disability, a form of dyslexia that prevented his eyes from coordinating in order to follow the lines in a book. Bodo must have known this, because it was often cited in the publicity for The Outsider, but it was much better to portray Connors as willfully ignorant rather than as someone who struggled in school due to something that was not his fault. Another thing that caught my eye is when he talks of Gloria Connors's resentment toward her daughter-in-law, Patti, and says that Gloria barely spoke a word to her until her death in 2007. In Jimmy's own book, he talks of his wife's poor relationship with his mother, but he says that they became closer in the later years of his mother's life and he tells a touching story of finding a note tucked into her bible after her death in which she tells Jimmy that he should stay with Patti because Patti genuinely loves him. I guess these kinds of details don't fit the image that Bodo is trying to present; it might make the reader empathize with Connors more and Bodo didn't want that. He wanted it clear that Connors = bad, and Ashe = good. Let's not complicate things. The book also contained some errors. Some that caught my eye: Connors's son, Brett, was born in 1979, not 1980. Jimmy and Patti's marriage separation was not at the end of 1983, because they were already reconciled by the 1983 U.S. Open. And lastly, the worst one for a tennis writer to get wrong was citing that Connors's great run to the U.S. Open semis at age 39 came in 1990, when it actually occurred in 1991. There were other sloppy errors too, but these occurred in the epilogue which made them easier to remember offhand. I will say that I did enjoy some parts of the book. It was interesting to know a little more of Arthur Ashe's growing up years. I just did not appreciate the author's obvious bias toward one man and against the other. That completely destroyed the credibility of the book. My recommendation is, by all means buy this book if you are an Arthur Ashe fan. You will love it. If you are a Connors fan, or just any tennis fan who cares about a fair and balanced account of Wimbledon 1975, then take a pass on this one.
Peter Bodo is a terrific, world-class writer on the tennis scene, and has many wonderful columns and books to his credit. His columns at ESPN and tennis.com are (perhaps) the most insightful published today. Which makes this book all the more disappointing. There is very little new material, and even Mr. Bodo's usual insightful writing style is somewhat muted. The project just seems more rushed and superficial than his usually excellent work. I would highly recommend his previously published work "Courts of Babylon," but take a pass on this particular book.
A cracking read with an excellent set-up: the background of the waning years of amateur tennis and Open tennis' early days provides a solid backdrop for the friction that developed between Ashe and Connors (and in all honesty, between Connors and pretty much everyone outside of his camp; this from my clear memory and not from Bodo's book). If some feel Connors gets the short end of the stick in this telling, I'd reply that while he might have been (and still be) a fine friend to those he cares for, his relationships with the rest of the world have always been fraught with confrontation. Unlike Ashe, there's little evidence that Connors motivated others to do great things, as Ashe did. That doesn't make Connors evil, but it also doesn't qualify him as admirable beyond his accomplishments on the tennis court.As to the book itself, I felt the post-match Epilogue would have been better crafted if its accounting of each man's life after 1975 was in the form of a timeline. I enjoyed the beginning, but it becomes a recitation of their later years in a quick, first then/then that fashion. As prose it reads as brief and almost perfunctory; had it been a straightforward timeline there'd have been no literary bar to meet.As good as Courts Of Babylon? No. But if you're a fan of tennis, its history, and American social history it's something that should be on your shelf.
Pete Bodo's Ashe vs Connors is as exciting and entertaining a read as the match and the men that inspired it. As a longtime tennis fan as well as a fan of these both of these players, I was able, as I read, to reflect again on the lives of these two players who were both insiders and outsiders of the game I love; and I was impressed by not only the obvious differences but also the subtle similarities in their journeys through the tennis world they inhabited. I also got the chance to be informed or reminded of numerous points in those journeys (like Connors' double-Pancho mentoring or the River Oaks clubhouse incident) that were new to me or that I'd forgotten. I strongly recommend this book to newcomers to reading about the tennis scene as well as to those who may have immersed themselves in it over the years.
This was a great read. I learned so much about the history of these two great players, and how they ended up on the opposite side of the net in such a historic match. If you're a tennis fan, you should definitely give this book a read.
