read ny good (tennis) books lately? (advice needed)

I ask this because I've just finished John Feinstein's 'Hard Courts' about the (tennis) year 1991 (published 1992) and liked it very much. Got the book more than 3 years ago and it took me that long to start reading it (sorry, Amy). Such an old book, I felt; and tennis had never been my number one sport; and I didn't know it was such a good read; about the 'dedication, the triumphs, the loneliness, the scandals, the sweat, the traumas, the compromising, the corruption...' - sounds a bit youknowwhatimean....but it's true.
And here's my question: do you know something similar and more up to date? Not a seventeen-year-old's biography or the Life and Opinions of...(put in a player's name). But something along Mr Feinstein's line and written as well?
my advice is don't read feinstein--ever..seriously.
