Synopsis: Jennifer Capriati was a teen tennis phenom at age thirteen. Then, like many other athletes who begin their professional careers in their early teens, Capriati began to feel burdened by the pressures of fame, fortune, and the need to win. Three years after her professional debut, Capriati had learned to hate the game of tennis. She bowed out of the scene to try to live the life of a normal teenager -- but that, too, proved to be difficult, and after some very public mistakes, Capriati decided to turn her life around and try to regain her love of the sport. In 1996, she re-emerged on the tennis scene. She stumbled a few times, but by the turn of the century she had proven that she still had the skills, talent, and determination to be a superstar. This exciting biography traces the life of one of tennis's most controversial stars. For more information on the Matt Christopher Sports Bio Bookshelf, please turn to the last pages of this book.
