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.

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.
