Tennis Soap Opera

A more-than-likely realistic look at the female pro-tennis circuit from Martina's erstwhile lover, Rita Mae Brown. Includes an erotic lesbian encounter in a motel room between female tennis star, the dominant Carmen Semana, and her latest conquest, the submissive Bonnie Bishop.

Sweet revenge served with a spin

This book, clearly about the author's time as Martina Navratilova's tennis tour spouse, manages to relive the time withoutjilted love bitterness (or even mentioning the tennis star). Very good description of the tennis circuit. Contains one of Brown's best ever scenes: the verbal battle between two friends (winner gets a Tiffany stick pin) to name the most brand names of movie theatre candy -- hilarious and uniqely Rita Mae Brown.
