Too Good

The toughest opponents of Scott Draper's tennis career turned out to be obsessive compulsive disorder and the cystic fibrosis that killed his wife Kellie in 1998, leaving him a widower at 25. Draper describes two years of playing through grief, losing his drive for the game, eating and drinking too much, and finally starting to recover on the golf course. He goes on to marry again and, after taking the 2005 Australian Open mixed doubles title with Samantha Stosur, retires from tennis and turns to commentary and to his goal of succeeding on the US golf tour. His sports psychologist and friend Michael Fox adds commentary along the way.

Yaro Starak, a big tennis fan and founder of Entrepreneurs-Journey.com, mentioned Scott Draper among the tennis biographies he enjoys for their behind-the-scenes drama.
