Calling the Shots: My Autobiography

In 1971 Sue Barker, who at fifteen was a tennis protégé, was given a one way ticket to France to compete in a junior tournament. Barker made the journey alone although before leaving the UK her coach told her that she would have to win the prize money to buy the return ticket home! Not only did she win but she would later go on to deliver above and beyond every expectation. In her extraordinary career, Sue Barker was the Number 1 British female tennis player who chalked up fifteen WTA Tour singles titles, including the 1976 French Open. The determination, humility, and talent that took her to the top of her game propelled her into the world of live sports TV where she was the face of BBC Television’s Wimbledon coverage. In this entertaining and remarkable autobiography, Sue takes the reader inside the world of international tennis while exploring the hard-won victories that brought her success both as a sportswoman and broadcaster.
