A confessional story that reads like fiction, this is the true story of
a famed tennis star who went from being ranked fourth in the world,
dueling the sport's greatest players to lying to police in several
countries to avoid jail. Roscoe Tanner's life is a complicated story
that include years of one-night stands with groupies, a private fortune
amassed and then lost, multiple failed marriages and relationships,
business plans that fizzled, fleeing to Europe for a last chance, the
pounding on the door by two German detectives that led to an involuntary
stay in the Karlsruhe jail, and, ultimately, finding redemption. Double
Fault is Tanner's story-arrests, cons, lies, and all in an attempt to
share it with others to prove that when you hit bottom you can still
pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep moving forward.
