Bud Collins, Boston Globe, dean of American tennis writers, member International Tennis Hall of Fame
“Although few novelists have touched pro tennis, knowledgeable Bob Mitchell makes a big splash with Everything on the Line, filled with surprises and humor, set in a future Obama presidency (Malia's). In a fierce rivalry for No. 1, an American and an Italian (he with a Stradivarius racket!) battle across the planet.”
Peter Bodo, senior editor and chief columnist, Tennis magazine
“Bob Mitchell’s novel, Everything on the Line, is a complex, rich, challenging story weaving together the author’s vast knowledge of tennis, history, art, and poetry.”
Joel Drucker, ESPN, author of Jimmy Connors Saved My Life
