Andy wakes to find Grace beside his bed—but he doesn’t recognise her, remember his tennis club or realise he has spent twelve years in the hospice. Grace has come to collect unpaid subscriptions and bar bills; Andy has questions, suspicions and a furious encounter with Rosie, the robot vacuum cleaner.

The Fantastic Confabulations of an Ageing Tennis Player
Inspired by Rip Van Winkle, the short story by Washington Irving, The Fantastic Confabulations of an Ageing Tennis Player is the fourth and final book in this ‘Confessions’ series. Andy Murray wakes up twelve years late, trapped in a hospice that feels more like a prison, with his memory missing, his bar bill unpaid, and the US Open still somehow to be won. A darkly comic, surreal finale to the cult Confessions of an Ageing Tennis Player series.
Have a great US Open!
