1972. Ilie Năstase wins his first US Open, while reaching both the Wimbledon and Davis Cup finals, and enters tennis history. Nasty explores his highs and lows, the controversies that surrounded him and the enduring impact he has had on the world of tennis. Lovable, charming and generous, yet temperamental, arrogant and obscene, Năstase disrupted the sport’s antiquated etiquette with a great sense of showmanship on the court, and became its first rebel rock star.
