Product Description
For anyone who has ever picked up a tennis racquet, played in a tournament, or watched the Open, here is a rich compendium of quotations on the history, tradition, agony, and ecstasy of one of the world's most challenging sports. Tennis pro Scott Perlstein has collected in these pages the observations and insights of tennis champions, coaches, commentators, pioneers of the sport, poets, psychologists, comedians, and many others. How do the pros really feel about the game and what advice do they have for making it in this highly competitive sport? What thoughts have gone through a player's mind at the moment of winning Wimbledon or the U.S. Open? How did Jimmy Connors' mother influence her son and how did the Williams sisters influence each other? What does Pete Sampras say about Boris Becker and what is Martina Navratilova's opinion of Chris Everet? (6 x 7, 334 pages) Scott Perlstein is a tennis pro who has been teaching the game for 31 years. He is a top-ranked Northern California senior tennis player and is the author of Winning Tennis, Winning Doubles, and Essential Tennis. Perlstein holds a law degreee from Golden Gate University.
