I have played tennis for about 45 years, been rated as high as 5.5, and taught tennis for a couple of years. I have read about every tennis book you can buy. This book is full of good content. It is well worth buying, reading, and referring back to for reinforcement. It does not get 5 stars because it badly needs the hand of a good editor. The errors in it (that an editor would correct) are very distracting.
This is a great book for anyone who wants to improve their games to the next level. The book has three sections: 1. Understanding Your Style and Your Opponents. 2. How to Beat Any Style 3. Quick fix Mental toughness tools.
I recommend reading mental toughness section first since these are the areas you don't normally learn from regular tennis lessons. It totally changed how I see and approach my games. My body movement changed dramatically having different mental state. It relaxes you, gives you more clear focus and consistency.
I use this book before and after my match to improve my game mostly mentally, but also to improve my strategy. Highly recommended!
I liked the way the author kept it simple and concise. In tennis there is so much to remember to become a good player from strategy, shot selection and mental attitude. This book gives you a short course in all. Easy to read and understand.

I would often hate how angry I got playing matches, so I stopped playing them. This book changes it all. It taught me that I can be a sportsman. I can compete and enjoy that, not the result. It has great strategies. Love it. The book is a great compliment to the Inner Game of tennis book and Winning Ugly.
Without question, this is the best strategy book ever! It is filled with simple clear suggestions on how to beat any style player, both singles and doubles. It also delivers on fixing one’s mental game. Even better, it tells you ‘How to Improve’. I have made notes from this book and review them before I play matches, and even before I practice. It all helps my game. I “Highly Recommend”!
Good solid book on tennis that is an easy read. This seems like a good book to review on an ongoing basis. I enjoyed the way he laid out how to beat particular types on played in a simple list. I also enjoyed how he paid out statistics and probabilities of winning certain shots.

As a lower level player (3.0-3.5) I'm not sure there's any new information here. Not much to this little pamphlet/booklet...not really worth the money.
I bought this mostly out of curiosity. Had not helped me in any way. Saying "if your opponent does this, then do that " is akin to saying""if you want to build a car, first design the components them commence construction ". The theory is correct but of no practical value in the real world.
