Think to Win: Strategic Dimension of Tennis, The

Having throughly enjoyed Brad Gilbert's book, I hoped to learn even more from his former coach who shaped Brad into the world class player he was. Unfortunately this book is written in the typical how to play tennis and be better at it. There are pictures showing the different strokes and grips. It's actually not similar to Brad's book at all although it does have a couple examples of how Brad and other players used mental advantages to win matches against better players.If you are a beginner and want to read a good "how to" book, this would be fine. But if you already play and are looking for some useful tips from a master, this doesn't quite fill the bill.

I'm a clay court tennis player 6.0-6.5This book is a contribution to the strategic view of the tennis game undoubtedly.However, the groundstroke instructions are a little "old style" or "antiquated methods". Today the biomechanical research, have shown that the wrist must to be involved in all the groundstrokes, like a kinetic chain. This is the reason of the tremendous power in the modern game. Nevertheless, this book is a very "educational book" of the world of strategic tennis. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I am a certified tennis professional for the USTA and a player myself, wow what an excellent book. A must have for any singles plater

A book of tennis strategy. Some of it I am familiar with and others it was a good review. A good complement to Brad Gilbert's Ugly Tennis.

This book is good for tennis players who are wanting a more competitive tennis game. I would recommend it to middle to high school players (adults as well).

Fox knows what he's talking about, but don't expect much from him. He is socially stunted and a very dissatisfying experience when addressed in person.

Enjoyed this book. It was helpful in understanding basic tennis strategy for someone who has the basics of groundstrokes, volleys and overheads, but needs help understanding where to hit shots and when

I was thinking it was going to give more strategies - what to do when this is happening, etc. I feel it gets too technical with the strokes, just not what I was looking to get out of the book.

This book didn't quite deliver for me. The tactics were fairly bland, and there wasn't much of a "Plan B". And there was more technique than I had hoped for - a lot of space dedicated to racket-gripping could have been spent on tactics. Not quite as thorough as Gilbert's offerings: this is one area where the pupil has surpassed the teacher.

This book is very informative. It offers info on when and how to use the variety of strokes in tennis that makes me feel as though I have the secret strategies to succeed. The only downfall is that it was written years ago so obviously things have changed.

This is a book I 100% recommend to anybody who's has a sound technique but has no clu how to play the game intelligently.
