Overview
The outcome of most tennis matches is not determined by how players hit the ball, but rather, by how they play the game. In this book, TennisONE contributor Allen Fox focuses on developing winning strategies to defeat any opponent in both singles and doubles. Fox explains the basic geometry of points so commonly overlooked even by advanced players. He then teaches players at all levels how to answer key questions such as: Where to hit the ball, when, and how hard. Which strokes to choose under what conditions. How to attack an opponent’s weaknesses. How to play percentage tennis. If you have been mired in lessons working on your strokes without seeing results in your match play, this book will open your eyes and teach you a whole new approach to winning. Allen Fox is a coach, psychologist, and former American top 10 and Davis Cup player, recognized as one of the top coaching minds in sports.

Comments: This book by Allen Fox is a general view of those things which make or break your game. It touches, superficially but convincingly, on all the aspects of playing from strategy to individual shots, also doubles strategy and weather conditions. The author convincingly addresses issues of misguided strategies (not playing with one's strengths) and failing strategies (rushing to change one's strategy because of a false impression). Also, he touches on those things that have made champions, before and after this book was written. All in all, this book is a great addition for those who did not have the luxury of having a coach when growing up. Its strength lies in the ability anybody has to build up a game based on it.
