Tennis to Win Reviews
-
read this in 1974. Billy Jean King knows tennis. A step by step guide.
-
Billie Jean King's Big Game is all about the serve and volley. Written in 1970, any modern tennis player will generally say that is not the Big Game at all. This is a book written for the wooden racquet era.
Nevertheless, King has a number of good tips to keep in mind, including small bits on strategy, percentages, conditioning and strokes in general. This book won't teach you tennis, but it will reinforce ideas and give you something to mull over.
Personally, I appreciate the old-style game, and enjoyed reading about the mentality that went into it. I'm also a fan of Billie Jean King, so reading her personal perspective was rewarding.
