Readers will find this an intelligent and lively tennis guide. It will give readers the same great advice from the first edition (learning proper position, shot selection, mental toughness, etc.) and new information about the most important strokes they should learn, new defensive strategies, advanced drills, choosing a league, winning and losing as a team, and more. Updated diagrams and illustrations of the court, positions, and shots will demonstrate what is being explained in the text for readers. Readers will find new information in every chapter, plus four new chapters with new illustrations and cartoons.
