Download or read book The Art of Tennis written by Dominc J. Stevenson and published by Meyer & Meyer Sport. This book was released on 2022-05-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opening with Wimbledon 2019, The Art of Tennis covers the excitement of the sport up to the profound silence of the Covid-19 pandemic—when no tennis was played for a year—through Wimbledon 2021. As play began to resume, there were many questions surrounding its return, and the author examines these and how the sport of tennis fights to prevail as the virus continues to redefine modern life. The book follows the latest comebacks from Roger Federer, Serena Williams, and Andy Murray and looks at how Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Alexander Zverev reached their first major finals. In the women's game, Barbora Krejčíková, Bianca Andreescu, and Sofia Kenin make big stage breakthroughs, and Naomi Osaka continues to rule on hard courts. In late 2020, the calendar looked different. The tours adapted as best they could, and some remarkable tennis took place in empty arenas. 2021 saw tournaments finding a way to coincide with the virus that is reshaping daily life. With thoughtful observations, author Dominic Stevenson comments on the many aspects of professional tennis, both on and off the courts, providing his own unique perspective on this beautiful sport.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art of War: Art of Tennis compares the similarities between warfare and tennis. It emphasizes the importance of the role of the team including the parents, the coach, and the player, in helping players to be able to play to their full potential, much like the way a king, his tactical advisor, and the combat general all have their roles in running a strong nation. The most difficult unanswered questions about playing competitive tennis and trying to reach world-class status are answered by examining the experiences of top junior and professional players and comparing them to one of the most well-known military books in history, The Art of War by Sun Tzu, a renowned ancient Chinese military tactician and philosopher. From pre-planning, mental attitude, understanding the scoring system, anticipating opponents from their physical cues, anger management to decision making in the match, The Art of War: Art of Tennis will help readers understand the common difficulties of competitive tennis to mentally prepare parents, coaches, and players alike for the road ahead.
