Synopsis

From the Inside Flap:
This is the first and only book devoted to the entire strategy of the game of tennis. The novice, the buff, the expert player will all find tactics and techniques for every level of play -- from beginner to intermediate to advanced.

Here you will discover how to dominate your opponent, how to "read" his shots, how to win against the net rusher, why Jimmy Connors doesn't always follow his serve to net, what strategy Arthur Ashe used to win Wimbledon, why Billie Jean King has the best forehand approach shot in the woman's game, and hundreds of other tips on serve, half-volley, drop volley, underspin backhand, chip, block, lob, dink, and drive.

Special attention is given to the development and mastery of timing -- a subject largely overlooked in other books; and the most complete tennis glossary to be found in any tennis book will enable you to at least talk a championship game.

Pancho Segura's Championship Strategy is by tennis' top teacher, the greatest strategist of the game. He has taught Jimmy Connors and other stars. In this book he teaches you -- whatever your age, sex, or court experience -- to play a better game. Wheteher you are pre-teen, promising Junior, middle-aged beginner, housewife, businessman or woman, twelve or twenty or seventy, this is the only book you'll ever need to play -- and win.
