A must for any coach and player
A great book, as a coach I use it regularly for putting together my lesson plans. There are various drills covering the important situations you will find yourself in a match ranging from beginner to professional. However any professional drill can easily be simplified and applied to a player of a lesser standard.

As a player, I would describe it as the equivilent of learning the openings of chess or another way is tennis by numbers. Knowing the drills throughly you will know where you put the ball without thinking about it and your opponents likely reply. I'm learning to improve my strategy and have experienced an improvement in my performence

a very good book for any tennis player.
if you want to achieve something in tennis you must read this book ,it shows you the real tennis. also if you follow the patterns like I did you can get the results lattre on.
