If you play tennis or just love the game... you will LOVE this book.... I've read it --- while at Indian Wells tennis tournament --- which was fun because Connors was in the stands along with Gilbert and it was a great back story to read about their past matches while watching them coach a new generation. I am a club player and never tire of the insight and easy to use - practical tips - for playing club tennis. This latest version --- on audio --- is awesome!! Definite must read for the tennis lovers!!!!
