Tennis Strategy: How To Beat Any Style Player - Quick-Fix Book

Excellent content, poor editing
I have played tennis for about 45 years, been rated as high as 5.5, and taught tennis for a couple of years. I have read about every tennis book you can buy. This book is full of good content. It is well worth buying, reading, and referring back to for reinforcement. It does not get 5 stars because it badly needs the hand of a good editor. The errors in it (that an editor would correct) are very distracting.

Definitely worth it!
This book does not aim to explain in details all the strategies in a tennis match. It is meant to give you fast advices during a match as you get mentally stressed and think something is not going right. It does the job pretty well. Moreover, you can still read it outside of a match and search on the internet or other books deeper details into the matters showed in this book, so it works really well as a strategy guide as well as a learning method guide.

This book inspired me to play matches again!!
I would often hate how angry I got playing matches, so I stopped playing them. This book changes it all. It taught me that I can be a sportsman. I can compete and enjoy that, not the result. It has great strategies. Love it. The book is a great compliment to the Inner Game of tennis book and Winning Ugly.

Good solid book on tennis that is an easy read
Good solid book on tennis that is an easy read.This seems like a good book to review on an ongoing basis.I enjoyed the way he laid out how to beat particular types on played in a simple list.I also enjoyed how he paid out statistics and probabilities of winning certain shots.

Great book for both tennis strategy and mental toughness!
This is a great book for anyone who wants to improve their games to the next level. The book has three sections:1. Understanding Your Style and Your Opponents.2. How to Beat Any Style3. Quick fix Mental toughness tools.I recommend reading mental toughness section first since these are the areas you don't normally learn from regular tennis lessons. It totally changed how I see and approach my games. My body movement changed dramatically having different mental state. It relaxes you, gives you more clear focus and consistency.I use this book before and after my match to improve my game mostly mentally, but also to improve my strategy. Highly recommended!

Mostly commonsense, very small book, nothing original
Very thin book, I had expected more content. Very easy to read. I found nothing new inside this book (I am an ITN 5 level intermediate tennis player)

No new information here in this booklet
As a lower level player (3.0-3.5) I'm not sure there's any new information here. Not much to this little pamphlet/booklet...not really worth the money.

Give it a C
I bought this mostly out of curiosity. Had not helped me in any way. Saying "if your opponent does this, then do that " is akin to saying""if you want to build a car, first design the components them commence construction ". The theory is correct but of no practical value in the real world.
