| Through the remarkable device of projecting Niccolo Machiavelli s power principles onto the game of tennis, Dr. Sianon Ramo shows the average player how to improve his or her game significantly. According to Machiavelli, the es- sence of success is outthinking your opponentand exploiting his weaknesses, and as Dr. Ramo proves, nowhere does this philosophy work bet- ter than on the tennis court. Most "tenniseers" believe that emulating the technique of top players is the sure, st route towinning a match, but Dr. Ramo shows that thisapproach leads only to disaster for the player ufordinary ability. He urges players to stopattempting to ape prowess they simply don tpossess, and to cultivate instead the specialpowers they do have but often fail to useintelligence, psychological insight, and, ofcourse, the ability to execute the occasionalsneaky move. This book is devoted exclusively to doubles,because it is the only form of the game theauthor considers to be within the capabilitiesof ordinary players, particularly those overthirty-five. Dr. Ramo analyzes every aspect ofthe game and shows how, from the beginningwarm-up to the final volleys, une must alwaysbe on the watch for weaknesses in an oppo-nent s position or playing, and be able to ex-ploit these weaknesses to win points withoutgreat power plays or miraculous saves. |
