I have been playing tennis all my life but never considered the nuances of the sport and the total effect it had on my life. I read this book before a match and it helped me to focus on what is important about my playing, besides the winning and competing, how it is the shared experience of both of us or the four of us trying to be considerate and polite, yet still trying to win. I am a more relaxed player and person now that I know the unwritten rules of the game.

I began this book thinking that I would learn all about how I could beat my mom at Tennis, but by the end of the book I learned much more. I learned that technique and practice is important but also having an optimistic outlook and good etitique is too. I learned how to be a classier person and how when I lose or win what to say to the other person and also to myself. Additionally, it was the positivity in my game that helped me beat my mom for the very first time ever! This book really changed my life, I think more constructively and encouraging than I ever have and recommend it for people who want to change not only their thoughts on the Tennis Court but also for people who want to change the way they think about everything!

As a newcomer to tennis, I have been feeling a bit embarrassed on the court. After reading Nancy Koran's book, I feel so much more confident in my interactions with my coach and my tennis partners. Questions I have been either too shy or too ignorant to ask regarding tennis etiquette are answered in a way that's easy to understand and even fun to read. Also, I love the pictures of tennis greats and am inspired by their advice!

I just finished this book, and I have to say, I'm rather impressed with the wealth of information presented. Yes, the one reviewer who said that included in the book are some basic things like "bring extra balls", but you know, anyone who plays tennis knows that there are plenty of people who really need this simple "common sense" fact pointed out to them.
However, there's a LOT more than "simple common sense" in this book - the author clearly knows her stuff, and she's also brought together essentially a who's who of tennis stars to share their wisdom. Stuff like how to avoid feeling rushed and how to tactfully slow down an opponent is priceless. As someone who plays a bit slow, I got my money's worth on that one tip.
Lastly, the book is a fun read. You can open it to any page and get something out of it. Rather useful in a book like this.

Zen is a state of mind and playing tennis, if well played, brings us to another state of mind. A winning way of life is really a good title for this book. I was surprised to see how much the etiquette spoke in this book can apply to any area of our lives. Presented in humurous, entertaining and original way, this book expose all the different aspects around and on the tennis court.
I also enjoyed the collective of the short presentations from the tennis greats.
Great gift for all beginners and those who have been playing for a long time but never got any answers about very basic questions on the etiquette of tennis.
