The Underhanded Serve or How to Play Dirty Tennis

In no other sport does psychology play such a vital role as in tennis. Your opponent is trying to make you blow up, and if you are any kind of competitor, you are trying to make him blow up. Meanwhile, your doubles partner — if you are playing doubles — is making you blow up without even trying to. In this book — a valuable text for players who find that classic strokes alone are not enough to ensure victory — Rex Lardner supplies enough strategic tactics and psychological moves to undermine, perplex, and otherwise destroy an opponent.
