Book Reviews of The Art of Doubles: Winning Tennis Strategies and Drills

Book Review: We're winning matches using Pat's strategies!
Summary: 5 Stars

When we began playing tennis 4 years ago, we purchased the first edition of The Art of Doubles. Pat showed us strategies that no one else was teaching and we referred to her book many times since 2005. Now that we are reading Pat's second edition, with her new strategies that are evolving like the game of tennis is, we are winning matches. Even when we are playing with other partners who aren't using our new strategies, we are scoring more points than we used to. I will read this book cover to cover many times over like I did the first edition. I highly recommend this book to anyone who plays tennis or who is considering playing someday.
