Sachez quoi dire, ce qu'il ne faut pas dire, quoi faire sur un terrain si vous faites l'erreur d'être vu sur un, et quelles excuses faire si vous ne pouvez pas poser une tête de raquette sur une balle. Ne confondez plus jamais topspin avec une tranche, ou un coup de courge avec un tweener. Profitez de l'admiration de vos collègues joueurs de tennis en vous prononçant en toute confiance sur les mérites de l'essuie-glace, du coup droit inversé et du run-around Surtout, sachez exactement comment vous tenir contre le genre de nerd de tennis qui a probablement émergé de l'utérus en lisant une copie de Inner Tennis. Et ne portez jamais de bandeau.
Dites : « J'essayais une version extrême de l'extrême hawaïen et quelque chose s'est juste passé « ping » dans mon poignet. Jamais été le même depuis. » Ne dites pas : « You can't be serious... you guys are the absolute pits of the world ! »

DAVE WHITEHEAD began playing tennis as a child. It seemed to him to be more civilised and less brutish than sports like rugby and bare-knuckle fighting, and it was also readily available in sunny San Diego, California, where he then lived. So young Dave got better at tennis than at other pursuits, such as school, and when a mediocre US university needed to make up the numbers of its tennis team, he gladly accepted an offer of a scholarship. Eventually, he took and somehow passed the United States Professional Tennis Association certification test in 1980. After playing and preaching tennis etiquette for many years, it occurred to him that he might share his knowledge about the game with the sort of misguided and undeserving people who hadn’t yet sought his services as a coach. So in a burst of unaccustomed idealism and overt greed, he wrote The Tennis Junkies’ Guide (To Serious Humor) – an ‘unheralded classic’, in the words of Mrs Whitehead. More than three decades after becoming a pro, Dave is still working on his backhand.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Know what to say, what not to say, what to do on a court should you make the mistake of being seen on one, and what excuses to make if you can't lay a racquet head on a ball. Never again confuse topspin with a slice, or a squash shot with a tweener. Bask in the admiration of your fellow tennis players as you pronounce confidently on the merits of the windshield wiper, the reverse forehand and the run-around. Above all, know exactly how to hold your own against the sort of tennis nerd who probably emerged from the womb reading a copy of Inner Tennis. And never wear a headband. DO SAY "I was trying out an extreme version of the extreme Hawaiian and something just went 'ping' in my wrist. Never been the same since." DON'T SAY "You CANNOT be serious.you guys are the absolute pits of the world!" Originally published: London: Bluffer's, 2014.
