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 opponent
and 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 to
winning a match, but Dr. Ramo shows that this
approach leads only to disaster for the player uf
ordinary ability. He urges players to stop
attempting to ape prowess they simply don t
possess, and to cultivate instead the special
powers they do have but often fail to use
intelligence, psychological insight, and, of
course, the ability to execute the occasional
sneaky move.
This book is devoted exclusively to doubles,
because it is the only form of the game the
author considers to be within the capabilities
of ordinary players, particularly those over
thirty-five. Dr. Ramo analyzes every aspect of
the game and shows how, from the beginning
warm-up to the final volleys, une must always
be on the watch for weaknesses in an oppo-
nent s position or playing, and be able to ex-
ploit these weaknesses to win points without
great power plays or miraculous saves.
