This book teaches club and tournament players how to improve their tennis game in an afternoon. The key is a system of play that answers the 4 big questions about doubles tennis: 1) What should I have done?, 2) Where should I have been?, 3) How could I have gotten that?, and 4) Whose was that? Tennis players who immerse themselves in Helle's talent and experience, while making her techniques and tips their own, will find themselves scoring wins over more powerful, higher-ranked opponents time after time.
