Venus and Serena's book, "How To Play Tennis" is out in the UK and will be out in the US in late August. Will you buy it? I sure know I will

 

[DeDe1961]

How to player tennis? I'd rather learn from other players. Couldn't care less about them two either. So NO WAY, wouldn't have it even if it was free.

 

[CJ07]

umm, they are other players

And really, how many titles do you have? Wait 0

I'd like to read about more physically attractive players than those two

 

[tennisIlove09]

I support everything Venus does, so yes I'll buy it. If for nothing else, the pictures

Someone needs their heads examined. :lol:

 

[tenn_ace]

no. but I would buy one from Roger, any of Martinas or Justine.

Always trying to hate, eh? :lol:
Someone needs to find a hobby! :wavey:

I'm gonna buy it as well.

 

[CooCooCachoo]

I won't be buying it, because I don't play tennis myself that much, because I don't see the purpose of such a book and I would only buy it if one of my huge favourites wrote it and because I seriously don't think that Serena and Venus' games are good exemples of how to play tennis well, technique-wise. When it comes to power, they are great role models no doubt, but not when it comes to great technique.

I saw this in Waterstones yesterday, and decided to have a bit of a look - I felt I could do with a bit of a laugh.

One of the first chapters is "what to wear" - coming from either of the Williams sisters, would advise people to skip that chapter.

Did contain a lovely photo of Serena stretching with her raquet.

But most of the pictures aren't them, but this young girl.

 

[VeNuS#1LoVa]

I'm Venus's #1 Fan, and I won't buy it! :kiss:

I'm already a future pro as it is... :angel:

The thing is that the book is meant for youngsters who are just taking up the sport and only covers the strokes at a basic level, so the question of whether such a book by Hingis or Federer would be more worthy doesn't arise. The book only tries to give its target readers tips on the right clothes to wear, how to stretch before playing, to drink enough liquids, and how to hit basic tennis strokes. It does not attempt to teach anyone how to hit half volleys on the run from the baseline, so it's irrelevant whether the sisters have good techniques or not.

I already play tennis, quite well actually (look at my sig), so why not. I Love Vee! :hearts:

 

[Shenanigans]

No I am waiting for Anna K's book 'How not to play tennis'

what level do you play?

 

[justin_w]

I would rather go out into the desert and watch the lizards run around than to buy a book about smash mouth tennis. Now if Justine or Hingis were to write a book that would be a different story. :angel:

When it comes to winning, they're the best of the best of the best.

Thanks for the outline.

If they released an autobiography of some sort, I'd buy it... but not this

I don't know. It sounds suspicous like the sisters names are used to sell the book and they didn't really have anything do with the book. I smell a lawsuit. LOL
