Product Description

He's been called the best in the world at the mental game of tennis. Brad Gilbert's strokes may not be pretty, but looks aren't everything. He has beaten the Tour's biggest names - all by playing his ugly game. Now in Winning Ugly Gilbert teaches recreational players how to win more often without necessarily even changing their strokes. The key to success, he says, is to become a better thinking player - to recognize, analyze and capitalize. That means outthinking your opponents before, during and much after a match; forcing him or her to play your game. Winning Ugly is an invaluable combat manual for the court, and its tips include some real gems. Ultimately, Winning Ugly will help you beat players who have been beating you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does what it says on the tin., 28 Feb 2009

By	Mr. Al Price "andrewlewisprice" (Sydney) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Enjoyable, easy to read and definitely has helped me improve my game.

There's nothing earth shattering here but it all makes good sense. The anecdotes about some of the world's best players are fascinating and drive home some of the tips he's giving.

Only criticism is I read it too quickly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have book if you play competitive tennis, 12 Jan 2009

By	nergelag (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews

The best tennis book I have ever read. You won't get much advice from Gilbert on how to play strokes but you will find superb advice on how to win, how to prepare, how to play the important points and how to close out matches. If you play competitive tennis, buy this book.
