Tennis has a reputation for being a gentlemen’s sport, a sport where you wear whites, congratulate the other player, curse yourself, then shake hands at the end regardless of the outcome.

But as any competitive tennis player knows, this couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, if I had to compare tennis with any other sport, it would be with boxing.

In both sports you’re on your own out there, one on one. You each have your chair to compose yourself, think, rest and hydrate. Attached to your hands are either gloves or a racquet and ball. You then throw everything you’ve got at your opponent, using power, speed, agility, reactions and guile. You pick up points as you go along, until someone delivers the knockout blow.

That’s why stepping out onto the tennis court without the very best preparation is as foolish an act as stepping into a boxing ring unprepared. You would be guaranteed a physical, psychological and skilful beating – only in tennis you might still have your front teeth!

So if you want to deliver that knockout blow to your opponents in 2008 – even if it is with a tennis ball rather than a leather glove! – make sure you order a copy of our very latest special report, Training for Tennis, right away. You’ll find it invaluable.
