Summary: Essays, interviews, and much more
Comment: If you think you know a lot about tennis you'll learn more in this in-depth look at tennis from a long-time, award-winning tennis writer. Paul Fein assembled a collection of his best articles for Tennis Confidential, and the result is an entertaining and informative experience intertwined with fascinating facts. He cleverly broke it down into six parts: Portraits of the Stars, Memorable Interviews, Topical Trends and Burning issues, The Great Controversies, Twentieth-Century Retrospectives, and The Ten Greatest Matches in Tennis History. In one chapter, he examines two-handed backhands, tiebreakers, and the racket revolution. In another, we take an in-depth look at Venus Williams, Andre Agassi, and Anna Kournikova. It's a book that you can pick up again and again and enjoy it all over again. I highly recommend Tennis Confidential to anyone with an interest in tennis.

Summary: Not only a book about tennis - this book is tennis
Comment: When you think of tennis, you hardly think of a perfect backhand or a great shot. What you really have in mind are the milestones of this sport. If it is the "Battle of the Sexes", or the Borg, McEnroe and Becker Eras - there are times in history, in which tennis played its role, even off the
court.

These times, great matches and controversies may have been in the past - but the famous tennis author Paul Fein gave them a place in our bookshelves. Whether it is the remarkable story of a Grand Slam final, the inside story of great subjects or a personal interviews with outstanding players who gave the
game its character - Paul Fein has it in his book. It is a truly fine collection of his best articles, written in a special manner to give tennis history back its life and the importance it deserves. It also covers today's stars with really interesting stories about their tennis careers and private
lives.

I definitely recommend Tennis Confidential. If you're a serious tennis fan, you'll love it. And if you're a casual tennis fan, your interest in tennis will grow for sure.

Rating: 5
Summary: For the Love of Tennis
Comment: If tennis is your passion, or if you are just beginning this wonderful sport, you will certainly enjoy Paul Fein's TENNIS CONFIDENTIAL. It is filled with interesting tidbits about current tennis pros as well as champion players from the past. I especially liked the "Fascinating Facts" section at the conclusion of each chapter. Where else could you find out that "Parents who send their children to Pat Cash's new tennis academy in Australia are required to attend behavior classes." Paul Fein's detail-oriented style of writing produced a thoroughly entertaining book and reveals his love for the game of tennis.
