They like it...
Thoughts from tennis’ thought leaders.
As we read this book, we found ourselves nodding our heads in
agreement. You will enjoy the read and find it loaded with concepts
that will help you improve your game. We even learned a few new
things. Thanks to Rick for writing this great new book on doubles.

Congrats to Rick Altman -- he has nailed it in Killer Doubles! It is so
refreshing to read a book that speaks to the art of this beautiful game.
Rick presents us with a well-organized and simple dialogue about the
thought processes of playing doubles (not just the technique of
individual strokes). Almost any of us from low intermediate to advanced
league player can instantly benefit and improve by reviewing this work.
Rick addresses dozens of situations which we all face. He teaches us
to think strategically during the serve, return, or in the rally itself. This
book is written by “one of us,” and I am convinced it will immediately
result in an increase in your level of play, success, and enjoyment.

No comment has come my way more often in nearly three decades as
a tennis commentator than, “Why didn't you show more doubles?” I
have spent many favors securing tickets for friends who want to watch
the best play the game they play at their club. Rick Altman’s book is an
homage, long overdue, to all my friends and their love of doubles.
Congratulations on the fruit of a terrific seed -- what a great idea!
