I only read the first chapter because I am not a tennis player.

When you are a novice, "success" is achieved via negativa (a Taleb term) i.e. by not messing up.

When you are seasoned, "success" is achieved via positiva i.e. by doing the right things.

This is one of the best metaphors for life out there, and it's good for tennis too ;)

Great advices. I felt I've immediately lifted my game in social doubles after reading this.

Suprisingly funny

Very droll book about how to win ugly. Higher results through lower expectations.
