I am so excited to be able to reveal my book about professional tennis, ‘The Racket’, will be published on June 6th by Penguin Randomhouse in the UK & Ireland.
Ed Caesar of The New Yorker magazine called it “elegant and powerful…a rich, mordant and affecting portrait.”

In fairness to Djokovic, I only had one coach with me when we played at the US Open and it didn’t go great for me
"Also, we could bring one person to the club which is really impossible. I mean, you need your coach, then a fitness trainer, then a physiotherapist."

“The right face” is the perfect description for good body language. Acknowledging it as a mask that can lead to positivity
Rafael Nadal describes MENTAL TOUGHNESS:
👊It’s about bringing the right attitude no matter how bad you feel”
👊 “It’s about passion to practice.”
👊 “It’s about the work you put in everyday.”

Just finished this book. It's a really wonderful read. Amazing to see what tennis players and athletes go through. Never read an account quite like this. Really shows what the struggle is like in unvarnished terms.
