Hardback. Condition: Very Good. An award-winning author attempts to become a nationally competitive tennis player--at the age of sixty--in this soulful meditation on aging, companionship, and the power of self-improvement (The Wall Street Journal). Being a man or a woman in your early sixties is different than it was a generation or two ago, at least for the more fortunate of us. We aren't old.yet. But we sense it coming: Careers are winding down, kids are gone, parents are dying (friends, too), and our bodies are no longer youthful or even middle-aged. Learning to play tennis in your fifties is no small feat, but becoming a serious, competitive tennis player at the age of sixty is a whole other matter. It requires training the body to defy age, and to methodically build one's game--the strokework, footwork, strategy, and mental toughness. Gerry Mazorati had the strong desire to lead an examined physical life, to push his body into the encore of middle age. In Late to the Ball Mazorati writes vividly about his difficulties, frustrations, and triumphs of becoming a seriously good tennis player. He takes on his quest with complete vigor and absolute determination to see it through, providing a rich, vicarious experience, involving the science of aging, his existential battle with time, and the beautiful, mysterious game of tennis. Enjoyable.crisp and clean (Publishers Weekly), Late to the Ball is also captivating evidence that the rest of the Baby Boomer generation, now between middle age and old age, can find their own quest and do the same.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. After giving of yourself as a wife, mother, daughter and friend, there comes a time when it is necessary for us as women to do our own thing, and tennis has become that thing. Sometimes that thing can be tumultuous and self-defining; it makes us crazy, we know it, but we wouldn't have it any other way. This socially acceptable addiction of tennis keeps us coming back for more, match after match, day after day, cat fight after cat fight, all because of the passion we have for the game. That passion, combined with some very interesting types of tennis players, along with the typical on court drama, all adds up to quite a cocktail. And speaking of cocktails-let's face it, after a match they're well deserved, heavily anticipated and for some of us, the real reason we play. The bottom line is that the league is really a home-a home where you can look like a B.A.R.B.I.E, act like an Alexis, or whine like a Blah, Blah, Blah. You're identified, exposed and, after all of that, still accepted just as you are. So, tennis ladies, enjoy every moment, relish every point, cherish every friendship, and don't you dare let your sorry ass go down without swinging.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. From stately lawns and gentlemen players to Andre Agassi and Venus Williams: 65 great writings on tennis that chronicle the transformation of the sport. Since its inception, tennis has embraced traditions more patrician than plebeian. But times--and tennis--have changed. The game once reserved for royalty has moved from estate lawns to the concrete courts of the city. Old guard amateurs have given way to prodigies plastered with corporate logos. And while barriers of gender, race, and class have been shattered, the modern plagues of self-promotion, the paparazzi, and challengers of ever-escalating talent loom large. In The Right Set, award-winning novelist and editor Caryl Phillips presents a collection of writings on the remarkable evolution of a gentleman's pastime into a sport of jet-set players of athletic and psychological genius. Here are the stories of champions, from the Renshaw twins to "ghetto Cinderella" Venus Williams. Here, too, are volleys between tradition and innovation--debates on everything from etiquette and earnings to André Agassi's rejection of the customary tennis whites. Insightful, informative, wonderfully entertaining, The Right Set is as colorful and surprising as the game itself. John McPhee on Ashe vs. Graebner David Higdon on Venus Williams James Thurber on Helen Wills Martina Navratilova on Bad Losers Martin Amis on Smashing the Rackets and more. …
