From Word of Sport:

Astute reissue of a cult Tennis book. With Gilbert now working his magic with Murray, the decision to update and reissue his 1994 original looks like a smart move.

The basic thrust of Gilbert's work is that mental toughness can help lesser players overcome better opponents. He shows how you can win by playing "ugly tennis" and by out-thinking opponents. Let's hope that Murray's inate talent will avoid him having to rely on merely grinding out results through mental warfare.

From the Publisher:

He's been called the best in the world at the mental game of tennis. Brad Gilbert's strokes may not be pretty, but looks aren't everything. He has beaten the Tour's biggest names - all by playing his ugly game.

In 'Winning Ugly', he teaches recreational players how to win more often without necessarily even changing their strokes. The key to success, he says, is to become a better thinking player - to recognize, analyze and capitalize. That means outthinking your opponents before, during and after a match; forcing him or her to play your game. Winning Ugly is an invaluable combat manual for the court, and its tips include some real gems. Ultimately, Winning Ugly will help you beat players who have been beating you.

This new paperback edition will include an introduction by British No 1 Andy Murray, Brad's latest protege.
