Strokes of Genius: Federer, Nadal, and the Greatest Match Ever Played

by: L. Jon Wertheim
I couldn't put this book down and read it in one day. Wertheim's prose is as beautiful as a Federer inside-out forehand. It's clear he had a Nadal-like determination to do exhaustive research before he even wrote a word. I loved all the behind-the-scene anecdotes about what went on in the locker room, the player's upbringing, personal quirks, and all the things that were going on while this incredible match was being played. I read Levels of the Game by John McPhee and liked it. I read this book and LOVED it! .

by: William Gurstelle
When we were kids we learned how to build a lot of this stuff by studying -- get this -- a police display of banned and home-made weapons at a mall!

Anything we didn't understand, we just asked the cop at the display.

The Inner Game of Tennis: The Classic Guide to the Mental Side of Peak Performance

by: W. Timothy Gallwey
I've read this book a number of years back when I was playing racquetball. Even though the book is titled for tennis but the techniques presented aren't really tennis specific but are general to sports performance. After applying the techniques in the book my game took a quantum leap. It really did wonders to my on-court performance. I'm generally a person that's very demanding of myself. But even so I was extremely pleased with the result.

Later on I transitioned into playing tennis.
