Tennis thing

What is Tennis thing? That’s a fair question. Those of you who have read anything else I have ever written has never read anything about tennis. There’s good reason for this. Up until August of 2023 I had never played tennis. But, shortly after I started learning tennis I had an idea and Tennis thing was born. It’s part diary, part confessional, part study, part history and part analysis. Most writers seek to create works with at least an element of timelessness. But, the stated purpose of Tennis thing is to bring out everything I learn, come to believe or think about tennis; all of the experiences and emerging mindsets bracketed by a one year period. That’s going to bring a purposeful bit of discursiveness to Tennis Thing. Who is to say whether Charles Broom, whom I interview later in this book, will still be playing professional tennis by the time you read this? The same goes for my observations about the other pros I’ve watched play, the tennis coaches I’ve observed and worked with or even my own future in tennis. I want the now of my tennis experience to trump everything. Is that a good idea? I think so but the proof is in the reading and that’s where you come in.
