Product Description

Review

The Racket is as elegant and powerful as a Federer backhand – a rich, mordant, affecting portrait of the occasional triumphs and frequent indignities of the low-ranked professional tennis player. I really loved it. It’s Kitchen Confidential for tennis. — Ed Caesar

About the Author

Conor Niland grew up in Limerick, and was Ireland’s top-ranked tennis player for much of his youth and all of his adult career. As a youth player he beat Roger Federer – and he still has his coach’s notes on the match. His career peaked in 2011, when he reached the main draw of both Wimbledon and the US Open. He lives in Dublin with his wife and two children.
