Nouvelle arrivée
Winning Ugly
The Sports Plus take
How to beat players who are better than you.
Brad Gilbert was never the most talented player on tour, but he beat John McEnroe, Boris Becker and plenty of others by out-thinking them. Later he coached Andre Agassi to No. 1. This is his playbook: how to scout an opponent, steer points toward your strengths and stay calm when a match goes sideways. Club players swear by it, and the lessons work well beyond tennis.
