This is some fascinating tennis...

Has anyone else read The Language of Tennis ... I can't believe some of these things!!!

Pretty much every fact and stat is covered about the history of the game and why we use the terms we use BUT... I always thought "Love" was to do with the French for 'egg' cos they look alike. This guy has some totally different explanations. Anyone got any ideas -- I was SURE I was right... Anyway, it's great for stats and for trivia!!!

Has anyone else got this book??? It was recommended in an ITF newsletter I received... I'd be interested to hear what any of you guys reckon.

I got mine from www.amazon.co.uk which was the link in the ITF's newsletter. It is by a guy called Ossian Shine who is the Reuters Tennis Correspondent... WHOO HOOOOOO...

Look forward to hearing what you guys think....
