## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Honest, well written
*by B***I on 8 July 2025*

I am not a tennis fan at all but I wanted to learn more about life of second-tier professional sports people. I did not regret.The book is an honest, unpolished story of a professional player who played tennis as his full-time job for seven years. The author is probably the most accomplished Irish player of all times, so he knows what he wrote about. The money, re-adjustment of dreams and goals, pain of seeing success of others in your generation, grind of playing non-stop many weeks and months in a raw, injuries - it is all here.The book is well written and even for a layperson who knows nothing about tennis is was an easy read.The description of the main match in the author’s life is a nail-biting thriller. I read it before going to bed and could not fall asleep for a couple of hours after that, such was the nerve of the game, and of course its brilliant description.Thank you, dear Conor. I enjoyed the book and I hope all is well after your retirement (or should I say quitting).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Informative perspective
*by F***B on 31 December 2024*

Nice contrast of perspective against the movie King Richard. I guess it isn't really as simple as having a plan, and many parents do anyway?

Even if you're not a die-hard tennis fan, you'll find yourself drawn into the drama and intensity of his experiences."The Racket" is more than just a story about tennis; it's a testament to resilience, self-belief, and the pursuit of excellence against all odds.
