Book Synopsis

THE NO. 1 BESTSELLER

''Well worth a read if you want the inside track on life on the lower rungs of the tennis circuit. Warts and all.'' Judy Murray

''As elegant and powerful as a Federer backhand ... It's Kitchen Confidential for tennis.'' Ed Caesar

''A really wonderful read ... Conor Niland has delivered an all-timer for tennis and sports journalism'' Ashlee Vance

''Conor Niland may only have managed a career-high ranking of 129 only? that is some achievement in itself! but The Racket, his account of how he managed this, is up there with the best half-dozen books on tennis ever written.'' Geoff Dyer

Genuinely such a brilliant book, a brilliant read' Ciarán Murphy, Second Captains Podcast

One of the best Irish sports books of the last decade' Kieran Shannon, Irish Examiner
