I WOULD LIKE to thank these former top players for personally showing me the best of their game: Pancho Gonzalez, the serve; Pancho Segura, the two-handed forehand; Roy Emerson, the volleys; and Manuel Santana, the topspin forehand.
I would also like to thank Nina Bers, 1987 U.S. Junior Intercollegiate tennis champion, for her patient modeling for the photographs; Steven Ferry, for helping me write and photograph this book; and most of all, L. Ron Hubbard, who inspired my life with his works and insights into teaching and the nature of the human spirit.
