An unforgettable, illuminating story of how men live and how they survive, from Abraham Verghese, the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of Cutting for Stone and The Covenant of Water, an Oprah's Book Club Pick. “Heartbreaking. . . . Indelible and haunting, [The Tennis Partner] is an elegy to friendship found, and an ode to a good friend lost.”—The Boston Globe When Abraham Verghese, a physician whose marriage is unraveling, relocates to El Paso, Texas, he hopes to make a fresh start as a staff member at the county hospital. There he meets David Smith, a medical student recovering from drug addiction, and the two men begin a tennis ritual that allows them to shed their inhibitions and find security in the sport they love and with each other. This friendship between doctor and intern grows increasingly rich and complex, more intimate than two men usually allow. Just when it seems nothing can go wrong, the dark beast from David’s past emerges once again—and almost everything Verghese has come to trust and believe in is threatened as David spirals out of control.
"An award-winning author shares the inspiring and entertaining account of his pursuit to become a nationally competitive tennis player--at the age of sixty. Being a man or a woman in your early sixties is different than it was a generation or two ago, at least for the more fortunate of us. We aren't old.
It's Tennis, But In A Totally Different Format, and with No Gender Separation. This Thrill-Ride Takes Us Through the Many Brilliant New Evolving Focus-Drawing Fixtures Each Year Under the Special System, Showing You the Excitement We Would Have. The same old routine, in the tennis world, is an ok thing, an ordinary way. But it's not the only way things could have been structured. This book will take you into an alternative world of tennis, a world where single loss elimination tournaments are no longer the norm, and where the fans' interest is channelled in a different way. Learn how these tricks could bring about something bigger and better. In the real world of the ATP and the WTA, as soon as the round one draw for any tournament comes out, everybody who has drawn one of the top seeds in any round immediately speaks in fake words of loving the chance to play this person, but his coach already books his returning home flight in that same minute, as they know what to expect, and when these flights are sold at good prices. Nobody ever gets to see the 5th to 8th seeds play against each other, or the 9th to 16th go up against each other. These and all below them are only there to make up the numbers. And every player leaves each tournament having lost their final game, apart from the one who wins the final, so 31 of the final 32 are always exposed as not on a winning streak, thoroughly diminished and not left looking extra god-like at all. Zing-hoosh-kazoom! Now we have moved through a vortex. It is the year 2028, and the world is a different place. The powers that be have decided to go ahead and try to see if combining ten big bold daring new ideas, some of which are taking inspiration from the best-functioning concepts great days of the wrestling federations, others are all-new, adapter, improver or clip-on ideas, all of whom assemble to take us into a dazzling new world of tennis. See how such a world can bring us all to new heights, and can attract record levels of popularity to the game.For a start, we have ditched the separation between the men and the women, and we knew that choosing the most simplistic route, a merger with the old 15-30-40-game system unchanged would have meant that all the women would fall out of contention, so this is not the route we chose. Instead, whenever a male player plays against a female player, each point won by the female player receives "the pink multiplier", which is initially set at 1.27, and the old 15-30-40-game system is completely ditched in favour of a clever new way of formatting the game. Also, all male players lose their second serve, so each serve that bounces out is a lost point. Other beneficial multipliers will be tested and applied for the very best-looking tennis players, who the fans wish to see more of, and they wish to see them looking as good as can be, all over the camera. This new idea is also launched in the hope of luring some of the world's top models into the sport in a headline-grabbing move. And a special multiplier will be trialled for a few of our early (six to nine) months just for luring big stars of the recent past out of retirement. Also, a very special 5v5 teams event will contain yet another unique multiplier feature, a rolling reduction element, which we invite you to look forward to, as this truly makes the big teams game into a very exciting new highlight of the annual calendar. And for those who cannot yet guess why this is needed, all will be revealed soon.We now live in anticipation of what is to come four fifths of the time, and in total euphoria every fifth week. This way, we are always always looking forward to the future in a positive way. And for those who come to see the game live: a very special treat awaits you every time, as secret Sundays are when the really good stuff happens. The TV taping shows consist of nothing that doesn't contribute to our main aim of making the top 40 all look totally invincible. Packed full of ideas & fun

Most times, tennis players and athletes in general finish the competition unhappy about their performances. They feel that the potential was there, but a hidden force prevented them from achieving a feel-good performance. Performances, however, are never usually black and white. Most times athletes feel as though they were going through flows, flash-in/flash-out phases. Falls during performance are conventionally defined slumps and are among the most hated between athletes, above all when they feel that the main reason for slumps is not due to technical, tactical, or athletic flash-outs but rather to the mental components of the sport activity. In The Tennis Brain, you will find the following: Journey inside the processes and functions of the human brain Find a neuroscientific-based evidence for theories on the mind and conscious processes Discover why the game of tennis is so prone to mind influences Understand how the mind processes influence tennis game-specific situations Learn how to synchronize brain, body, and mind for best tennis in match performance. Book Endorsements: This work by Federico Di Carlo is a cornerstone among the contemporary research on cognitive neuroscience. The reader is introduced to the exploration and a step by step understanding of the brain and mind mechanisms. Through a fascinating journey in the world of tennis, the author motivates the reader to discover and change wrong behaviours in a positive way. This is a complete manual, useful to both tennis professionals and fans, as well as to anyone aspiring to achieve better results in the game of life (Renzo Ardiccioni, associate professor of communication, Universit du Maine, France). Drawing upon a great number of studies as well as on the authors personal experience, Tennis Brain brings together neurosciences and tennis practice, challenging the readers to critically reconsider some of their habits and beliefs. Di Carlo summarises the extensive research produced in the last three decades and makes it accessible to a wider audience, bringing our understanding of key mental aspects of tennis out of the realm of empirical opinions and into the realm of science and knowledge. Tennis Brain can actually guide the readers to develop their own critical thinking and to learn to improve(Alessandro Bruinen Serio, PhD, founder of RISED [Research for Integrative and Sustainable Development]). Since the first time we met, I was really impressed with Di Carlo well founded opinion, genuine love and immense enthusiasm for a neuroscientific driven tennis which comes out from every single page of The Tennis Brain. Starting from a presentation of the structural and physiological mechanisms of the nervous system and the psychological assets of the mind, Federico Di Carlo uses the tennis court to change the tennis player mind to a positive thinking and correct competitive mentality. For scientific consistency, I compared my thinking on the book with other readers and I received a similar feedback. The Tennis Brain actually might represent a benchmark in the developing field of cognitive neuroscience applied to sport coaching (Prof. Salvatore Guccione, Department of Drug Sciences, University of Catania).
