Palm Beach, Florida (PRWEB) September 21, 2006 -- Sport Psychologist Dr. John F. Murray's book Smart Tennis: How to Play and Win the Mental Game (Jossey-Bass/John Wiley & Sons, 1999), endorsed by Wimbledon Champion Lindsay Davenport, has been declared the world's best-selling tennis book over the past twelve years on the bookstore of the first online tennis publication, The Tennis Server. www.johnfmurray.com
Dr. Cliff Kurtzman, founding Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of the Tennis Server, and its newsletter Tennis Server Interactive, writes the following in his September, 2006 newsletter:
"Tennis player Andy Murray wrote in his blog during Wimbledon that he ran into a book author who gave him a copy of a book on the mental side of the game. Murray (who clearly has needed some help in that area) quipped that he threw the book in the dumpster. But Andy was just teasing. In fact, the author whom he met was former Tennis Server writer Dr. John Murray (same last name but no relation), and the book he was given was Smart Tennis, which has been the overall top selling tennis book from the Tennis Server bookstore over the past 12 years. Andy's mom Judy Murray later wrote to Dr. John telling him that Andy had kept the book as was in fact taking it seriously. Kudo's to Andy M. for taking some time to make the effort to improve the mental side of his game. Between Smart Tennis and some help from new coach Brad Gilbert, Andy Murray's tennis game has seen great improvement over the past few months in terms of high-level consistency."
