A clean book for the dirty mind. The third playful entry in the Dirty Sports series, Dirty Tennis explores the sport's most colorful language-from ""balls out"" aggression to ""deep penetration"" shots, and everything in between. It's a humorous look at tennis lingo that doubles as cheeky wordplay, appealing to players and pun-lovers alike.

Whether you're a seasoned player or just along for the laughs, you'll enjoy this lighthearted rally through terms like ""can opener,"" ""banana shot,"" and ""open throat."" It's all about the fun behind the phrases-no need to be a pro to get the jokes.

Packed with playful illustrations and definitions, Dirty Tennis is a charming little match point for anyone who enjoys the game... and a good double meaning.

Seduced by the ingenuity, scholarship and discipline of ""the win"", Beth Mignano has dedicated her career to support elite athletes achieve peak performance. Three decades of global adventures in professional sports, often as the only female, have cultivated an original point of view and a wry sense of humor. Beth is a rabid aficionado of subculture nuances and a genuine addict of irony and wordplay that has yielded a strong affinity and appreciation for the art of ... the double entendre. Elizabeth Titcomb has been creating art for medicine and science for over 25 years. With her knack for interpretative graphics, she brings clarity to complex scientific ideas and turns data into dynamic storytelling. While her professional work demands pinpoint precision, she also enjoys the freedom of casual sketching and painting-where creativity runs wild, and perfection takes a backseat.
