If you're reading this, chances are you're anywhere but courtside at Wimbledon. (If you are at the All England Club, turn off your Blackberry and enjoy the match!)

 Add "Devil May Care" as a must-read
Does James Bond play with a one- or two-handed backhand? How does he spend his change-overs? What's his favorite post-match quencher?
All the answers are in the latest 007 book, Devil May Care, the first book in the series that places the spy on a tennis court.

| "Quiet, please" is relative |
|
Going to the NCAAs for your first college tennis experience is a little like heading to Wimbledon to witness your first pro tennis match. The position of spectator carries with it a specific set of unspoken rules unique to that event. If a newbie attends without any forewarning, it may take a day or so to understand the culture. And "Quiet, please" elicits different responses.
