Dirty Tennis

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.
