Conor Niland is a former tennis professional whose new book, The Racket, documents in raw detail his experience as a player ranked 129 in the world. With Wimbledon back on our screens, it's that time of year again where everyone loves tennis - but this book provides rare insight into the realities of the sport far from centre court. Niland is brutally honest, funny and real throughout, never afraid to poke fun at himself or reflect honestly on his mistakes. Those familiar with my page know I'm no sporty spice, but I thoroughly enjoyed our chat and hope you enjoy listening! Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
