Gladwell isn't a psychologist or a tennis pro. "I would lie in bed thinking, 'How did I do this? I don't know.' It drove me crazy."Īpparently, it drives Malcolm Gladwell crazy too because he has written a whole book about it titled Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking (Little, Brown 277 pages). One year he watched the tournament at Indian Wells and called 16 out of 17 double faults before they happened. He doesn't know how it just comes to him in a flash.

Braden, a well-known tennis coach, can tell when a player is about to double-fault before the tennis racket even meets the ball. Braden has a special talent, and it's driving him nuts.
