Racquet / 28

Blueprints and canvas are themes I kept coming back to as we were compiling this issue—which builds on the infrastructure of the 78’ x 36’ frame of a tennis court and radiates outwards. From glorious tennis structures surrounding the field of play to gallery walls, where celebrated artists tangle with tennis in their various mediums: this 28th edition of Racquet is dedicated to it all.

Racquet is a new quarterly magazine that celebrates the art, ideas, style and culture that surround tennis. We fondly remember the swashbuckling sport of the tennis boom of the 1970s and ’80s, and our goal is to help restore some of that swagger to today’s game. We’ll work with some of the best writers – those experienced in the tennis conversation, and those who’ve never covered the sport – as well as artists and photographers to explore the modern tennis landscape, bringing you something beautiful and meaningful four times a year.
