Racquet, Issue 12

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.

In this issue:
In the latest Racquet  you’ll find cultural attaché Andrea Petkovic profiles the ever-stylish Barbora Strycova, Ben Rothenberg gives us part two of the cautionary tale of the ‘next Anna Kournikova, as well as a wild and wooly look at the the “Soviets” of World Team Tennis. Caira Conner re-learns to play after an illness,and Joel Drucker goes all the way back to the swinging ’60s when advertising warmed to tennis. Art by Louise Bonnet, and a classic cover by Jonas Wood.
