A magazine about tennis that places the sport at the heart of culture, fashion and experiences, whether you’re a tennis head or not.
The latest issue of the recently reshuffled Racquet is their first-ever travel issue: submarine officer Taylor Sheppard describes the naval tennis scene on the island of Diego Garcia, ex-player Feliciano Lopez takes a trip to Portofino, Aben Anim-Somuah joins a Jewish mens-only club in Mexico City, Melissa Locker reports from the Fiji Open, while Emanuele D'Angelo finds a newfound appreciation for the courts of his hometown, Rome.
Plus, a feature on cover star Taylor Fritz, a guide to Dallas, and a preview of Rizzoli's upcoming tennis photo book (spot those sunken, residents-only Barbican courts).
