From editor Stuart Brumfitt (formally of Fantastic Man, i-D and The Face no less) comes 'Issue 0' of Bagel, the latest tennis title to grace the magCulture shelves, focussing on the sport's 'increasing diversity, influence on fashion and participation in popular culture.' The name, as you keen fans out there will know, refers to a set ending in a 6-0 scoreline.
Inside this shiny silver first issue, you'll find a mix of shorter bits covering tour stats, Twitter tribes and stadium snacks, alongside interviews and photoshoots with professional coaches, hopeful juniors in Hackney parks, and the cover star for this issue, current world #10 Frances Tiafoe. Plus! Flip to page 68 for a particularly action packed feature on capturing the most iconic shots on court.
