Get ready to get dirty! Spring is here, and so is Racquet No. 22, in which they celebrate clay court tennis. Inside, Racquet takes a deep dive; or should we say dig; into their favorite playing surface. They visit clay manufacturers in Charlottesville, VA and Buenos Aires and view the majestic Monte Carlo Country club from the sky. Keeping with the terra battue, Racquet finally answers the question: Just who exactly was Roland Garros? In this issue they also profile American star Michael Mmoh and the “Little Maestro” of the Philippines Felicisimo Ampon, and cover the Austin Open. Finally, Racquet offers two fantastic excerpts from new books by Robert Lopez and Janet Malcolm. The cover features the painting “Down the Line” by the British artist Charlotte Keates, whose work is also presented inside.
Racquet is a magazine that celebrates the art, ideas, style and culture that surround tennis. They fondly remember the swashbuckling sport of the tennis boom of the 1970s and ’80s, and work to restore some of that swagger too today’s game. Racquet works with some of the best writers – those experienced in the tennis conversation, and those who’ve never covered the sport – as well as celebrated artists and photographers to explore the modern tennis landscape, bringing you something beautiful and meaningful four times a year.
