Racquet, Issue 25

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:

Don’t call it a comeback: Legendary Esquire EIC David Granger comes out of magazine retirement to guest edit this issue, and the main man on everyone’s minds? Andre Agassi. After 15 years away, he is everywhere in tennis, but what does he want from us? Foster Kamer, fellow Las Vegas native son, explores why the man who gave us Image Isn’t Everything, It’s the Only Thing, is back in business in a big way. The legendary sportswriter Johnette Howard reminds us that Monica Seles wasn’t just the winningest teen tennis sensation, she was also a bubbly and spirited personality before the event that would define her career, and life, took place.
