WHY PARK TENNIS CHOSE IT

THE BRAND STORY

A 6-0 scoreline became a New York tennis world.

WHO IT’S FOR

Players who like useful small gear, New York wordplay, and tennis culture that does not take itself too seriously.

Bageled NYC takes its name from the tennis slang for losing a set 6-0 and treats the humiliation as an invitation rather than a verdict. The Brooklyn project brings the joke off the scorecard through events held across New York, from public parks to historic private clubs.

The world now includes useful gear, Bagel Bud, tennis radio, collaborations, and an annual tracker for every bagel served and received on the professional tours. The formats change, but the premise stays sharp: tennis gets better when players can laugh at the game and at themselves.
