Most tennis media starts with the score. Racquet starts with everything the score leaves out: art, clothes, travel, architecture, obsession, and the strange people who make the sport worth following. That shift changed what tennis publishing could look and sound like. Racquet can feel more cocktail party than public park, and that distance is worth naming. But the magazine helped prove that tennis culture was large enough to deserve serious writing and beautiful print. Park Tennis exists in part because that door was opened. We chose Racquet because a useful guide should recognize the institutions that expanded the imagination of the sport, even when we want to push the conversation somewhere more accessible.
