Product Description

A fresh approach to a beloved sport, The Tennis Court is a photographic journey of the 200 most breathtaking tennis courts around the world. “Nick Pachelli takes us on court in every corner of the world with a sharp eye for what makes our game and the people who champion it so special.” —Billie Jean King, sports icon and equality advocate. Every one of the world’s half a million tennis courts is, at its most basic, an identical blank canvas: a 78-foot by 36-foot rectangle divided by a 3-foot-high net and marked with eleven straight lines. But add surface, space, wind, acoustics, crowds, shadows, humidity, and air density, and every court becomes a unique work of art. Nick Pachelli curates and profiles 200 of the world’s most beautiful, iconic, significant, alluring, and idiosyncratic courts, each breathtakingly photographed. He explores the heavyweights, including Wimbledon’s All England Lawn Tennis Club, which employs a hawk to keep stray birds away; Arthur Ashe, the Grandstand, and Court 17 in Flushing, Queens; and Court Philippe-Chatrier at Roland-Garros, whose clay shifts in color with every glance. We visit far-flung treasures like Waiheke Tennis Club in New Zealand, which requires a plane, ferry, car or bus, and a walk to reach. Indoor marvels such as the Tennis Club de Belgique, where skylights illuminate the court while spectators sit in shadow. Hidden jewels like the tiny Tennis Club San Stin in Venice, a secret outdoor clay court tucked behind a villa and a vine-covered 15-foot wall. There are urban courts such as the Knickerbocker Field Club in Brooklyn; academies like Rafael Nadal’s in Mallorca; and extreme locations: a lone court in the Scottish wilds, a tidal court in northern Spain where metal plates reappear as lines when the sand hardens, and a Kenyan court made from termite mounds. Throughout, Pachelli delivers a once-in-a-lifetime tour of the world’s greatest courts while capturing the passion and introspection the sport inspires—because on the court, whether grand or ordinary, near or far, is where tennis players truly meet themselves.
