Racquet

“Racquet mag has that feeling of a Labor Of Love. In that way It reminds me of self printed xeroxed music fanzines from the 90s. But the layout, graphics, photography betray a sense of style, and a knowledge of magazines from the art/fashion realm. If tennis is your ‘kink’ you will relate to this mag.”“I love Racquet’s in-depth variety of stories across all elements of our sport.”“Absolutely thrilling.”
