Racquet Issue No. 27

The latest issue of Racquet is themed ‘Optimism’ and presents the tennis court as a positive third space, providing an escape from ‘a world in chaos’. Inside, cancer survivor Shima Oliaee finds courage in Jelena Ostapenko’s expressive courtside manner; Caira Conner profiles Joe Lynskey, as he returns to tennis following a traumatic subway incident; Racquet founder Caitlin Thompson takes a tennis tour of Cuba; American artist Honor Titus talks with the curator Antwaun Sargent about painting players; plus, the team taps into the tennis fever gripping the globe through their first collaboration with New York collective MSCHF.

Racquet is a quarterly magazine that celebrates the art, ideas, style and culture that surround tennis.
