The best writing on tennis from the best tennis writers in the business. Racquet was founded in 2016 to be the voice of a new tennis boom. When the popularity of tennis peaked in the late '70s and early '80s, the sport was populated by buccaneering talents with outsize personas, such as Borg, Evert, McEnroe, Navratilova, Gerulaitis, Austin, King, and Connors. The game was played in every park, and tennis clothes became appropriate attire for cocktails as well as for a match. With success, however, came polish, and tennis--if not the game itself, then how it came to be represented in the culture--got boring. Having a big personality was no longer a virtue. Tennis went back to being a bastion of the elite. Racquet is a place for those who knew all along that the spirit of the tennis boom was alive. Tennis has always been present in the arts, in the popular culture, in the skateboarding, hip-hop, and fashion worlds. That side of tennis was--and is--obscured by the tightly controlled messaging of the athletes, the corporate glean of the major tournaments, and the all-white attire of the country-club scene. Racquet was launched to represent the latent, diverse, and large constituency of tennis that has not been embraced by the sport writ large. Featuring the work of some of today's finest writers, the quarterly independent magazine highlights the art, culture, and style that are adjacent to the sport--and just enough of the pro game to keep the diehards satisfied. This collection features some of the best writing from the first four years of Racquet and tackles such immediate topics as: How should tennis smell? What's the deal with Andre Agassi's private jet? What can a professional tennis player learn from Philip Roth? Why is tennis important in Lolita? How was Arthur Ashe like Muhammad Ali? And, crucially, what lessons have we learned from the implosion of that first tennis boom?

It is the mid-1970s in Leningrad, Soviet Union, as six-year-old Alexey Dimitriov plays in Gorky Park with his friends. After two British tourists finish their tennis game, they spontaneously give the racquets and balls to Alexey, who can hardly wait to learn more about tennis. As he heads home with his new gifts, Alexey has no idea his life is about to change forever. As Alexey continues on his coming-of-age journey, he develops a passion for tennis and eventually becomes the Soviet Unions number one player. After he redesigns a tennis racquet that gives him a greater advantage on the court, an American entrepreneur offers him the chance of a lifetime: to train at his Las Vegas ranch to become the number one player in the world. But first he must smuggle his parents out of the Soviet Union, a decision that will lead his mother, Natasha, on a journey she could have never imagined. A Russian Racquet is the story of a Russian tennis player and his immigration to America where both he and his family open the door to a new chapter filled with accolades, adventure, and danger.
