A photographic survey of 200 of the best tennis courts in the world, from grass at Wimbledon to clay in Monte Carlo to municipal asphalt in Brooklyn. 336 pages, hardcover, published by Artisan in 2024.

You set it on the coffee table and the photographs do the work. Each court has its own light. Each surface has its own sound when a ball lands.

A gift for the friend who plays. The one who follows the majors and remembers who won at Roland-Garros in 2017. They will read it slowly, court by court, and they will tell you what they think.

Nick Pachelli traveled to every court in the book and shot it himself. The book does what good photography does. It makes you want to go.
