Or how it feels to watch a match at the Roy Emerson Arena in Gstaad, nestled at the base of the Swiss Alps, or the Il San Pietro Positano, tucked into the rocky coastline of Southern Italyboth courts set against stunning vistas and dramatic backgrounds.</p><p><em>The Tennis Court</em> will appeal to students of the game, avid travelers, design enthusiasts, aspiring adventurers, and players, alike, whether stored on a shelf, in an overhead bin, or tucked inside a racquet bag.</p>...(*_*)9781648293375_<p>A fresh approach to a beloved sport, <em>The Tennis Court</em> is a photographic journey of the 200 most breathtaking tennis courts around the world.</p><p>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.<br />Billie Jean King, sports icon and equality advocate</p><p>Every one of the worlds 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 in its center, and marked with eleven straight lines. But add in the elements of surface, space, wind, acoustics, crowds, shadows, humidity, and even air density, and every tennis court is uniquea work of art. And some are masterpieces.</p><p>Nick Pachelli curates and profiles 200 of the worlds most beautiful, iconic, significant, alluring, and idiosyncratic tennis courts from across the globe, each breathtakingly photographed. He explores the heavyweights, including Wimbledons All England Lawn Tennis Club, which employs a hawk to keep stray birds from soiling the meticulous lawns. Arthur Ashe, the Grandstand, and Court 17 in Flushing, Queens, where hundreds of thousands of tennis fans gather every summer for the US Open. And theres Court Philippe-Chatrier at Roland-Garros, whose clay seems to take on a different shadeburnt orange, burnt red, burgundy, umberevery time you see it.</p><p>We visit far-flung treasures, such as Waiheke Tennis Club in New Zealand, where youll need to take a plane, then a ferry, then a car or bus, and then walk before arriving there. Indoor marvels, including the Tennis Club de Belgique, which evokes the hushed, reverent feeling of a theater, with skylights illuminating the court and leaving the spectators in the shadows. Hidden jewels, such as the tiny Tennis Club San Stin in Venice, a secret, single outdoor clay court tucked away behind a villa and a 15-foot wall shrouded with vines.</p><p>There are urban courts, including the Knickerbocker Field Club, deep in the heart of Flatbush, Brooklyn. Academies, like Rafael Nadals tennis temple in Mallorca, Spain. And the extreme: a single court completely isolated in the wilds of Scotland; a court in northern Spain revealed when the tide goes out, the sand hardens, and the metallic plates that serve as lines reemerge; and a court in Kenya made out of termite mounds.</p><p>Throughout, Pachelli not only conducts a masterful, once-in-a-lifetime tour of the worlds best courts, but in his writing does something equally immersive: He captures the real passionsome might say obsessionthat tennis inspires. Because its on the court, no matter how grandiose or mundane, whether in an exotic locale or around the corner, where tennis players truly see themselves. Where we come face-to-face with our temperament, our drive, our frustration, our bliss, our longing.</p>...9781648293375_Artisanlibro_electonico_9781648293375_9781648293375Nick PachelliInglésMéxico2024-08-27T00:00:00+00:00https://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/hachetteuk-epub-26b791a2-ceb1-4e1f-a940-76390fbf1f61.epub2024-08-27T00:00:00+00:00Artisan
