THE TENNIS COURT🥳!! I spent the last two years traveling to courts on every continent where we play and settled on 200+ homes of tennis for the book. Hard to believe it’s actually coming out in a few months. Shout out to the team @artisan_books—they all love tennis now. Or hate it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Special shoutout to my fellow tennis-loving photographers/friends whose work is in here! (@maiaflore, @kiehart, @sima_diab, @chrisc.jpg, @betsyjoles, @thomaslindie, @ebonysiovhan, @brockdehaven, @rachaelwrightphoto, @levithegrapher, @omar__erre, @rikydaily) Can’t wait for everyone to see these pages.

Which future court would you choose?
For the first time, the @usopen invited college students nationwide to design the future of tennis grounds of America. 60 entries from 45 universities across the country reimagined everything around the court — not the court itself, but the spaces, the communities, and the climates surrounding it. Only three finalist teams made it to the US Open where voting took place to determine the winner: a bridge-side facility in New York, a waterfront pier in Boston, and a rain-responsive park in Houston.
All finalists took home a cash prize from the @usta 🎾 maybe one day, as the Future Courts initiative continues, we’ll see all these ideas realized.
You can see more from the architects and designers by checking out their pages:

The Houston RAINWOVEN COURT, From @uofpenn @weitzman_arch, @akitings @mcwiggens @lnstud.io @kotaro_shiraishi_arch
The New York COURTLINE UNDERPASS From @harvard @harvard_architecture_studies @danjaraba @inesbici
The Boston FLYING CLOUD TENNIS CENTER, From @princeton @princetonarchitecture and @harvard_architecture_studies @ariannaabor @johnraulstongraham

And special shoutout to the @usta @ustafoundation and all supporting teams for keeping local community tennis alive and well.

Wimblooming

🟣 FLOWER, noun
Definition : The finest individuals out of a number of people or things.
The finest most vigorous period

🟢 Don’t waste the flower of Wimbledon.

Embrace ever color, scent, movement, and rhythm.

The player’s toss ascends in the same lines as the vines and petunias in the walled garden. Across the grounds, you can see the lines, ascents, unfurling in purples, greens, and yellows
