"A photo book captures both the energy and serenity of the tennis court, from the remote to the renowned." — New York Times Book Review"...Courtship serves up the photographic splendor of some of the world’s most desirable courts, from the white-lined grass lawns in Positano to the handsome terracotta-clay arenas in the Swiss village of Grindelwald. It’s the kind of book that will have you reaching for a racquet this summer. Now the ball’s in your court." — Monocle"With the growing global popularity of tennis, the genre of books about the game has become more popular—but Rizzoli’s newest, Courtship: For the Love of Tennis takes a novel approach. Divided into two sections, the tome spotlights hidden tennis courts (with photography by Mark Arrigo), and then features a series of love letters to the sport from a diverse range of contributors, including Billie Jean King, Black Girls Tennis Club founder Kimberley Seldon, actor Eddie Redmayne, champion Naomi Osaka, the former British no. 1 (and current Wimbledon board member) Tim Henman, and many, many more." — Town & Country"The courts featured in Courtship, and the writing that accompanies them, honor moments in the expansive lifespan of the sport, underscoring a singular reasoning—the space that hosts the game is part of the magic: this dance is not a duet nor a double’s match, but a trio, the beauty a product of the place, the sport, the practice." — Flaunt "Dear Tennis, I love you, I love you not, I love you." — Naomi Osaka"...who knew that a two piece rubber shell filled with pressures gas and clad in fuzzy yellow stuff could promise so much? This is the sport." — Eddie Redmayne"...the characters, the style, the drama...I loved it all. The play, the competitive spirit, and of course, the haircuts." — David Beckham
