The first tennis boom didn’t last forever. But this time—the New American Tennis Boom—is as good of an opportunity to reflect on what the sport has gotten right, during a time when so much has gone wrong. From individuals to organizations, weekend warriors to professional players, minute observations to big-picture ideas, tennis has been top of mind in the U.S. over the past two years. Over the course of this issue, we’ll show you how it happened.

Leylah Fernandez raced from underdog to unbelievable at last year’s US Open. Twists and turns have followed, but she returns to New York as a viable threat to win it all.
The Canadian is just one of the breakouts from the 2021 tournament that we’re tracking this year—and featuring in this issue.

Why is pickleball the focus of our latest issue? The popular paddle sport has more in common with tennis, and with this magazine, than you might think. Read on, and see what pickleball has to offer. You may be surprised by what you find.

Men’s tennis’ youth movement isn’t waiting for the Big Three to depart—it’s arrived. This issue takes a closer look at Daniil Medvedev’s rise to No. 1, Carlos Alcaraz’s head-turning surge, Matteo Berrettini’s inner power, and Casper Ruud’s relentless pursuit. PLUS: Despite new challenges, Rafael Nadal’s place off the court has never been higher.

55 years ago, Tracy Austin graced the cover of World Tennis magazine. Five and a half decades later, this former prodigy’s fascination with her sport—and what it still means to her family, her fans and herself—continues to grow.
 
Tracy is this year's ambassador for Tennis Magazine's annual Academy Issue, which is on sale now.

From a scheduling point of view, here’s hoping this year is as stable as ever. But from a competitive point of view, there may be upheaval on the horizon. Our 2022 season preview digs deep into both tours, taking closer looks at the possible movers and shakers—as well as those trying to hold them off: Ash, Serena and the Big Three.

What’s wrong with American tennis? When it comes to the women, absolutely nothing. And that’s worth celebrating, before a very significant US Open.

The two summer Slams return to their normal positions on the calendar, and it’s time to size them up, through a variety of players, trends and happenings.
