Steph Chung is managing partner at Racquet, the New York-based magazine that takes a fresh, anti-elitist look at the world of tennis. There have been some big changes since the last issue, with editor David Shaftel and art director Larry Buchanan both leaving the magazine, and a more commercial emphasis across the pages, with a big Gucci photo shoot on the cover and inside, and a partnership with Seoul-based cultural creators Ssoldot. It's all part of a plan to take advantage of what Steph calls, “the convening power of the magazine”, and in this conversation she outlines their plan for making it more commercially successful, while expanding further into events, merchandise, and other activities based around tennis.
Doree and Elise talk to Racquet Magazine founder Caitlin Thompson about the rise of tennis culture in the U.S., learning to reshape your identity when retiring from a sport, what success looks like for a brand centered on a niche physical media, and why your tennis racket probably doesn't matter.

Veteran Tennis.com writer, Racquet Magazine columnist & "Three - A Tennis Show" podcast host Joel Drucker ("Jimmy Connors Saved My Life") stops by to drop some serious knowledge on how the decade of the 1970s transformed the sport of professional tennis into the global juggernaut it is today - including pivotal turning points such as: The groundbreaking World Championship Tennis (WCT) and Virginia Slims Circuit tours that brought standardized scheduling, big-time media exposure and unprecedented prize money to both the men's and women's pro games for the first time' 1973's paradigm-shifting intergender "Battle of the Sexes" competition between inveterate hustler Bobby Riggs and female icon Billie Jean King - an international spectacle whose result both transcended tennis and changed the face of American sports; and World Team Tennis - the innovative, ahead-of-its-time rethink of how the pro game could be played - featuring city-domiciled, co-ed, team-oriented match play on colorful playing surfaces in front of raucous crowds in major indoor arenas from coast to coast. + + + SPONSOR THANKS: 417 Helmets (promo code: GOODSEATS): https://417helmets.com/?wpam_id=3 BUY/READ EARLY & OFTEN: Jimmy Connors Saved My Life: A Personal Biography (2004): https://amzn.to/46cdPQQ FIND & FOLLOW: Website: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill Instagram (+ Threads): https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable
Tennis and golf are two sports central to all country clubs. With such a concentration of players and spectators emanating from the private members clubs, is it that tennis is still inaccessible to many? We ask this question with famed writer Amisha Savani, the co-author to The People's Wimbledon. How the media and contributors views tennis, both at the major tournaments and at the private members club, is so important to our club industry. Last year we brought on the podcast the publisher of Racquet Magazine and this summer we recorded a conversation with one of the leading British writers covering tennis: Amisha Savani. As this is a rather timeless piece, we thought we'd bring it out as we head into Autumn with the memories of Summer 2023 in our mind's eye. Amisha is a regular contributor to Courts Magazine, and recently has written a book, The People's Wimbledon – a coffee table book. "It's aimed at 'the people' " she says, priced right for all to enjoy. She believes that Wimbledon is for the people. Discussed are the differences between the four major tournaments – the romance of the French Open, the tradition of Wimbledon, and the exuberance of New York's US Open. There have been so many changes to the the majors: roofs, ticket prices, alcohol policies, and where we position tournament play within the tennis and private members club industry.
Along with his brothers Vijay, Anand Amritraj is Indian Tennis Royalty and is considered to be amongst the first Indians to compete on the elite level. He posted a win over John McEnroe on grass, and won 7 titles. In doubles he won 12 titles and reached the semis of Wimbledon and the quarters of the US Open. He was on the 1974 and 1987 Davis Cup Teams that both reached the finals, and his participation catapulted him into a lifetime of stardom.With his flowing feathered white hair and his colorful wardrobe, Anand is one of the flashiest dressers the sport has ever seen, is on the cover of Racquet Magazine, and we talked about it all.Recorded 8.28 at the US Open and Released 9.9The Craig Shapiro Tennis Podcast is powered by Diadora Hosted on Acast.

Sure we remember the epic 2009 Australian Open final between Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, but that wasn't the best match of the tournament.

Here at Beyond the Baselines we're excited to catch up with the co-founder and publisher of Racquet Magazine, Caitlin Thompson, for our latest podcast. Caitlin Thompson, former D1 player for University of Missouri, and editor of Racquet Magazine Caitlin offers wise and salient observations on the state of tennis, both on the court and in the media, just as getting on the court and socializing with like-minded friends remains as important to Caitlin as is scheduling a business meeting in an office, In fact, she seems to enjoy the court more as an office! A former Division 1 player at Mizzou, Caitlin's media career has included time at the The Washington Post, Time Magazine, and The New York Times before Racquet exploded onto the scene in 2016. This boutique magazine aimed at an aspirational leadership embraces yesterday's culture and moves forward to attract new and returning tennis fans. The roots of Racquet? Nostalgia for tennis's past culture with a flair toward the future. Caitlin was keen to revive an image of tennis that is more approachable and immersed in culture. We recall a heady blend of nostalgia and style that was both wild and exciting which in turn has become a celebration and homage to the stylish days of tennis in the '70s and '80s. Racquet Magazine recalls the characters, flair and style that epitomizes the golden age and ethos of the sport. Tennis, Twitter, and Time - How Tennis Can and Should Transcend Media and Centuries In conversation with Ed, Caitlin draws upon a wealth of experience to give us her observations on a variety of eclectic topics: Twitter may be a giant platform for celebrities to air their views, and for fans to respond, but will the social media platform become a dusty relic in a changing, more closely regulated culture within social media? Caitlin is immersed in marketing and publishing and we query with her how important is the written word in a world of brisk social media. On a light-hearted note we talk about those behind the microphones - who holds the microphone today and who should hold it in the future for tennis commentary? Maybe this podcast offers a couple of suggestions for the changing of the guard for the CBS and NBC commentary boxes! JP and Martina watch this space! We talk about how politics is currently transcending sport and its positive and negative impact on tennis and its image. Outspoken players have existed in the past but new social platforms with outspoken players today might not always be enhancing the image of our sport? Politics influences sport in multi-faceted ways. Maybe the stories that hit the headlines aren't always properly contextualized and challenged. It's a discussion that will go on for years, we believe. Our regular business-sided listeners will be keen to hear Caitlin's views on the need to attract dynamic investors to the sport and media surrounding the sport as she ponders some of the best kept secrets in NYC - both courtwise and foodwise! courts and an appetite for a narrative and tradition in tennis. Finally, in whimsical mood we explore a sense that the halcyon days of tennis appeals to a large group of people who remember an era. However do missed opportunities mean tennis has not capitalized on its strengths by adding new fans? In fact could it have marginalized itself through a boring narrative and brand dominance. Caitlin cites NBA vigor while tennis may be seen to suffer from a bland corporate narrative. Truly a breath of fresh air in a somewhat stagnant post-Covid environment, Caitlin continues to create a space that invites exciting, influential and vibrant personalities in to the world of tennis. Tune in to the podcast to find out even more!

MIAMI, FL — My guest today is Caitlin Thompson, founder and publisher of Racquet Magazine. A cultural tennis publication, platform and movement like no other. Caitlin and I caught up in Miami Beach on the tail end of ‘Racquet House' — a quarterly in-person celebration of Racquet, grassroots tennis and its global community.

She's poised, a phenomenal storyteller and has a kickass vision for what a modern-day media company and publisher can look like. In short: Caitlin makes ideas — whether they are yours or others — better. Hence why I wanted to record this episode. We dive deep into the why of Racquet House, what it takes to build phenomenal physical experiences in the 21st century and how Caitlin thinks about leveraging brands to create spaces that people will never forget. You won't want to miss this one. Game, set and match to Caitlin Thompson. https://racquetmag.com/
Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic is known for being among the best male tennis players in the world. Off the court, he's known for his anti-vaccine sentiments. The Australian Open granted him a medical exemption that would allow him to compete, but when he attempted to enter the country on Thursday, January 6, he was detained at the border. He was released on January 10, but his future at the Open remains uncertain.Caitlin Thompson, co-founder of Racquet and publisher of Racquet Magazine, a print quarterly on the culture of tennis, explains why Djokovic was detained, and what makes him such a polarizing figure in the tennis world, and why this may not be the end of the story.
In October last year state and federal officials confirmed vaccinations would be mandatory for any athletes participating in the tournament, leading to speculation the world number one, Novak Djokovic, who is unvaccinated, would be unable to defend the championship. However, in January of this year, Djokovic posted on social media confirming he would be participating, as he had a medical exemption approved by the Victorian health department. After some hefty public backlash the Australian prime minister Scott Morrison confirmed Djokovic's visa had been cancelled and he seemed likely to be deported. But Djokovic has now appealed the decision; at present, he remains in immigration detention at a Melbourne hotel. A legal hearing on whether Djokovic will be allowed to play in the tournament is expected to begin on Monday. Caitlin Thompson is the co-founder and publisher of Racquet Magazine and she joins Emile to discuss the impact of the events in Melbourne on the world of tennis.
Caitlin Thompson of Racquet Magazine joins Joe Molloy as defending champion Novak Djokovic was cleared to play at the Australian Open after receiving a medical exemption.
Ben Rothenberg is one of the most well informed, and polarizing figures in the tennis twittersphere. He's a fantastic writer, working for outlets such as the New York Times, as well as being one of the editors of Racquet Magazine. He's also written the definitive story (to this point) on the abuse allegations against Alex Zverev. He's also one of the more polarizing figures in tennis social media circles. We spend about 10 minutes each on: 1) His upcoming trip to Australia 2) the lack of real updates on Peng Shuai and 3) how he balances his journalism, with his social media presence. Hope you enjoy!

When Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai accused a former Chinese Vice Premier of rape, what came next was darkly predictable: the athlete disappeared from public view while the government scrubbed all mentions of her allegations and censored searches for her name. But few expected the Women's Tennis Association to strike back, suspending all future tournaments in China and Hong Kong. As the WTA stands up to China - leaving millions of dollars on the table - will other sports organizations follow suit and hold the government to account over its human rights abuses?

This Friday episode begins with some quick discussion around Slugger White joining up with Greg Norman and the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Investments, as well as the European Tour becoming the “DP World Tour” with a 47-event schedule. There's also a reading of an extremely weird Slugger and Norman moment illustrative of why they might be working together again. Then Andy and Brendan continue on with their Friday guest routine to go decisively off-golf-topic with Ben Rothenberg, a tennis writer for the New York Times, Racquet Magazine, and host of the No Challenges Remaining podcast. It was suggested to them that tennis has many of the same structural and organizational issues, and strengths, that golf currently grapples with and that Ben would be the perfect guest to orient them on that. It's an interesting and edifying discussion on another sport that should resonate with the golf nut who might know little (or a lot!) about pro tennis.

We would like to note that we did not plan to talk about the accusations against Alexander Zverev. We decided to lead with his accomplishments in Madrid, and then Nathan mentioned the accusations that are not even mentioned anymore. We find that suspicious on many different levels. There are multiple alleged incidents, and the biggest one seems to be August 2019 in New York. The link to "Olya's Story" in Racquet Magazine is below, as well as other articles about the situation.

Whoops, 11:08) and even Serena Williams playing in Parma. In the second half, we talk about Rafael Nadal's 10th Rome title as he gears up to win his 14th French Open (19:11), talk about Novak Djokovic's run to still make the final (27:31), Iga Swiatek's dominant Rome final as she gears up to defend her French Open (32:53), and end talking about why Ash Barty is still the favorite to win her second title in Paris (34:54).

Instead of training for up to five hours a day as they prepare for the Australian Open, 72 players find themselves unable to leave their hotel rooms under quarantine rules -- and a number of them are vocally expressing their frustrations.Some are not only frustrated. Covid-19 Quarantine Victoria Commissioner Emma Cassar said on Sunday that there had been a "small few" people -- including a player -- within the Australian Open quarantine hotels who were "testing our procedures."A fourth Covid-19 infection was recorded among the passengers on the two charter flights carrying players to Melbourne for the Australian Open in recent days, according to Cassar.A member of a broadcast team on the flight carrying 24 players from Los Angeles had tested positive, adding to a crew member and a coach on the same plane who were tested positive earlier. The other case was a coach on a charter flight carrying 23 players from Abu Dhabi.Later on Sunday, Australian Open organisers announced that another 25 players had been placed in quarantine hotels after a passenger on a Doha-Melbourne flight that arrived on Saturday had returned a positive Covid-19 test."The passenger is not a member of the playing contingent and had tested negative before the flight," said the Australian Open in a statement. "There were 58 passengers on the flight, including 25 players."All 72 players affected are required to quarantine for two weeks and will not be able to leave their hotel rooms for the 14-day period and until they are medically cleared. They are not eligible to practice."A player who opened his door to try to have a conversation with his training mate down the hallway," added Cassar. "The other was another gentleman who shouted some Uber Eats to some other people on the floor and was praising himself for his great efforts and opened his door to do so."It is really low-level but really dangerous acts which we just can't tolerate," said Cassar. One of the two people mentioned was a player, and they have been warned, according to the Covid-19 Quarantine Victoria Commissioner.World No. 71 Sorana Cirstea said she understood the need to quarantine, but that being unable to train and practice would affect her ability to compete effectively at the Australian Open."People complaining we are entitled," tweeted Cirstea. "I have no issues to stay 14 days in the room watching netflix. Believe me this is a dream come true, holiday even."What we cant do is COMPETE after we have stayed 14 days on a couch. This is the issue, not the quarantine rule.""I would need at least 3 weeks after in order to be in decent form again and compete at a high level! said Cirstea in another tweet.'Wrong surface'Belinda Bencic echoed Cirstea's observation that competitive balance at the Australian Open, which is the first grand slam of the tennis season, could be affected with quarantined players at a significant disadvantage."We are not complaining to be in Quarantine," tweeted Belinda Bencic. "We are complaining because of unequal practice/playing conditions before quite important tournaments.In another tweet the world No. 12 said: "Wrong surface but that doesn't matter for us." The tweet was accompanied by a video of Bencic, with racket in hand, gently hitting a tennis ball against the window of her hotel room.However, one leading former tennis star gave short shrift to any players complaining about quarantine."I have opinions on these tennis players complaining about the quarantine situation here in OZ & for the @AustralianOpen & theyre NOT going to want to hear it from me."Its got something to do with a minimum of $100,000, free flights, food & lots more, want to talk @ me kids?" tweeted Rennae Stubbs, who has won six grand slam doubles title. Now retired, Australian Stubbs works as a TV pundit and hosts the the Racquet Magazine podcast.Meanwhile Australian Open Tournament Director Craig Tiley confirmed on Sunday that the tournament will go ahead...

Clouds of controversy continue to hang over Alexander Zverev's head despite his recent on-court successes. Not even his recent finals appearance at the Paris Masters event in Bercy (big congrats to Danili Medvedev for taking the title!) could detract from the detailed allegations of physical and emotional abuse that his ex-girlfriend Olga Sharipova opened up about that week. Jay and Aldwin tackle this difficult story with care as they share some of the startling details that Olga recently shared with Racquet Magazine and address some of the feedback given about this breaking story from a few devoted listeners. The two end the podcast with on an optimistic note as they briefly discuss the tennis world's reaction to the US Presidential election.

On-court action unfortunately takes a back seat on the podcast this week as we discuss in depth the allegations from Olya Sharypova that her ex-boyfriend, Alexander Zverev, physically and emotionally abused her during their relationship.We lay out the new allegations from Sharypova detailed in her interview with Racquet Magazine, present Zverev’s responses throughout the week to questions about the accusations, and talk through Jon Wertheim’s extensive take on the issue.We also examine the way in which Zverev’s refusal to comment beyond his initial statement has been disappointing, how the ATP’s silence is making matters worse, what the phrase ‘Believe Women’ means and demands of us, and the way this incident is affecting how we feel about the sport right now.In the second half of the episode, we chat about Daniil Medvedev’s victory in Paris, the completion of the ATP Finals line-up, the climax of the WTA season in Linz, Tennis Australia’s potential plans for an extended swing Down Under in 2021, and Nick Kyrgios’ openness about his struggle with depression.The Tennis Podcast is presented by Catherine Whitaker and David Law, and features Matt Roberts.

This week's episode discusses the accusations of domestic violence made by Alexander Zverev's ex-girlfriend Olga Sharypova, as further detailed in Ben's interview with her last week which was published on Thursday by Racquet Magazine. Ben is joined for this episode by Jon Wertheim of Sports Illustrated and 60 Minutes, who discussed the allegations in his column this week. What to make of the accusations? How should the ATP respond? Why doesn't tennis have a clear domestic violence policy like other sports? And what does silence make clear about tennis' shortcomings?Also, a little detour into comparing tennis scoring and the electoral college.

Meldonium, The Mendez Brothers and more in part 2 of our discussion with elite coach MICHAEL JOYCE.

Michael Joyce came up deep in the Southern California tennis scene: brushing shoulders with the rich and infamous; playing tennis with fabled champions; and receiving instruction from legendary coaches. After an illustrious junior career in which he finaled Junior Wimbledon and won Kalamazoo, Joyce went pro and caught the attention of David Foster Wallace who subsequently wrote one of the seminal articles about tennis about him. As a player, he beat Courier, Becker, Kafelnikov and many more. But he’s probably best known as one of the top elite coaches on the tour. He’s worked with Azaranka, Konta, Pegula and Bouchard. And he coached Maria Sharapova through three major championships and to #1 in the world. The man has so many stories and so much insight we just couldn’t fit it into a single episode. So here is part 1 where Joyce discusses the machinations of coaching at the highest level. He tells us what it was like to grow up with a tennis obsessed father who learned tennis in Plummer Park from legends like Bill Tilden and Pancho Gonzales. And he shares the story of what exactly happened with him and Genie Bouchard. We met up with Michael during the US Open where he was coaching Timea Babos the Hungarian best known for her #1 doubles ranking. (Recorded August 26, 2019.

I Like Your Work: Conversations with Artists, Curators & Collectors
Joan LeMay is a portraitist and illustrator who is interested in pattern, gesture and Byzantine halos. She loves painting people, animals, plants and things (a kind of anthropomorphic approach to portraiture) in equal measure, and packs referential objects, color-based symbolism and other subject-specific elements into the busy backgrounds of her work in order to reflect the soul and life of the person or creature depicted. We talk about creating opportunities, RuPaul, the music industry and how she has put them all together. Her work has been exhibited in Texas, L.A., Seattle, Portland, OR, WA, NYC, and Germany. Her illustration clients include Lenny, Damn Joan, Racquet Magazine, Topic, Punch Drink, Novation, MLM LLC, Jamie Walters Interior Design and others. Her paintings have appeared in Architectural Digest, Apartment Therapy, Juxtapoz and other publications. Her album artwork appears on LPs by Benjamin Gibbard, Laura Gibson, Dave Depper, Clint Michigan, Jennifer O'Connor, The White Papers, and others. She is currently creating artwork for the upcoming documentary film "It's Not A Burden", produced and directed by the Emmy-nominated team at Greenie Films. She is also, and always, taking portraiture commissions for pets, people and places, and continues to illustrate for multiple outlets from her studio in Santa Fe, NM . “I’ve seen scarier.”--John Waters on Joan’s portrait of him “I love the painting, it’s just perfect”--Amy Sedaris on Joan’s portrait of her “I love this!

It was a rough start to the GAA season on Saturday night, when it briefly looked as if Castlebar's MacHale Park might be blown away for the opening match of the Allianz National Football League. A hurricane of a different sort ripped through Clones on Sunday however, as Monaghan turned a 6-point deficit into a 3-point win against the reigning league and championship winners Dublin. Their captain Colin Walshe joins us on the line to talk must-win moments, super subs and offensive marks. If the men's final at the Australian Open sounded like a pairing that could have happened in 2009, then the women's final would've sounded impossible even this time last year. Caitlin Thompson of Racquet Magazine joins us to talk about Naomi Osaka's back story, apologies and back to back grand slams, Petra Kvitova's return from getting stabbed in the hand, the great Novak Djokovic mystery and why variety beats dominance. Plus there's the Blair Witch Project, motion sickness, Long Hug Therapy, Eoin McDevitt Junior, and Derek McGrath > Jose Mourinho.

(42:50) As always, there's the Burn Pile (58:00), BAWOTW (1:06:35), and What's Good (1:08:07).

In this episode of 5to9, we talked to Caitlin Thompson, the Director of Content at acast and creator of side project, Racquet. Racquet is an independent magazine that celebrates the art, ideas, style and culture that surround tennis. This side project has generated a cult following since launch in 2016 and has been commended as “extremely dope”, “a rare tennis magazine with taste”, and “deliciously smart” in tons of publications such as the New York Times, the Harvard Neiman Lab, and The Monocle. We talked about her fascinating upbringing in Montreal, what it was like realizing that although being quite successful in tennis during her teen years, she didn’t want to pursue the sport professionally, her obsession with multi-faceted people, why she decided to do a side project after having a child, and how she learned to ruthlessly prioritize.

This week I made my first ever trip to Wimbledon to speak with Caitlin Thompson and David Shaftel, publisher and editor of Racquet magazine. Recorded during their garden party, with Pimms clinking and the cheers from centre court in the background, it's probably our most quintessentially English episode so far, despite the fact that it features two Americans. Hear them speak about their mission to create a fresh and distinctive tennis brand that means something to them, and which does justice to the sport they love.

The French Open for 2016 is upon us, the draws have been made, and Catherine Whitaker is in Paris for the fortnight. David Law isn't, but that doesn't stop them getting together to pour over the potential match-ups and make the usual batch of sweeping, and most likely ill conceived predictions. We hear from Magnus Norman, coach to Stan Wawrinka, about how you beat Novak Djokovic in a Grand Slam tournament, from catherine about what Roland Garros is like (full of quiche, apparently) and from David about how the French Open caused him to fail his A-levels. The Tennis Podcast is produced in association with The Telegraph. This preview edition of the Tennis Podcast is sponsored by Racquet Magazine, a new, print-only, quarterly tennis magazine which 'does justice to the game we love—from tennis' buccaneering past to its modern global culture'.
