Racquet N°19

Racquet N°19In celebration of Wimbledons Centre Court, which turns 100 this year, we present an entire issue of Racquet filtered through the prism of that storied court, its cover featuring Althea Gibson, the first Black athlete to win the Slam, painted by Marcus Brutus. In these pages, cultural attach Andrea Petkovic takes on Centre Court, where she has never set foot, and Laura Bailey photographs British upstart Francesca Jones, who is profiled by Ed Cumming.
