The Club Tennis Magazine: Issue 01

Born from the cinematic realization that the professional tennis tour is the ultimate unscripted movie, this striking debut issue masterfully tracks where high-performance athleticism intersects with travel, premium fashion, and contemporary style.

Holding the premier issue of The Club offers an elevated, tactile escape from typical hyper-analytical sports media; its intentional layout, rich color reproduction, and high-grade paper stock transform a traditional sports publication into a piece of collectible print art. We brought Issue 01 to the dashpress shelves because it treats the court not just as a competitive arena, but as a holistic cultural ecosystem. Created not by professional players, but by passionate outsiders who fell in love with the atmosphere and aesthetics of the game by watching it for years with their fathers, this magazine proves that the world of tennis is simply too good not to turn into print.

This inaugural volume explores the globe around the white sport with a highly sophisticated, multi-disciplinary lens. Originally conceptualized by its creators as a feature film set against backdrops like Paris and New York, the project evolved into a magazine after a pivotal meeting with Andrea Petkovic. Inside, the editorial vision comes to life through a curated mix of tennis, travel, fine dining, and beautiful hotels. It features captivating profiles including Luciano Darderi, alongside a stunning first cover shot in Rome in collaboration with Emporio Armani. A cover selection process the editors describe as more dramatic than a five-set match. From jetlagged gladiators on the tour to the romantic heart of the game, this debut is a vital piece of inspiration for creative technologists, tennis purists, and design collectors who value print as the ultimate canvas for lifestyle storytelling.
