Produktbeschreibung
"There are tennis courts everywhere in the world, and Nick Pachelli has curated two hundred of the most beautiful and significant ones out there, from Arthur Ashe and Wimbledon to the stunning dusty red clay courts of the Tennis Club Argentino in Buenos Aires to the Il San Pietro, tucked into the magical cliffs of Positano, Italy. The Tennis Court is a stunning visual salute to the tennis court as not only a sporting destination, but a cultural gathering ground shared around the world. Through breathtaking photography and brief descriptions of each court, the book will take readers through the history, architecture, and the experience of being at each of the courts, for example, surface materials and what it's like to play on the crisp grass courts of the All England Club or watching the masters on red clay in Monte Carlo. Or how it feels to watch a match at the Roy Emerson Arena in Gstaad, nestled at the base of the Swiss Alps, or the Il San Pietro Positano, tucked into the rocky coastline of Southern Italy, both courts set against stunning vistas and dramatic backgrounds. The Tennis Court will appeal to students of the game, avid travelers, design enthusiasts, aspiring adventurers, and players, alike, whether stored on a shelf, in an overhead bin, or tucked inside a racquet bag"--]cProvided by publisher.
