COURTSHIP is a photographic ode to the most beloved of racket sports spotlighting the beauty and allure of the tennis court, ranging from high-altitude to wild and secret locations, taking in riviera chic clubs and inner-city brutalism along the way.

For a tennis fan, the quest for a court and a game on the road is eternal. Bailey and Arrigo have documented a range of tennis courts, from iconic European showcourts to hidden gems in city and country settings, capturing the spirit and locale of each court and club in evocative photographs shot exclusively for this book.

They pay tribute to one of the great global sports and their passion for it in words and images.This is a book about style, travel and the quest for the dream court. It’s about the love of the game and the power of community spirit for both friends and strangers. From the Côte d’Azur to the wilds of Loch Lomond and the peaks of the Swiss Alps, COURTSHIP invites you on an intimate adventure chasing Grand Slam beauties and the local courts that can anchor and inspire a village.

Bailey contributes an essay that depicts her life on the court, expressing the joy and the moments of enlightenment she has experienced through tennis. A selection of quotes and short stories from heroes of the game- and the arts- and community leaders, accompanies a series of curated photographs evoking the legends and lore of this most stylish of sports.

A celebratory and inclusive volume designed to capture the spirit of tennis, a well as support grassroots access to the sport via the LTA Foundation. COURTSHIP is timeless and collectible ~ and a love letter to the game.
