As per usual, OPEN Tennis Vol. 4 is packed with art, photography, and exceptional storytelling. With this new issue the magazine continues our vibrant exploration of tennis through the lenses of culture, fashion, travel, and ideas.

The cover for Volume 4 features German rising star Eva Lys, shot in Hamburg by Lotterman & Fuentes. In this issue, Owen Lewis takes on the press; Takashi Williams digs into the tawdry world of OnlyFans; Simon Cambers unpacks the players’ quirky superstitions; Noah Shulman shares his epic collection of tennis trading cards; and Charles Butler interviews tennis enthusiast and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Percival Everett. As always, we feature loads of original photography—not a single stock image in the issue, we’re pleased to report. In Vol. 4 we present photos by photographic umpire Louis Boucharinc, a shoot from Warsaw by Mirella von Chrupek and a postcard from Forte die Marmi, perhaps Europe’s greatest tennis town. No issue of OPEN Tennis would be complete without the pros. In addition to Eva Lys, we check in with Terence Atmane on holiday in Tokyo and Giri Nathan interviews up-and-comer Nishesh Basavareddy. Elsewhere, Jackson Frons enters The Ojai, house coach Simon Hegelelund gets philosophical, and Brittani Sonnenberg untangles multiculturalism on tour.

As always OPEN Tennis is the product of Artisanal Intelligence.
