Paradise Courts, the best tennis coffee table book you’ll ever see Through the lens and mind of Broken Rackets

Internationally known under his artistic alter ego Broken Rackets, Emanuele d’Angelo is a prominent figure in tennis photography worldwide. From courts set in exclusive locations along the crystalline shores of Lake Como, to the hills of Los Angeles, home of James Goldstein, and the legendary concrete courts of Central Park in New York, d’Angelo explores the world in search of places that embody both elegance and the most authentic essence of tennis, photographing every court he encounters along his journey with a predominantly documentary style, as seen in his first photobook, Paradise Courts, published by ERG Media.

Paradise Courts collects over 200 original images by d’Angelo, carefully selected and presented in a large-format volume, hardcover with a tennis-ball yellow spine, and a refined green velvet slipcase. The images guide the reader through the world’s most exclusive courts, from five-star hotels to the legendary beaches of Rio de Janeiro, and the crystal-clear waters of Sardinia. His gaze also lingers on spectators’ gestures, their impeccable outfits, and the lifestyle of clay-court enthusiasts.

The book also includes interviews with Reilly Opelka and James Goldstein, legendary Los Angeles figure and owner of the Sheats-Goldstein House, designed by John Lautner. You can order Paradise Courts at this link.
