Tennis, Revisited

Tennis, Revisited redesigns tennis for modern public spaces and urban environments, making the sport more accessible and engaging for players with or without access to traditional clubs and facilities. Blending sports design, rule innovation, and alternative court geometry, the book introduces the circular tennis format—an accessible, street-ready format that rethinks traditional tennis courts, rules, and movement. At the heart of the project is a circular court design that challenges the sport’s long-standing rectangular layout. Designed for simplicity and ease of use, the system allows players to set up a playable, netless court in minutes, without specialized infrastructure. Written from a designer’s perspective, Tennis, Revisited examines tennis court design, accessibility, and innovation, offering a practical and thoughtful approach to making tennis playable anywhere.
