Paradise Courts

Paradise Courts takes readers on a journey across some of the world’s most remarkable tennis courts, photographed by Emanuele D’Angelo, also known as Broken Rackets. A former fashion-industry insider, D’Angelo brings a contemporary perspective to the sport, capturing both its movement and the cultural moments that surround it.

From the shoreline of Lake Como to James Goldstein’s hillside estate in Los Angeles, from public courts in New York’s Central Park to the beaches of Rio de Janeiro, Paradise Courts shows tennis as both a lifestyle and a visual story. Alongside more than 200 original images, the book includes conversations with ATP player Reilly Opelka and cultural figure James Goldstein, offering rare insight into the intersections of sport, art, and architecture.

Presented in a large-format, hardcover-bound volume with a tennis-ball-yellow spine and a green velvet slipcase, this book is designed as both a visual record and a collector’s piece. Paradise Courts celebrates the game of tennis not only through its courts, but through the communities, culture, and design that bring them to life.
