COURTS MAGAZINE : LA REVUE QUI PROLONGE L'ÉCHANGE

'Courts' Stories are the best stories Courts is about stories. The story of a champion with a strange haircut. The story of a stool born in Monte Carlo that ended its life in Zagreb. The tale of an Italian-named string invented by a German, whose decline came after a Romanian's victory against an Argentine in France. The story of enthusiasts long deprived of these tales. The story of orphans to whom nobody told stories to help them dream. The story of a magazine created to fill this gap. The story of a magazine that became a reference and now seeks to broaden its scope. To tell yet more stories. Funny tales, adventurous stories, sad narratives, picturesque accounts—true or invented—but all vibrant stories that patch together the history of tennis. Stories discovered to later retell as if they'd always been known; stories to read, listen to, and watch; stories to display or wear as a subtle nod to those who recognize them; stories to share with all other tennis enthusiasts.

Allocation of funds

Tennis is evolving. So is 'Courts' The season is (almost) over, Federer bids adieu, but Courts continues its journey through tennis and beyond. Since our launch in 2018, we've relentlessly sought new ways to experience tennis differently and extend the conversation with our loyal readers. Courts presents three premium magazine editions per year, articles accessible to all on our website, podcasts, partnerships with major tournaments, compelling stories both on and off the court (we can mix languages as we release an issue in English every year), exclusive interviews, talented authors, exquisite one-handed and two-handed backhands, modesty, and a lot of passion. But as we know, breaking into the top 10 takes a combination of several factors including talent, the right team, luck, desire, the retirement of the Big 3, and financial stability. That's the focus of this campaign. What we aim for now is to become the go-to destination for tennis enthusiasts, a must-visit transmedia site where the quality and variety of content will satisfy all fans. Like François de Closets and Lena Situations (each representing their generation), we always want more: more video content, more pro tournaments coverage and behind-the-scenes immersion, more extraordinary photos and increased prints, more T-shirts, more artwork, more collaborations, more accessible articles on the website and in our pages, wider coverage, more podcasts, and inevitably, more pleasure. To desire more also means rethinking how we interact with those who follow and read us. Courts doesn't see itself as a John Isner ace kick: we're not a one-way media. We aim to offer a horizontal approach where every tennis fan can acquire a membership card, gaining exclusive access to all ATP and WTA tournaments (from Challengers to the four Grand Slam events), freely enjoy exclusive offers from our partners, and simply feel good in their tennis shoes. If you're a Federer fan, you might have regrets about a certain 2019 final; it would be a shame to accumulate new ones by missing out on this campaign.
