Paradise Courts by Emanuele D’Angelo

A journey through sun and sport — Paradise Courts captures the beauty of tennis beyond the lines, across continents and cultures. Photographer Emanuele D’Angelo turns the world’s most beautiful courts into landscapes of color and calm, from the clay of Paris to the asphalt of New York, the palm-framed terraces of five-star resorts to the worn concrete along Rio’s beaches.

Blurring the boundaries between sport, style, and place, D’Angelo’s lens treats tennis as both ritual and escape — a study in light, architecture, and motion. The book includes a conversation between ATP player Reilly Opelka and writer Foster Kamer on the culture surrounding the game, and a visit to John Lautner’s iconic Sheats-Goldstein House, where collector and tennis devotee James Goldstein reflects on design, obsession, and the art of play.

Bound in hardcover with a fluorescent yellow spine and housed in a deep green velvet slipcase, Paradise Courts is a tactile object — part travel diary, part design artifact. More than a book, it’s a love letter to the game’s aesthetics and the worlds it touches.
