About Portland Tennis Courterly

NOT JUST COVERING TENNIS CULTURE — CREATING IT

Tennis Courterly is now a multi-platform ecosystem. Across print, digital, events, and on-court programming, each arm works in concert to shape tennis culture. Find the Portland Tennis Courterly online, in magazine stores, independent bookshops, and at tennis-supporting retail across the country.

We use Portland — Tennis City, USA — as a laboratory to examine the grassroots tennis experience. This perspective gives us a distinct voice in tennis media — one that moves naturally across the entire vertical of the game.

The print magazine brings together the best in storytelling, photography, art, and design from across the tennis world. Portland Tennis Courterly moves fluidly between professional sport and the everyday park tennis that most tennis players experience.

Alongside the spectacle of pro tennis, we document the game through grassroots communities, public courts, creative culture, and the people who shape tennis at every level.
