Write for us

We welcome clear, original pitches that help readers notice a specific feature of tennis without turning a useful observation into a rule for every player.

What fits

Pitch an explanation of court space, a rally pattern, a player decision, movement between shots or a way to follow a match. Strong ideas begin with a precise question and leave room for the game to be more complicated than the answer.

A useful proposal

Tell us the working title, central idea, intended reader and what the piece would let someone notice or understand. Explain the angle in a short paragraph and flag any sources, illustrations or outside contributions you expect to need. Do not send a finished article unless requested.

Originality and care

We consider original work that distinguishes observation from opinion, uses terms consistently and avoids unsupported claims about players or outcomes. Proposals are sent through the Contact page; choose the editorial question option and identify your note as a pitch.
