Since 2014, Martin Parr, one of Britain’s best-loved photographers, has been granted exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the most prestigious Grand Slam tennis tournaments – followed by over 3 million fans each year – from the Australian and French Opens to Wimbledon and the US Open.

Parr’s vivid shots, sometimes poignant, often hilarious, provide a unique overview of life on and off the court, from players to picnickers, sun-hats, and visors to rain-stopped-play. With 85 photographs from a brand new body of work, many published here for the first time, this is an ace gift for all tennis fanatics, collectors, and fans of pop-culture photography.
