In the year 2022, we bid adieu to two legendary tennis players in Serena Williams and Roger Federer. They weren’t the only ones to leave their fans high and dry this year; the renowned magazine ‘TENNIS’ is also shutting down. The print edition of TENNIS will cease publication with the November/December 2022 issue, capping a 57-year run.

Fans are sad to see the magazine TENNIS follow Roger Federer and Serena Williams into retirement

The magazine TENNIS has documented legendary athletes like Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Serena Williams, Novak Djokovic, and many others over the past 20 years. While keeping up with the most recent developments in training and equipment, the magazine also stayed true to its roots as a recreational organization. They concentrated on the sport’s most important component, i.e. thousands and thousands of players and fans who play it.
