The Sunday edit A tennis bag should probably have a ring pocketA bag for the ring, a book about love and a hat for everything after. |
A note from Joshua A wedding this weekend has me thinking about my own, almost eleven years ago. I learned tennis because my girlfriend loved it. I figured if she loved it, I could too. When it came time to propose, I wanted the classiest court I could find. The All England Club was out of budget. The Phoenician in Scottsdale had grass. It was the first time I had ever stepped onto a grass court. The ring was tucked inside my tennis bag, so I treated every zipper and racquet like a threat. We played. I asked. It worked. She said yes. |

The Park Tennis take Wilson RF Lawn Collection Practice Duffel BagDesigned with input from Roger Federer and inspired by grass-court tennis, Wilson’s cream duffel carries up to six racquets and includes a separate shoe compartment and accessory pockets. Wilson gave this bag space for six racquets, shoes, water, balls and the rest of the life that trails you onto court. There is no ring-box pocket. An understandable omission and, for one very specific morning, a glaring oversight. If you are going to carry a diamond in your tennis bag, it may as well be the one inspired by Federer on grass.

Also worth bringing For love, all faults included. |
Ace The Moon Love All Faults HatThe pro gave us matching hats after I proposed, so a hat had to make the edit. Ace The Moon’s Love All Faults cap is the rare tennis pun that gets more accurate after almost eleven years of marriage. Buy two. Matching is optional. The message is not. View at Ace The Moon |
Courtship: For the Love of TennisCourtship travels from grand clubs to city courts in a 240-page love letter to the game, a reminder that sometimes the court becomes part of the story and, if you are lucky, the marriage. View on Amazon |
