From editor Stuart Brumfitt (formally of Fantastic Man, i-D and The Face no less) comes Bagel, a tennis title focusing on the sport's ‘increasing diversity, influence on fashion and participation in popular culture.’ The name, as you keen fans out there will know, refers to a set ending in a 6-0 scoreline. Gracing the cover of issue #3 (technically their fourth; they began with #0) is indie signer Faye Webster—the ‘backhand girlie’ discusses her friendship with Coco Gauff, playing tennis on tour and Andre Agassi obsession. Elsewhere, photographs from Arthur Ashe's tour of Apartheid-era South Africa; the psychology of choking; tennis onscreen; the rise of the super coach (a la Andy Murray); and Madrid's excellently titled queer tennis club Lesbian Garros. bagelmagazine.com
