The morning ritual

Before the first serve

Coffee before the court. A slow warm-up. Catching up with friends. Some rituals have nothing to do with winning — and everything to do with why we keep coming back.

Arrival

Coffee before the court.

The first ritual of the day often happens before anyone picks up a racket.

Play

Before the first serve

The warm-up. The playlist. The familiar two-step that says: game on.

After

Stay for one more

A drink, a debrief, another half hour. There’s always a reason to stay longer.

Some habits help the game.
Others are simply part of why
we keep coming back.
