If you’ve ever wondered about the origins of the game, there’s a niche but entertaining potted history of the iconic bright yellow tennis ball that you might enjoy. A standout for us was a surprising piece that looks at how tennis can be used to produce modern art. And if you’re based near (or visiting) London, you might be interested in a tour of the Barbican’s tennis court, where you can take in the game surrounded by brutalist architecture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho’s \u003cem\u003eRacquet  \u003c\/em\u003efor?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis would suit you if you already have an interest in tennis and want to explore its wider cultural reach.
