After a successful premier issue last summer, SMASH, the new tennis lifestyle magazine from Miller Publishing, the publishers of TENNIS Magazine and TENNIS.com, debuted as a quarterly with the release of the spring 2006 issue. SMASH's tagline, "It's a Tennis Revolution," speaks to the quarterly's fresh, irreverent approach. Fusing tennis and pop culture, the magazine's design, regular features and photography are cutting edge, creating a voice similar to that of the popular action sports titles. The magazine's accompanying official website, www.SMASHtennis.com, offers additional information and a forum for junior tennis players, including a blog by ATP star Vince Spadea, polls, message boards and much more. The remaining issues in 2006 will be published in May, August and November.
