A Tennis Poster? Why Not.

If you love tennis, appreciate minimalism, and want an iconic sports moment on your wall – then this poster is made for you.

The Curse of Hawk-Eye

The Hawk-Eye knows no mercy. Developed in 2001 by British mathematician Paul Hawkins, the computer-assisted, millimeter-precise ball-tracking system shatters the dreams of players and spectators alike. A brutally honest moment: when the camera zooms in to 1000% and relentlessly reveals whether the ball caught the line or not. One person’s curse is another’s blessing.

The Poetry of the Millimeter

As unforgiving as this moment may be – to my graphic designer's heart, it is pure aesthetics: a red surface, a white line, and the shadow of the ball – a radical reduction to the essential. Ultimately, Swiss tennis and Swiss graphic design share a defining trait: both stand for a successful tradition of precision that has written global history.

An Ode to Swiss Tennis

Switzerland has shaped the sport of tennis like few other nations: whether Patty Schnyder, Martina Hingis, Roger Federer, Stan Wawrinka, or Belinda Bencic – this poster brings the magic of Swiss tennis tradition to your wall in a minimalist style.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Why not? My passion for tennis and my love for minimalist graphic design met perfectly here. The visual magic of the Hawk-Eye moment had been floating around in my mind for a long time. The result is a visual homage to the legendary tennis line. I briefly show how it came to be in this video.

Thanks to its reduced, minimalist design and bold color planes, the poster unfolds its impact in a wide variety of spaces. It comes into its own best in the large F4 world format in spacious rooms – such as a living room, loft apartment, tennis lounge, or fitness studio.

This design is created for people who share a passion for two worlds: tennis and minimalist design. It appeals to tennis fans just as much as design and architecture enthusiasts. In short: the perfect gift for aesthetes who carry a love for tennis in their heart.

The tennis poster is available in the following sizes:

  • DIN A2 (42.0 × 59.4 cm) – High-quality paper print
  • DIN A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm) – High-quality paper print

FAQ Products & Shipping

Your order (provided it is a poster) will be shipped unframed in a sturdy cardboard tube.

If you have ordered a mounted F4 poster, it will be delivered to you directly by the Bernese printing company Uldry (this service is only available within Switzerland).

No, I ship my posters without picture frames. However, there are providers with great products that I can recommend.

In my opinion, the most beautiful and simplest frames are so-called "Halbe Rahmen" (half-frames). These feature a unique mounting principle using magnetic frames. This allows the pictures to be framed effortlessly without any tools or annoying clips.

Metal Picture Frames

Wooden Picture Frames

With these frames, the formats are cut flush to the poster size. However, it can also look great to choose a larger frame to give the motif more breathing room with a passe-partout (mat board). Real glass can be used for the smaller A2 and A1 formats. For the large F4 world format, I recommend only using Plexiglas for safety reasons.

Please keep in mind: When dealing with graphic prints on paper, you are looking at a natural product, and tolerances can be +/- 5 mm depending on the size.

I offer all poster sizes, from the smallest poster format A3 to the world format ("Weltformat") F4. Here is an overview with the most important information:

A3 – The small one (29.7 x 42 cm) 
As large as a double A4 sheet. Suitable for cozy niches, smaller rooms, or narrow hallways where the motif can be viewed from up close.

A2 – The small large one (42 x 59.4 cm) 
A classic "small poster", as large as a double A3 sheet. This format is frequently seen in Swiss cities for wild postering. It is ideally suited for rooms that have something to say – for the kids' room, the office, or as an eye-catcher in the kitchen.

A1 – The large small one (59.4 x 84.1 cm) 
A proper poster. This one isn't really that small anymore. It fits perfectly above the sofa in the living room, next to the dining table, in a practice/office space, or in a spacious entrance hall.

F4 – World format / Weltformat (89.5 x 128 cm)
The flagship for your wall design. The exact same size as the APG street billboards used in Swiss outdoor advertising. An absolute eye-catcher for really large spaces, wide lofts, or minimally furnished rooms.

Since picture frames in the F4 world format are hardly available in regular retail stores, I offer my F4 posters ready-mounted.

The posters are securely mounted onto a sturdy aluminum Dibond (Alu-Dibond) panel. Two U-profiles are pre-installed on the back, making it incredibly easy for you to hang it up using just two nails or screws.

This service is handled by my partner printing company Uldry in Hinterkappelen (Bern) and is delivered directly to your home in the highest quality.

Please note: Due to their size, mounted F4 posters are only delivered within Switzerland.

Yes – you can find my Postervault at Münstergasse, right in the middle of Bern’s lower Old Town. In addition to posters, you’ll also find postcards, stickers, and fridge magnets there.
