Welcome to First Serve Magazine, Northwest Florida’s only tennis magazine dedicated to providing our readers with the most up to date event information, community news, health, fitness and instructional information. We distribute our  magazine throughout Destin, Ft. Walton Beach, Navarre, Pensacola Beach, Gulf Breeze, Pensacola, Pace, Orange Beach and Gulf Shores. We also offer free subscriptions which are currently being mailed to all Ladies league and USTA players within our coverage area.

Our readers and contributors are a diverse group that, like us, are FANATICS about tennis and strive for a complete balance between their sport and a healthy lifestyle. Not only are they constantly looking for the latest information regarding technique, strategy and instruction, they are also looking for articles about exercise, nutrition and injury prevention. First Serve Magazine provides the essential tools to help our readers become the best athletes possible.

First Serve Magazine is the “brain child” of Donna Siskind, an avid tennis player who realized the abundance of tennis players in the Gulf Coast area and the lack of information provided to them. “I was part of the Greater Pensacola Ladies Tennis League which has as many as 1,100 players alone and could not believe there was no publication to recognize the exceptional volunteers and players in our area.”  Once the plan was in action, it was imperative that we bring in other fanatics to help create the magazine you see today. With the help of Cherrie Rankin, Sharon Moore, Renee Creech, Mary Hambrick, Terry Thrash, Nan Einhart, Bruce Caton and Brian Sakey the first issue was run off the press in August of 2007. The response to the first issue was overwhelming and since then First Serve Magazine has become the area’s most talked about and sought after publication. We have created an enthusiastic and loyal fan base.
