Every 2 months.
Which national database are you referring to? If it's the USTA one, I'm not sure if that's good enough. Theoretically it should be: USTA [or even the Post Office] should forward the new address info to the magazine.
But if you look inside the magazine [usually very near the beginning or the end], there's tiny print mentioning to "send address changes to X". You may have to do that too?

I actually have been receiving it.
OK I called USTA now. It seems I had unsubscribed to a notification which was about receiving the print copy. It must have happened when I received some email and decided to hit the unsubscribe link and cleared all preferences or something. I restored it now and they are looking into sending me back issues from March if available.

Yeah, the usta.com profile page. I had signed up for USPS forwarding. I bought a place over a year ago and changed it then. The old address is my folk's place and nothing was received there either.
I never unsubscribed to anything, email or otherwise.
It's correct.

Thanks for the replies. I'm not going to bother since I'm not really missing out and saves the environment a little bit. I was just curious since I was at my folk's house over the weekend and saw my old magazines that I haven't gotten around to reading yet haha.

BTW: according to their web page, standard 1st class forwarding stays in effect for a year. But for magazines, etc., only 3 months.

didn't know that, thanks. so what happens then? USPS just doesn't deliver it anywhere and they throw it away?
i "think" i got one piece of mail from USTA at my new address so if i did recall that correctly then they have my correct address on file.

If the forward expires, the mail will get delivered to the original address, I assume. The Postmaster is supposed to forward change of address info to the sender but I have no idea how that works.
But did it have your new address or did it have a forward sticker from your previous address?

You may want to check your address. While you’re at it, you may also want to check what year it is and whether anyone reads magazines.
I read them when eating.

I have.
It is very relaxing when eating or on the throne. Cell phone screens are too small.

Very disappointed with Tennis Magazine, there's never anything really worth reading, it's all promo and hype of the same players. The last good interesting article I read was about eight years ago about tennis being played at a prison. Everything since has been the same old fluff, same old cliché quotes. Have not tried Racquet Magazine yet. The best was Tennis Week. Rather re-read old copies of TW than the new TM.
It is a good read during lunch/dinner/throne.

I like Gigi Fernandez's doubles column.
I pay no attention to the gear reviews since I already know what shoes I like and I'm not about to change racquets any time soon.
As far as the asymmetrical coverage, they're just reflecting the same bias that the presumed reader base has [according to their market research, I guess].
