Step aside paddle, it's time to discuss the OG racket sport: tennis. From the shoes to the rackets to the sweatbands, players are outfitted like champions on the courts. Whether you play recreationally or competitively, there's some serious style to watch. But let's be real. The most important part of the fit is all about the tennis bag.
There are bags that can fit twelve rackets and some that simply hold one. So don't be fooled; size isn't everything. Just because you have the biggest bag doesn't mean you've got the biggest game. The most important part of choosing a tennis bag are your intentions. Commuting to a court in a city? A slimmer style is going to make your transports easier. Playing in a tournament and want to ensure you're completely covered? Opt for a bag with more compartments for rackets, strings, grips, shoes, etc. You can pick a bag from a renowned tennis brand like Babolat or Head, or select something from the luxury realm like MZ Wallace or TUMI.
To get you started, we've rounded up our 13 favorite tennis bags to elevate your game. With one of these, you're on track for a Grand Slam.
