(click image to enlarge)
With 4,400 cubic inches of compartmentalized space, this tennis travel bag is big enough to house your best two rackets in its protective sleeves, keep your shoes and tennis clothes in separate pouches, and still stow a suit to change into at the clubhouse. $90; borisbecker.com 2. DELEO MESH CAP Since they swing in the sun, tennis players are vulnerable to skin cancer. The Deleo lightweight cap has a long brim for extra protection from those harmful early afternoon rays, plus all-mesh construction for supreme comfort and breathability. Oh, and that Serveman logo? It means you’re on Boris Becker’s team. $18; voelkl-tennis.com 3. SERGIO TACCHINI POET WARM-UP SUIT Worn by clay-court specialist and Euromedia darling Tommy Robredo, this suit is coated with Teflon for stain, odor, moisture, and paparazzi control. The poly-mesh liner is comfy, so you’ll want to wear it for post-match drinks. And it looks sleek enough that you can. $150; sergiotacchini.com 4. BOLLÉ SHIFT SUNGLASSES The folks at Bollé understand that it’s hard to hit your kick serve while staring into the midday sun. To remedy this, they created the Shift, shades made just for the court. Thermogrip nose pads and polarized lenses give you the snug, unobtrusive optical advantage you need to hit a topspin ace in spite of the glare. $150; bolle.com 5. PRINCE MV4 TENNIS SHOES For the dog days of summer, the MV4s provide maximal ventilation—a moisture-wicking lining and mesh tongue—plus tread geometry for all four surfaces. And the Goodyear Max outsole will absorb a full season of round-robins. $110; princesports.com 6. PRINCE O3 SPEEDPORT RACKET Unlike traditional rackets, with pin-size string holes, the O3 has giant ports for increased stability, speed, and sweet spot. The new Speedport comes with extra string inserts to customize the racket’s sound, feel, and color. $220 Comments (0)
