The technical shirt for the court.
The shirt has replaced the polo
For a long time, tennis was played in a white polo. Today, most players wear a shirt with a round neck, made of lightweight technical fabric, which is more breathable and offers greater freedom at the shoulders for serving and smashing. It wicks away sweat during long rallies and dries quickly between games. The polo is still required in some traditional clubs and tournaments, like Wimbledon, where white is still mandatory.

Tournament shirts
Brands create their shirts in the colours of the tournaments. Lacoste, founded by champion René Lacoste, dresses the Mutua Madrid Open with a dedicated shirt. The Mouratoglou brand, created by coach Patrick Mouratoglou, dedicates its Match lines to the cities on the circuit, Paris and Melbourne. Tecnifibre, a French brand worn notably by Daniil Medvedev, offers the Tfight and X-Loop shirts. Head, Asics, and Mizuno complete the offer, with fitted or straight cuts.
Choosing and caring for
A tennis shirt should be lightweight and breathable, with mesh zones under the arms or in the back for ventilation. The fitted cut does not float during serves; the straight cut allows for more freedom. Women's models, such as the Head Tiebreak, the Joma Montreal, or the Tecnifibre Team Tech, follow the female silhouette. You wash the shirt inside out, at a low temperature, without fabric softener, which clogs the fibres and reduces breathability.
Good deals
Great deals can also be found in the good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday.

Frequently asked questions
Round-neck shirt or polo for playing tennis?
The round-neck shirt, lighter and freer at the shoulders, is now the choice of most players. The polo is still required in some traditional clubs; check the internal regulations before getting equipped.
Why is white clothing required at Wimbledon?
The tournament imposes a nearly all-white outfit, a tradition inherited from the time when sweat marks were deemed less elegant. The rule applies to both players' clothing and accessories.
What fabric is best for a tennis shirt?
A lightweight technical polyester, often mesh in the back or under the arms, wicks away moisture and dries between games. This is the choice for Tecnifibre, Head, or Mouratoglou shirts, designed for long rallies.
How to ensure a tennis shirt doesn't interfere with serving?
Simulate the serving motion while trying it on: the shirt should not ride up above the waist when you lift your arm, nor pull at the shoulders. A fitted cut also prevents the fabric from floating.
Can a tennis shirt be worn for other sports?
Yes, its breathable fabric and loose shoulder fit are also suitable for padel, badminton, or running. The Asics, Mizuno, or Joma models can be worn easily in a gym.
