Freedom of movement and ball pockets.
The tennis player's shorts
The tennis shorts meet the demands of the game: lunges at full stretch, lateral movements, serves, and smashes. They must allow complete freedom of movement for the legs, without pulling during bends, and remain lightweight throughout a match. They are made from a technical fabric that stretches and wicks away sweat, such as the Lacoste Ultra Dry, which says it all, or the Tecnifibre Team Stretch.

Length and pockets
Brands often indicate the length of the inseam in inches. A seven-inch short, like the Asics Match, stops in the middle of the thigh and frees up the legs: it's the most popular length for dynamic players. A nine-inch short, like the Asics Court, goes closer to the knee for a more classic style. In tennis, you keep the second service ball on you: deep pockets, sometimes lined with an inner ball pocket, hold it securely without obstructing your swing.
The brands
The Mouratoglou shorts, from the Patrick Mouratoglou academy, are named after the major tournaments, Paris, Melbourne, and New York. Lacoste, home of champion René Lacoste, and Tecnifibre, a French brand, also equip players. The women's two-in-one Asics Court includes shorts that keep the ball against the thigh. The Head, adidas Ergo, Mizuno, and Errea complete the offerings, while the Tecnifibre Team Stretch for kids dresses young players. Shorts should be washed at thirty degrees, without fabric softener.

Frequently asked questions
What do seven or nine inches mean on an Asics short?
It's the inseam length: seven inches, roughly ten-eight centimetres, offers a short and free cut, while nine inches, about twenty-three centimetres, hangs closer to the knee.
How to keep your second service ball?
In a deep pocket of the shorts or in the brief of a two-in-one model like the women's Court from Asics: the ball should stay in place without moving during the first serve and come out in one motion.
Shorts or skorts for a female tennis player?
The two-in-one shorts combine a loose short with a brief that holds and keeps the ball. The skort provides the same practicality with a more classic look: it's mainly a matter of personal comfort.
How to choose the right size for a junior?
Children's models, like the Tecnifibre Team, should be chosen based on age and build. If in doubt, go for the next size up with an adjustable elastic waistband for longer wear.
What does Ultra Dry mean at Lacoste?
It’s Lacoste's technical line, made from fabric that quickly wicks away sweat and dries fast. The shorts stay lightweight and dry throughout the match, even in hot weather.
