From the centre court to the club.
The polo, born on the court
The modern polo was born on a tennis court. In the 1920s, the French champion René Lacoste, nicknamed the Crocodile, swapped the long-sleeved shirt worn by players at the time for a lightweight and breathable short-sleeved shirt made of cotton pique. In 1933, he founded his brand with the crocodile embroidered on the chest. The polo remains a classic in tennis today, alongside the technical t-shirt.

Lacoste and Roland-Garros
Lacoste offers the French Team polo, in the colours of the France teams, the blended cotton polo, and the technical t-shirts Ultra Dry, which wick away sweat, including a model in the colours of the Madrid tournament. The Roland-Garros t-shirts, in Performance version for playing or Made in France, extend the excitement of the Parisian Grand Slam on clay, available in adult and child sizes.
To play
The Tecnifibre polos and t-shirts, the French tennis brand, Asics Match and Court, Mouratoglou, the brand of French coach Patrick Mouratoglou, and the very breathable adidas Climacool t-shirt are designed for play: lightweight technical fabrics, cuts that allow free arm movement for serving. The women's sleeveless tops Head, Joma and Tecnifibre expose the shoulders. Wash technical tops at thirty degrees, without fabric softener, and air dry them.

Frequently Asked Questions
How was the tennis polo born?
The French champion René Lacoste, nicknamed the Crocodile, replaced the long-sleeved shirt worn by players with a short-sleeved shirt made of cotton pique during the 1920s. He founded his brand in 1933.
Polo or t-shirt for playing tennis?
The polo remains the classic outfit for clubs and is suitable everywhere, on the court as in town. The technical t-shirt, like the Lacoste Ultra Dry, is lighter and dries faster during long rallies.
Pique cotton or technical fabric: which material to choose?
The cotton pique is soft and breathes well, ideal for recreational play. Technical polyester wicks away sweat and dries quickly, making it more pleasant for matches or in hot weather.
Should you wear white to play tennis?
White is required in some grass tournaments and in a few traditional clubs. Elsewhere, colour is free, but white remains elegant and reflects sunlight better.
How to wash a tennis polo without distorting it?
Wash it at thirty degrees inside out, with the collar buttoned, and dry it flat or on a hanger. Avoid the tumble dryer, which shrinks cotton and softens the collar.
