Tennis and warm-up trousers

Warming up in the heat

In tennis, trousers are worn during the warm-up, during training in cool weather, in winter on outdoor courts, and between tournament matches. They keep the leg muscles warm, which reduces the risk of strains during the first sprints and direction changes. Players usually take them off before the match starts, but some keep them on for winter sessions.

Choosing the right one

The tennis trousers should be light and stretchy to avoid hindering lunges and lateral movements. The zippered cuffs allow you to take them off without removing your shoes. An elastic waistband with a drawstring ensures a good fit, and pockets keep a ball or keys handy. The jogging trousers, tapered at the ankle, can also be worn daily. They are washed at thirty degrees, without fabric softener, and air dried.

Frequently asked questions

Can you play a tennis match in trousers?

Yes, it's allowed, especially in winter on outdoor courts. Most players take them off after warming up, but a light and stretchy model allows for comfortable play in cold weather.

What material of trousers is best for playing tennis in winter?

A lightly brushed polyester inside keeps warmth while managing sweat. A windproof fabric protects on outdoor courts. Heavy cotton when wet should be avoided.

Which to choose: straight or tapered trousers at the ankle?

Tapered bottoms prevent the fabric from catching on your feet during movement. Straight bottoms with zippers can be removed over shoes, handy just before the match.

How to choose tennis trousers for children?

Elastic waistband, a bit of extra length to accommodate growth, and zippered bottoms for easy removal. Head Club, Tecnifibre Team, and Bidi Badu Teagan for girls come in junior versions.

How to remove clay stains from trousers?

Let the clay dry and then brush it off to remove as much as possible. Rub the stain with Marseille soap, leave it to act, then wash in cold water: hot water sets the colour of the crushed brick.
