Private sale of racket shirts
This private sale includes tennis and table tennis shirts: technical tops Lacoste, Head, Tecnifibre, Mouratoglou, Asics and Mizuno for the court, shirts Donic for the table tennis hall, in men's, women's, girls' and children's sizes. Lightweight fabrics that dry quickly, cuts that free the shoulder during a serve, and colours inspired by major tournaments.
The player's technical top, at a reduced price.
Breathable polyester and mesh panels on the court
A tennis shirt is primarily judged by its fabric. Technical polyester, often blended with elastane, wicks sweat to the outer surface, where it evaporates, while a cotton top becomes heavy after just a few games. Brands add mesh panels in the back and under the arms, where the body heats up the most during long rallies. Flat seams prevent chafing at the shoulder, which is engaged with every serve, and a stretchy fabric allows for torso rotation on a forehand. These details make the difference between a shirt you forget about and one that sticks to your skin in the blazing sun.

Lacoste, Mouratoglou, Tecnifibre: the signatures of the court
Each brand in the selection has its own story on the court. Lacoste owes its crocodile logo to the nickname of René Lacoste, one of the four Musketeers of French tennis, who launched his brand in 1933; its shirts remain simple, featuring the embroidered crocodile on the chest. The Mouratoglou shirts, born from the academy of Patrick Mouratoglou on the Côte d'Azur, come in colours inspired by the major tournaments, Paris or Melbourne. Tecnifibre, a French brand founded in 1979, first gained recognition among players for its strings before dressing competitors. Head, Asics, and Mizuno complete the offer with straight cuts that are easy to wear for both training and matches.
Table tennis shirt: the colour rule
In table tennis, the shirt follows a precise rule: in competition, its main colour must sharply contrast with that of the ball, either white or orange, so the opponent can track it without hesitation; only the collar and sleeves are exempt. The Donic shirts, a German brand specialising in the discipline, are designed for this purpose: a fitted cut that doesn't hinder rapid arm rotations, lightweight fabric that withstands the heat of gyms, and back-to-back team matches. The Cream and Nexis models also come in children's sizes for young players competing in their first championships.
Women's, girl's and children's fits: choosing your size
The women's shirts, like the Tecnifibre Team Tech, Head Tiebreak, or the Mizuno model, are more fitted at the waist and often shorter, with dropped armholes that free up movement. The girl's Tecnifibre Team Stretch shirt features a very stretchy fabric that accommodates growth. To choose the size, the shirt should cover the waistband when raising the arm to serve, without floating around the bust: an overly loose top can get caught in the racket's movement. If in between sizes, opt for the smaller size for very stretchy fabric, and the larger size for a fit that is already snug.
Frequently asked questions
Is white mandatory for playing tennis?
No, colours are free in leisure play and most competitions. Wimbledon is an exception: the London tournament requires an almost entirely white outfit, an old tradition that some clubs also adopt on their courts.
How to wash a technical tennis shirt?
Wash it at thirty degrees, inside out, without fabric softener: the product clogs the fibres and hinders sweat wicking. Air drying is sufficient, as polyester dries within a few hours, while the tumble dryer can damage the elastane.
Can I play padel or badminton in a tennis shirt?
Yes, the demands are similar: quick movements, arms raised above the head, and heavy sweating. A lightweight and breathable tennis shirt works well for both padel and badminton, whether in a heated indoor space or outside.
Do I need identical shirts for a team table tennis match?
Yes, in competition, players on the same team wear a uniform outfit that is distinct from their opponents and the colour of the ball. The club typically orders the same Donic shirt for all its players.
Short-sleeved shirt or tank top for tennis?
The tank top completely frees the shoulder and ventilation is better in high heat, especially popular in summer. The short sleeve provides more protection from the sun and chafing, making it a reassuring choice for long tournament days.
