Tennis players spend plenty of time worrying about their racquets, shoes, and apparel, but they often overlook the importance of choosing the bag that’s right for them. The tennis bag may seem like a secondary concern, but it’s especially important if you find yourself traveling to tournaments beyond the familiar territory of your local park or tennis club. As we’ve come to rely on more and more technology during life on the road – without our smartphones and laptops, we may as well be on Mars, right? – tennis bags have evolved to accommodate those needs.
Tennis Magazine’s 2017 Bag Guide is all about “dual threats” – bags that are both stylish and practical. Here are some selections from that list that we feel really stand out:
