The popularity of tenniscore offers a great opportunity for gift giving, whether your friends and family are hardcore tennis fans or just here for the fashion. As someone who has been playing tennis since childhood, I love that the sport is having a major moment right now – with a fresh batch of talents like Coco Gauff making history and the Challengers movie doing the important work of bringing back sex scenes.
I’m from a tennis family – my parents met playing tennis, and my brother teaches tennis professionally – and I know that no matter how long we’ve been playing, we always appreciate a good tennis-themed gift.
Tennis gift ideas span functional gear like sunglasses, racquet bags, and socks; purely fashionable items like sweaters and pajamas; fun tennis-themed accessories including candles and jewelry; and, of course, cute tennis clothes. (I don’t believe it’s possible to have too many tennis skirts and dresses.) Plus, when you play a lot of tennis, you burn through shoes and clothes at a pretty high rate, so it’s a good idea to have backups waiting on the figurative sidelines.
Below, find my 22 picks for the best tennis gifts of 2024, including picks for all skill levels, from casual players to pros.
