Here are the 7 best men's tennis shorts to help get into the swing of things from Nike, adidas, Rhone and more.
Plenty of companies make tennis shorts, but Lululemon built its offerings from the ground up with direct input from modern players like Sock and others who are on the courts every day. “Lululemon has been extremely receptive to my feedback on material and feel of outfits on the court,” he says. “These fabrics absorb moisture so well and still feel lightweight even when drenched with sweat.” Credit the perforations in its ultra-lightweight fabric, which increase surface area for evaporation.<br><br>The 6-inch inseam of the Vented Tennis Short may give some pause, but on-body, they provide greater-than-expected coverage thanks to a built-in compression short liner, which lengthens the fit while remaining visible below the outer short. Sock also loves it for eliminating items on his packing list. “I don’t have to pack tennis shorts and an additional pair of compression shorts to wear underneath each pair,” he adds. “Saving space [and] time packing for long trips is a game-changer.”
Williams openly admits he wouldn’t wear the Unixexy in a competitive match. But all matches aren’t necessarily competitive. The fashion-forward Laurel Canyon made these shorts with recycled polyester sourced from water bottles. “The sustainability is really, really nice,” he says.
For the core-est of the core, Williams loves the Tournament Short 7”. Its built-in compression liner adds both support during a high-intensity match and a warming feeling on chilly mornings. “Honestly, it just feels better,” he says. “Maybe it’s a placebo effect, but it’s that extra sense of security.”
Greyson may be best known in the golf space, but the brand has pushed in plenty of chips to sponsor rising American tennis star J.J. Wolf, who is currently ranked in the top 50 in the world. Another multi-use short appropriate for the gym or trail, its deep pockets hold balls securely between points while shedding sweat on even the hottest days.
