For tennis lovers who want to travel with their gear, or those who plan to hit the courts after a long day at work, finding the right bag can be a challenge. Athletes who take their tennis playing seriously and want to get on the courts even while on vacation often want to travel with their own rackets and strings in order to best optimize their performance. But rackets aren't shaped like the items you’d normally pack for the average business trip or vacation, and they’re sadly not foldable like a sweater. So if you want to take your rackets, you have to find the right tennis bag.

According to Joey Hanf, director of marketing and events at Cliff Drysdale Tennis and Peter Burwash International, you should approach finding the right tennis bag for you by asking yourself a few simple questions. “This really depends on each person's level of play, the purpose and goal of their trip, and the surface they are going to play on," Hanf says. "If you ask yourself those questions before packing, the rest should come pretty naturally.”

So whether you’re a competitive athlete looking for a bag to accommodate a wide range of related equipment or a casual player who just wants to be able to take your favorite racket with you wherever you go, we’ve selected the best tennis bags on the market.

Best Overall

Wilson showman leather tennis bag.

It’s an elegant and functional bag.

At six pounds when empty, this bag is heavy.

I love this bag because the leather looks stunning, but it’s still functional and durable. Made from renowned tennis company, Wilson, this bag is definitely made for matchplay. I appreciate that the bag is long enough to fit rackets in the main compartment, so you can use this to carry more than one — perfect for traveling on your own or with a partner.

The leather handle and detachable shoulder straps make carrying the bag comfortable no matter how much you pack; whether you’re hopping in the car to head to your local court or planning to bring your gear on a plane headed to your favorite sunny destination. The exterior racket cover is also detachable, so you can just rock the bag on its own when you’re not heading to the courts.

The Details: 29.5 x 5.25 x 13.5 inches | 6 pounds | Leather and cotton canvas

Most Stylish

Mark & graham raffia tennis tote.

Mark & Graham

The Raffia screams tennis vacation, the best kind of vacation there is.

The top only snaps closed, so your items are more or less exposed.

If you’re heading for a tennis vacation, and you want a tennis bag that matches your vacation aesthetic, this stylish tote is perfect. The racket pouch is a bit small, it can only fit one racket, but the linen-lined main compartment is ready to hold all of your necessities in its various pockets. But let’s face it: you’re getting this tennis bag for the stylish design that can even be monogrammed. The racket pocket also fits both standard and small sizes, so you could use this bag for your pickleball and racquetball adventures as well.

The Details: 18.75 x 5 x 14.5 inches | Cotton, polypropylene, linen, and vegan leather

Best Splurge

Tumi sport tennis bag.

The bag is expandable, so you can pack for a minimalist day out or a weekend tournament.

The all-black design isn’t the most stylish option.

Whether you’re looking for a daily bag to tote to the courts or you plan to sneak away for some exercise on your next vacation, this hardcore bag is a great choice. It can fit up to 12 rackets when expanded and collapses to be more manageable for daily use. It also features a padded media pocket, key leash, and compact accessory pockets, so you can easily use this as a commuter bag , ready to blow off steam after a day at the office.

When it comes to travel, this tennis bag has an adjustable shoulder strap as well as a trolley sleeve, so you can slip it over your luggage handle for easier transport through the airport. It also features a vented zip pocket that is waterproof, so you can store any sweaty gear in a separate area, keeping your other gear clean and fresh.

The Details: 14 x 29.5 x 8.3 inches | 5.3 pounds | Ballistic nylon

Best Backpack

Babolat tennis bag case backpack.

It’s at once roomy and compact.

There’s no water bottle pocket.

We love this backpack because it is both sturdy and flexible. The lightweight, coated polyester and insulated racket compartment are great for protecting gear, especially when using this bag as a personal item on planes. It’s big enough for two rackets, a laptop, notebooks, and even a small toiletry kit, making it a perfect weekender bag in addition to a daily court bag.

As a bonus: the top part of the bag can extend to cover your entire racket. When there are no rackets packed, you can fold it down, and it looks like a regular backpack.

The Details: 30 x 13 x 8 inches | 2.3 pounds | Polyester

Ame & Lulu Sweet Shot Tote 3.0

The unusual colorway is eye-catching and stylish.

The interior may be too small to store extra gear like tennis shoes or backup clothing.

I’m really into this tote for its unusual, stylish ombré pattern. As one of the world's most stylish sports, looks count for a lot on the tennis court. But there are also plenty of technical details to appreciate here. In general, I’m partial to totes because I find that it’s easiest to get my gear in and out of the large pocket compared to other bags.

The added racket slot for this design helps you keep the main compartment super organized, and is large enough to store two rackets. The zipper closure is great if you want to stuff this into the overhead bin of a plane or carry while commuting to your nearest court. And there are plenty of pockets throughout — including two for water bottles.

The Details: 16 x 16 x 3 inches | 1.6 pounds | Nylon

Best for Organization

Free people caraa tennis duffel bag.

Free People

There are six pockets and storage compartments.

The soft exterior may not be as protective as other models.

This super stylish duffel-style tote can fit two tennis rackets in a dedicated compartment, which makes this a real tennis player’s bag. There are also two separate pockets perfect for storing water bottles or cans of tennis balls. The main section of the bag is large enough to fit everything you may need for a few hours on the court. In fact, there’s even a novelty zip-around pocket where you can stuff at least one ball plus a separate shoe bag.

The Details: Nylon and vegan leather

Best Crossbody

Rejolly tennis crossbody bag.

It’s a straightforward sling bag with space for additional gear.

It can only fit one tennis racket.

If you don’t need to carry much, this lightweight crossbody bag is a great option. In addition to the zippered slot for your racket, the main compartment is large enough to hold a change of clothes, a can of tennis balls, and your personal items. There’s an exterior bottle holder, too, so you can really take advantage of being hands-free.

The Details: 11.8 x 3.9 x 18.1 inches | 1.1 pounds | Polyester

Most Versatile

Tory burch convertible tennis tote.

You can remove the racket slot when you’re not using it.

It’s fairly minimalist without many pockets.

A tennis tote serves such a specific purpose that if you’re not going to play tennis, it seems silly to carry it, but this convertible option from Tory Burch is versatile enough you can use it anywhere. Simply snap the racket pouch off, and use this very roomy bag as a regular travel tote . And when you’re ready to hit the court, that pouch can fit two of your favorite rackets. The main compartment of the bag is spacious enough for a change of clothes, sneakers, grips, tennis balls, and more essential items to ensure a pleasant day on the court.

The Details: 12.5 x 15 x 7.75 inches | Coated canvas, nylon, and faux leather trim

Best Duffel

K-cliffs tennis racket bag.

The ballistic nylon is super durable.

It may feel cumbersome if you pack the bag full.

This good-looking duffel bag is big enough to fit three tennis rackets and it comes with so many different compartments and pockets, you may actually struggle to find things to put in some of them. Of course, there’s a separate slot for shoes to keep everything clean and fresh, but I love the two elastic water bottle pockets in the front. Each can fit up to a 32-ounce bottle or your cans of tennis balls. Plus, thanks to the fun color blocking, you’ll be the most stylish tennis player on the courts.

The Details: 28.5 x 12 x 12 inches | Ballistic nylon

Best for the Gym

Courtlife gamechanger.

The shiny fabric is very striking.

The soft polyester may not be as durable as other options.

I love the striking look of the metallic sheen on this bag — you’re sure to stand out in a crowd. And I like that the separate racket pocket, while big enough for two, doesn’t obviously look like it’s for tennis rackets, so you can easily use this bag for day to day activities and trips to the gym . It comes with a ton of interior and exterior pockets and the ones on the side are perfect for water bottles and tennis ball cans. This will also double as a fantastic carry-on bag for your travels — with or without the tennis gear.

The Details: 22 x 12 x 5 inches | Polyester

Best for Air Travel

Head travel tennis bag.

There are multiple compartments to keep you organized.

It’s not the most stylish tennis bag out there.

This hardcore tennis bag from Head is made for serious players, which is why a lot of competitive athletes use it. While it’s a great size to tote everything you need for a day on the court, do note that this is too large to use as a carry-on on most planes. The good news is, there are a lot of protective details like reinforced edges, so you can check the bag knowing your gear will arrive intact.

The bottom compartment is big enough to fit full-size tennis rackets, and the two smaller, upper compartments can actually be combined to make one large section. The best thing about this though is that it comes with wheels, a rarity in the world of tennis bags.

The Details: 31 x 17 x 16 inches | Polyester

Best Large Capacity

Wilson shift super tour 15 pack.

It can fit up to 15 rackets.

We wish the carrying straps had a bit more padding as this bag can get quite heavy.

For tennis players who can’t imagine traveling without their full inventory of favorite rackets, or those traveling with friends or family members, this 15-pack bag is one of the biggest you can find. There are three compartments specifically designed for rackets, and two of them are thermo-regulated for added protection. There are also additional sections for other tennis equipment, like a dedicated shoe compartment, and, of course, if you’re not planning to pack 15 rackets, you can use the extra space for other gear. You can really fit your whole tennis life in this bag; you just need to figure out how to carry it on your back.

The Details: 29 x 16 x 13 inches | 3.8 pounds | Polyester

Best Budget

Matein tennis bag.

It comes with a lot of design features meant to accommodate your tennis-loving needs.

The front pockets are a bit too small for gear.

At first glance, you may think this backpack isn’t that big, but it’s surprisingly roomy. The stash pocket is big enough for two full-size tennis rackets (with the handles sticking out), but there are plenty of other compartments throughout. There’s a shoe slot, mesh elastic pockets for bottles, and zippered pocket for loose tennis balls — spacious enough for 10. The fabric is water-resistant, too, making this a durable pack sure to protect your gear.

The Details: 15.9 x 7.8 x 20.8 inches | 1.68 pounds | Polyester

Tips for Buying a Tennis Bag

Prioritize protection and durability.

According to Hanf, when determining the durability of a tennis bag, look at the zippers and straps very closely. “They tend to break or rip the fastest, so that's where you want to see quality materials used,” he says. “Check the ends of the carrying straps to see how secure they are. Every strap will perform well with nothing inside so make sure you test the bag with lots of weight first.”

Think about organization

The best tennis bag should be designed with optimal organization in mind: think lots of pockets. This is especially important if you’re using your tennis bag for more than just essential gear. You’ll want to be able to separate your equipment from clothes, and you definitely want to be able to stuff your sneakers into its own compartment if that’s available.

Know your racket size

An adult tennis racket is usually 27 inches long. From there, you get more variety so make sure you’re familiar with the size and dimension of your preferred racket when selecting a tennis bag. Most are designed to fit standard rackets, but it’s always good to be sure.

There are so many options out there, so start by thinking about the amount of tennis equipment you want to pack. “The biggest factor should be desired size,” Hanf advises. “If you like your existing roller suitcase for all non-tennis gear, then I think a good tennis backpack is enough. If you want something bigger, then you can start considering the racket bags or duffle options.” From there, you can filter through aesthetics and budget, and still be left with plenty to choose from.

This really depends on a number of factors, primarily size of your bag. The standard tennis racket is 27 inches long and carry-on bags are usually up to 22 inches long. A bag long enough to fully cover a tennis racket will technically not meet carry-on size requirements. But some airlines will let you board with a reasonably-sized tennis bag. And if you are trying to use a tennis bag as carry-on, pick one shaped like typical luggage. “The best way for a tennis bag to be used as a carry-on is for it to be a square or tube-shaped duffle bag,” Hanf says. “These fit rackets comfortably while still fitting in overhead bins.”

Yes, a tennis racket can go through TSA both as a carry-on and check-in item as long as the items you’ve packed also meet TSA requirements, so be sure your water bottles are empty and any afterplay toiletries are appropriate sizes.

“I always start by packing tennis shoes first and then my rackets, as this will dictate how much space I have for everything else,” Hanf says. “If you are using the bag as a carry-on like I do, I recommend packing socks and underwear in a side pocket or separate compartment. Final tip would be to not put your rackets in a lay flat position at the very top or bottom of your bag as it will be uncomfortable to carry, and there's a slight risk of damage.”

A tennis bag not only holds your rackets and everyday tennis gear, it is also an accessory these days. People want a practical bag to hold equipment but they also want something that looks and feels good. 

This comprehensive guide to the best tennis bags offers a detailed review of the top 12 bags on the market for players at every level. With our help, you can find the perfect tennis bag for you and your racket based on your skill level.

The following factors were taken into consideration when we analyzed and ranked the bags on our list: Price, Size, Durability, Popularity, Design, Comfortability, and Functionality.

The purpose of this article is to help you determine the best tennis bag for you by teaching you everything you should consider when buying one.

Introduction to Tennis Bags

Tennis bags are essential accessories for players to carry their rackets , balls , shoes , towels, and other personal belongings to and from the court. These bags are specially designed to accommodate all the necessary equipment and keep them organized and protected during transport. They come in various sizes, styles, and designs to cater to the diverse needs of tennis players.

Best Tennis Bags – Our Review

So without further ado, let’s look at some of the best bags on the market today. 

Babolat Pure Series 12 Pack Tennis Bag

In our list of the most versatile and popular tennis bags, the Babolat Pure Series 12 pack tennis bag tops the list.

The Pure Series offers a variety of attractive designs to complement the most popular Babolat tennis racquets, such as the Pure Drive, Pure Strike, and Pure Aero. You’ll find all of the features you need in this bag for tennis players of all levels. The racquet compartments feature thermal protection that helps maintain string tension as well as a great look.

There is also plenty of storage space in this unit. Up to 15 racquets can be stored in the main compartment. Small items such as strings, tennis overgrips, phones, keys, and other accessories can be stored in the accessory pockets. A ventilated shoe pocket is also included. This best tennis backpack is designed to be worn comfortably on your shoulders with adjustable shoulder straps.

We chose the Pure Series Bag because of these attributes, as well as its durability and brand popularity. There are three color options for this bag, black, blue, and yellow.

Buy on Amazon

Babolat Pure Drive RH x12 Bag

Babolat Pure Drive RH x12 bags are a perfect choice if you are looking for premium quality. There are many great things about this tennis bag; it is functional, versatile, spacious, and looks great. 

Two compartments of this Babolat bag have isothermal protection to prevent string tension loss. It can hold up to 15 tennis rackets . In addition, it comes with a compartment for shoes that is ventilated. Overgrips, towels, phones, keys, and other tennis gear can be stored in the accessories pocket. 

A super comfortable backpack strap lets you wear the bag as a bag or as a backpack. Bright blue and dark blue are the only colors available.

Athletico 3-Racket Bag

Then you have come to the right place if you’re looking for a wonderful tennis bag at a very affordable price. A surprising similarity can be found between the Athletico 3-Racket bag and the Wilson Advantage Tennis Bag, but the price of the Athletico bag is much more affordable. 

Featuring padded compartments for three rackets and a pocket for belongings, this bag offers plenty of storage. With the extra outer pocket, you can conveniently store your keys, cell phone, and tennis balls whenever you need them.

As well as an over-the-shoulder strap, the Athletico bag is equipped with a tote handle so it can be easily carried. It is lightweight and comfortable to wear. Polyester fabric is used in the creation of this bag, which is durable and built to last for a long time. Should you return the bag for whatever reason, the brand also offers full compensation.

Athletico Sling Bag

It might be a good idea for high schoolers to opt out of a bag that they can use on and off the court as well as in their everyday lives. It stands out in this particular category as the Athletico Sling Bag. Three colors are available in this great bag. With some premium features, this tennis bag is high-quality.

It has lots of internal pockets to keep things neat and organized. It can hold up to two tennis rackets . You can store your essentials in the anti-theft pocket of the bag. Carrying it around is comfortable and lightweight. 

Vessel Baseline Tennis Racquet Bag

Vessel is a luxury bag brand that originally made golf bags, but is now expanding into tennis bags. Club players who play with two to four racquets and are looking for a quality bag will find their racquet bag to be perfect.

A total of six tennis racquets can be stored in two large compartments of the bag. Tennis strings are kept protected in warm and cold weather by the smaller, insulated case. A total of four exterior side pockets are provided on the bag. Two are on either side of the bag. There are well-designed pouches for the organization in these outside pockets. No matter what shoe size you wear, there is plenty of room in the ventilated shoe compartment.

With nylon and synthetic leather shoulder straps, this bag offers unsurpassed comfort. If you prefer to carry the bag by one of the two handles, you can easily remove these as well.

You won’t find a better luxury tennis bag than this one. A top new bag brand on the market, it features high-quality materials and a modern design.

Babolat Pure Drive 3-Pack Backpack

I also use a Babolat Pure Drive 3 Pack backpack, which is similar to the Pure Strike backpack, but it has a slightly different design and the colors match the Pure Drive 2020 racquet.

I find this bag to be highly practical, which is why it is my top pick. Walking or cycling to the courts is your preferred method of transportation. Bags of this style are perfect for any occasion.

Additionally, it holds plenty of gear and protects the Babolat isothermal stuff so that it won’t get damaged by the weather.

ADV Jet Pack Tennis Bag

For adult club-level players, ADV Tennis created a fantastic, innovative bag that doesn’t make tennis racquets.

There are two compartments on each side and four in the middle, allowing the bag to carry up to eight racquets. There is an insulated, built-in cooler in this bag and a hidden pocket under the bag for keeping wet clothes separate. Two hooks are included in this bag, so you can hang it on the fence so it stays off the court’s hot surface.

Among the items that can be stored in the center compartment are tennis balls, sunglasses for tennis, food, and other items. Pockets on the outside are great for storing small items like grips, keys, phones, and other accessories. Tennis players who don’t like to wear shoes off the court will appreciate the ventilated shoe storage.

Tecnifibre Tour Endurance 15 Pack Tennis Bag

Tecnifibre Tour Endurance 15 Pack Bag, used by Daniil Medvedev, is a perfect combination of size and style.

Players who travel for long tournaments will appreciate this bag’s well-designed interior pockets. Tennis shoes and clothes can both be stored in two ventilated pockets at either end of the bag. A waterproof accessory pocket and a zippered pocket line the sides of the bag, offering small items protection.

Moreover, the Tarpaulin material used in the bag ensures that your racquets remain protected from extreme temperatures. On the ends of the bag are two carrying handles, as well as adjustable, padded shoulder straps.

A tennis player could not ask for more from this new tennis bag from Tecnifibre. 

Adidas Tour Tennis 12 Racquet Bag

We’ve selected the Adidas Tour Tennis 12 Racquet Bag for its functionality and affordability.

Tennis strings are protected from extreme weather conditions by two insulated pockets in this bag. Top pockets provide easy access for storing dirty equipment or shoes.

Those who are looking for equipment or racquets with a different brand can consider this bag. Nevertheless, Adidas makes some of the best tennis shorts and shoes.

Considering it offers many of the same features as a high-end bag, this bag makes a great choice for intermediate players. 

Wilson Federer DNA Tennis Backpack

An iconic tennis player’s aesthetic is reflected in the sharp, smooth exterior and matte colors of the Federer DNA Backpack.

Tennis backpacks of this quality and style are unmatched by other top-line backpacks. You can store up to two racquets in the racquet compartment, and your clothes, balls, and strings can be stored in two main compartments. It features a felt-lined pocket that’s perfect for holding phones, wallets, or keys. You can also keep your sports drinks or food cold in another larger thermal-lined pocket.

As well as being great for shortest tennis players of all levels, this best tennis backpack is a great bag for school or work as well. For extra comfort, the straps and back are padded.

Head Gravity Sport Bag – Best Duffel Style Tennis Bag

Tennis players who travel can maximize their capacity with the Head Gravity Sport Bag’s duffel design.

Up to six racquets can be stored in this bag, along with clothes and tournament gear. A small vent is located on the outside of the shoe compartment. A zipper pocket on the side of the case is suitable for storing a string, grips, and personal items. A padded divider helps protect your racquets inside the bag.

It can be easily picked up thanks to the grab handle on the end. Its comfortable adjustable shoulder straps, however, are my favorite feature. I usually carry two racquets in this bag, as well as clothing and shoes for on-court use.

Geau Sport Stance Tote Bag

Geau’s Stance Tote Bag is one of the best tennis totes bag on the market, offering great specifications without sacrificing style.

A main storage compartment accommodates large items, as well as 2 racquets. Several smaller pockets for valuables are also included, as well as a water bottle pocket on the exterior. Your bag will also stay clean and off the ground thanks to the rear hanging hook and metal feet. As a result, the bag won’t slouch or fall over due to its sturdy construction and shape.

In addition to being a great bag for ladies seeking a bag with a bit of style, it’s also great for any player. 

Features of Best Tennis Backpack

The features that you should know before buying a tennis bag are the same regardless of the bag’s shape or size.

You should choose a bag with a durable exterior, and you can choose different materials. A Tecnifibre bag, for example, is waterproof, but other bags are made of polyester or other fabrics.

There are different interior options available for the bag. In some bags, the compartment is simply huge without any organization. There are also some that come with dividers, so you can easily separate your tennis gear from your clothes.

Racket Storage

One of the main features of a good tennis bag is the ability to store tennis racquets. There are bags that carry two racquets, and there are bags that carry up to 15 racquets

Shoe Storage

Competing tennis players need proper shoe storage, but not everyone does. Shoes are usually stored at the bottom of bags or at the end, and they usually have ventilation systems.

Tennis bags will most often end up on the court, and we all know how abrasive a hard court can be. If you’re taking it on an away trip, you’ll have to throw it into the trunk or stack it in the back of the van or bus.

For that reason, you’ll want to choose a bag that can withstand everyday wear and tear.

Material and zippers are two areas to watch out for. In addition to thicker and more durable fabrics, higher-priced tennis bags will also feature heavy-duty zippers that can endure frequent use.

No matter how good the materials are, if the zipper breaks or fails to work, you won’t be able to use it, so pay extra attention to these details and read reviews to find out if others have had similar problems.

As you carry gear with you, comfort may play a greater or lesser role depending on the bag’s size, type, and amount.

You can wear tennis racquet bags as backpacks or single shoulder straps as shoulder bags, for example. It is important to ensure that the straps on this kind of bag are sufficiently padded to ensure comfort when it is full of gear.

As with tennis backpack straps, make sure there’s enough padding on the back, so you don’t feel uncomfortable carrying your racquets.

Accessory & Gear Pockets

Tennis balls , water bottles, tennis shoes , sunglasses , tennis shorts , and personal valuables can be stored in accessory & gear pockets. If you need enough space and secure zippers, you need something that has both. The pockets on some bags are located on the outside of the bag, while others are positioned on the inside wall to provide additional protection.

The Different Types of Tennis Bags

Tennis bags can be classified into five types. In some models, tennis is the only sport they can be used for, but in others, other sports or even travel may be possible. Here’s what we found.

Pro Racket Bags

On the Pro Tour, these bags come in configurations that hold anything from nine to fifteen racquets. To protect racquets from the elements, the outermost compartments are thermally insulated.

There are also shoe tunnels, waterproof pouches for clothes/towels, and pockets for various accessories.

A player who plays tournaments and carries a lot of equipment is the only type of player who should consider this bag.

For most players, this will be overkill, and you’ll end up paying for storage space that you won’t ever use.

Packing to fill, instead of packing what they need, leads to all kinds of random equipment that will never be used.

Full-time tennis coaches carrying around racquets, training aids, food, and more can benefit from a large pro-style bag.

Smaller Racket Bags

Alongside the racquet bag widely seen on the professional tour is the scaled-down version that holds either 3 or  6 racquets.

Typical club players will find this bag style ideal for their racquets, shoes, clothes, and other equipment.

These bags are not so easy to carry on foot, which is their downside. There are usually no backpack-like straps on these bags so you must carry them over your shoulder or over the carry handle, unlike larger racquet bags.

Parking is free at the court parking lot, and you can walk 100m to the court. But what about biking or walking? It is not a good idea to use this style of bag.

There are now a variety of tennis bags available in traditional backpack style from most mainstream tennis brands. The handles are usually left out of the top of most racquet cases. There are some cool designs by Babolat that cover the entire racquet.

A racquet such as the Babolat Evo 3 x 3 pictured above can be undone to cover the racquet’s entire length.

I think their practicality makes them a better buy than the larger, more expensive bags, even if they lack some bells and whistles. In most cases, the shoe bag is removable, even though there is no dedicated shoe tunnel.

I prefer this style of the bag since I consider it to be the most practical. In order to get to the courts by bike or on foot, a backpack is the best choice.

Duffel Tennis Bags

Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic often carry a duffel bag in addition to their main racquet bag when on the court.

There are larger sizes of tennis bags available than the ones used by professional players to store drinks and clothes.

An all-purpose tennis duffel bag is best suited to multidisciplinary sportsmen and women.

Duffel-style tennis bags work well for those who prefer one large compartment where everything is easily visible.

When you open up duffel bags, you often discover well-thought-out designs that look less impressive from the outside. Since they are more practical for accessing your gear than the traditional racquet shape bag, I prefer them.

Lastly, there is the Tote bag. Many of the big tennis brands carry at least one of these styles, which are more fashion-focused than anything else.

In my opinion, a tennis tote bag is not something I would purchase as I have a huge amount of equipment, but it can hold quite a lot of gear and be used frequently. It wouldn’t seem out of place to take a laptop or a travel bag into a cafe with the Wilson Tote bag pictured below.

A lightweight racquet bag that can be carried around by people who have less equipment, less space and prefer the look and feel of tote bags.

How to Choose the Best Tennis Bag?

Let’s take a look at a few factors to consider when choosing a tennis bag now that you know some of the essential features to look for.

You may not need all of them, but if you can find one or two that speak to you, you’ll be on your way to selecting the perfect bag.

If you’re interested in purchasing a tennis bag, consider your budget first, since prices range from under $50 to a few hundred dollars.

You can narrow your options quite a bit by simply deciding how much you’re willing to spend since each type of tennis bag I’ve discussed comes in a variety of price points.

In order to narrow your choices, consider the following price ranges:

• $100 – $150

It is not uncommon for tennis bags to cost under $150, but there are a few premium bags, such as Vessel’s Baseline Racquet Bag, that cost just below $300.

Additionally, there are numerous tennis totes from designer brands that cost a few hundred dollars, but these are more of a fashion statement than a functional accessory.

Portability

In addition, consider how portable you want your tennis bag to be when choosing one. According to their sizes, they are rough as follows:

A tennis racquet bag or duffle bag is the least portable item for everyday use. As a result, they tend to be heavier because they have the most storage capacity.

It is for this reason that many players will opt for a backpack or tote instead of a racquet bag, since they are easier to carry and more discreet when traveling.

In addition to being easy to handle, backpacks make great companions for biking to the local courts if you’re buying for children or teenagers.

The smallest bag players can reasonably use to store their essential gear is generally my recommendation. You should take inventory of what you usually bring to the court and ensure that you can fit it comfortably.

You don’t want to play Tetris every time you fill your bag, so make sure you have enough space. Be careful not to buy a bag that’s too big so you’re constantly stuffing it with things. It’s all about finding the right balance.

Tennis players often follow the footsteps of their favorite pro or prefer their gear to match by buying the same brand bag as their racquet.

Due to the limited selection of bags offered by each brand, you’ll have narrowed your options significantly.

A Wilson bag and Babolat racquets are absolutely fine. Despite the mismatch, there may be a few tennis snobs who take notice.

Gear has always been important to me as a player. Since I use Babolat racket, I probably would buy a Babolat bag, 

There have, however, been a few new brands entering the market with subtle branding in the past few years. Unlike these companies, these ones do not manufacture rackets, so there are more options available to players these days.

Level & Frequency of Play

The demands you place on your bag will be greater if you play a lot of tennis and compete, so a tennis racquet bag is a way to go.

It’s unlikely that a tennis backpack or tote will hold all the tennis racquets and equipment you need for a match.

Alternatively, if you play casually, for fun, or for exercise only, then a tennis racquet bag won’t make sense as you won’t have enough gear to justify the added size.

It may be better to use a backpack or tote in such a case.

When it comes to best tennis bags, the best option is the one you enjoy using, so if you have an affinity towards a specific type, regardless of how practical it is, then that’s likely a great choice for you.

Despite not needing the extra space or not needing them, I started using racquet bags when I was a child because I thought they looked cool. The bags worked well for me since I used them religiously.

Popular Tennis Bag Brands

There are a number of different brands to consider when searching for the perfect tennis bag.

You may enjoy reading Best Tennis Racket Brands

The following will give you an idea of what is available from some of the most popular companies as well as the types of bags they offer.

Traditional Tennis Brands

If you’re looking for the broadest selection of tennis shoes, these brands are great places to start.

Non-Racket Athletic Brands

These brands primarily focus on shoes and apparel, but they also provide tennis players with a selection of general-purpose bags.

Specialty Brands

If you are looking for a new bag, you may want to consider the following companies. These companies focus mostly on backpacks and totes, and some of their products are among the most innovative.

The Tennis Bag, I’m Using

I’m using the Babolat Pure Strike Backpack at the moment. Tennis rackets can be accommodated in the elongated backpack.

You can see in the image above that the compartment folds over on itself when not holding rackets.

I believe the Babolat Pure Strike Backpack is the ideal bag for recreational tennis players. This is the perfect amount of space and it looks great. 

The insulated section of this best tennis backpack holds two rackets. Despite Babolat’s advertising, I find it to be a little tight for three rackets.

My main compartment contains tennis shoes, a drink bottle, a tripod, and two cans of balls. The small compartment on the front of my bag stores my phone, wallet, keys, and a spare overgrip, vibration dampener, plasters, and tape. Besides the laptop compartment, there is a pocket where a towel can be stored and folded.

Furthermore, the zip can also be used as a bottle opener when your switch ends!

Maintenance and Care Tips for Tennis Bags

To ensure the longevity of your tennis bag, follow these maintenance and care tips:

Cleaning and Washing Instructions

Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning your tennis bag. Most bags can be spot cleaned with mild detergent and warm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach that may damage the material.

Storage Recommendations

When not in use, store your tennis bag in a cool and dry place. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as this can cause fading or deformation of the material. Keep it away from sharp objects that may puncture or tear the bag.

Regular Inspections and Repairs

Inspect your tennis bag regularly for any signs of damage or wear. Check the zippers, straps, and seams to ensure they are in good condition. If you notice any issues, repair them promptly to prevent further damage.

Heading to a tournament or a weekend tennis getaway, the right tennis travel bag is crucial to make your travel enjoyable and winning. Choosing the right tennis bag depends on a few factors – why are you traveling, how many racquets you need to transport, the size of the racquets, and whether you want to bring along your tennis clothes, shoes, and gear or store them in separate luggage.

Beyond offering players a convenient way to carry their racquets, tennis bags often function as lifelines, containing the equipment, gear, and fuel necessary to hit the court, have fun, and win matches.

Of course, what works for a competitive athlete won’t necessarily be ideal for the weekend warrior or recreational player, so it pays to research to discover a bag that meets your specific needs.

To help, I created this guide to share everything you need to track down a bag you’ll love, including a breakdown of the different types of bags, an overview of popular brands, and my picks and reviews of the best tennis bags for 2024 in every category to inform your research and decision.

The Bags I’m Using Now

Having tested what feels like an endless number, it’s one of the questions I frequently get from my readers. However, beyond that, it’s helpful to showcase that the best bag is the one that meets your specific needs and that you feel good about using.

When I want to bring extra gear, I grab the Vessel Baseline racquet bag , while the Geau Sport Axiom Backpack 2.0 is my go-to pick for trimming things down to the essentials for a more casual hit. Let me explain.

First, I’m a bag nerd, so I appreciate quality design and craftsmanship, and both of these bags meet those criteria in spades.

Although the Baseline Racquet Bag is one of the pricier on my list, it checks all the right boxes for me and has a few extra bells and whistles you won’t find in other bags.

Here are some of its strong points:

• Very stylish
• Plenty of storage
• Excellent organization
• Strong durability
• Extra comfortable

Beyond its functionality, I’m a big fan that it doesn’t have overt branding. Instead, it’s super subtle. Although entirely unnecessary, I like my gear to match, so regardless of the racquet I bring to the court or the clothes and shoes I choose to wear, it fits right in and looks great.

It’s worth noting that this bag wouldn’t have been a good fit when I was competing in tennis, primarily because it wouldn’t have been nearly large enough to fit all the gear I’d travel with regularly. It also wasn’t something I could have reasonably afforded at its price.

Although I still carry more than the average person in my tennis bag, I’ve trimmed things down a bit, so I don’t need as much space. Notably, I only carry a few racquets when competing these days. I used to have four in my bag, and now I take two.

It’s the perfect racquet bag for me, but like most players, my needs change periodically, which is why I love Geau Sport’s Axiom backpack as a lightweight option without the added bulk.

Geau’s backpack is equally impressive, more affordable, and offers a tactical style, a unique contrast to Vessels. Here’s why I dig it:

• Lightweight yet durable materials
• Creative organizational storage
• Thoughtful one-of-a-kind features
• Impressive capacity for a backpack
• Comfortable padding and straps

Like Vessel’s, I also appreciate Geau’s subdued branding, which isn’t too in your face, letting the bag do the talking.

Another considerable benefit worth underscoring is that I use this bag for more than tennis. It easily and safely stores my 16″ MacBook Pro when I’m working remotely, and it’s one of the first bags I reach for when hitting the gym or traveling, as it’s the perfect size for a carry-on.

Ultimately, that means you’re getting more bang for your buck because although it’s a tennis-first purchase, its use isn’t narrow. As much as I love racquet bags, they’re awkward for everyday use.

As you can see, I have my priorities regarding tennis bags, which may or may not look like yours, so I’d encourage you to prioritize what’s essential to you when selecting your next bag. Luckily, there are many options to consider, so I’m confident you’ll find one you love.

Each bag serves a specific purpose for different players, and there’s no right or wrong answer to which kind any given player should be using – it’s a personal preference.

However, specific bags cater to distinct player needs and preferences with features they’d appreciate.

Although I could technically classify all four bag types as “racquet” bags, this category offers fully enclosed space for holding between 3 and 15 racquets, depending on the size.

Of course, more often than not, players will buy a racquet bag to hold 3-6 racquets and then use the remaining space as storage for extra gear.

The easiest way to spot a tennis racquet bag is by its design, which mirrors the shape of a tennis racquet. They’re larger and often rounded toward the front and tapered toward the back, so racquets fit snugly in place without much room to move unnecessarily.

Tennis racquet bags cater to competitive players who own multiple tennis racquets and need a convenient way to store them, along with a slew of other accessories and gear they bring to a tennis match.

Backpacks, wildly popular for everyday use, are also available with unique tennis-specific features, such as carrying racquets and other smaller essentials like shoes, water, tennis balls , and a towel.

These bags offer less storage space than racquet bags but travel well and are super portable.

Typically, tennis backpacks will store one or two tennis racquets in a dedicated compartment and offer a more substantial main section for storing additional equipment.

Tennis backpacks are ideal for teens and adults learning to play tennis , recreational players who hit the court periodically, or coaches looking for something minimal to store and bring their equipment for practice or a lesson.

They also work well for players who want a smaller bag or those who don’t have enough racquets and gear to warrant the size of a racquet bag.

If you’re a competitive tennis player who travels frequently, a duffel bag is ideal for storing a few days worth of gear. However, keep in mind that not all of them will be large enough to stash your racquets.

Players often pair their duffel bag with a racquet bag they’ll bring to the court, but you might find some of the most competitive and tour-level players bringing both to the court for extra storage.

These bags offer storage and organization ideal for tennis players and their equipment, but they can work well for any travel a few days in length, such as a weekend getaway.

If you play tennis and want to show off your affinity for the sport, a tennis duffel bag is an excellent option, as they usually offer prominent labels or branding. Of course, it’s worth noting that you’ll need to carry the bag as most don’t come with wheels.

A popular tennis bag for women , tennis totes are a perfect option for a smaller yet convenient bag to bring to the court. My favorites are large enough to store a racquet or two while having enough room to carry other small essentials, such as a towel, balls, or an extra pair of shoes.

While most of the other tennis bags tend to feature sporty designs, you’ll find stylish bags in the tote category with a wide variety of designs, colors, and patterns that suit various player preferences.

They feature handles to carry, which are large enough to throw over your shoulder, depending on how much you bring, and they make an excellent alternative to tennis backpacks for a more stylish look.

There are hundreds of tennis bags, so narrowing down the best for your needs can be overwhelming.

To help simplify the selection process, here are a few features that are the most important to consider when deciding.

Racquet Storage & Compartments

Some bags allow you to store more racquets than others. Although backpacks and totes are limited to one or two, tennis racquet bags can store up to 15, depending on the model. Here are the most common sizes:

As you consider which bag is right for you, remember that you’ll likely need extra storage for equipment. How many racquets and extra gear you would like to bring will help determine the best size.

Most competitive players will use either a 9 or 12 racquet bag, which, for the most part, is plenty of room for a day at the courts.

Some of the best tennis bags offer thermally insulated racquet compartments to protect your strings’ tension by maintaining a more consistent temperature and limiting exposure to humidity.

Large temperature swings or humidity changes can impact your strings’ tension and lifespan, which will likely be more or less important, depending on your level of competition.

Gear & Accessory Storage

Competitive tennis players often bring a lot of gear to the court in preparation for various unexpected scenarios that might prevent them from performing at their best during a match.

To some, overgrips , an extra pair of shoes, a change of clothes, multiple towels, a hat, sweatbands, and more might feel overkill. However, in some cases, this extra equipment can save a match.

Different bags offer varying storage capacities for your match essentials, with specialized compartments for organization, so keep that in mind as you compare one bag to the next.

I tend to air on the side of more storage to bring everything I need to handle whatever a match throws at me.

Shoe Storage

After a long tennis match, you’ll want to swap out your tennis shoes for something more comfortable. Plus, it’s best to avoid putting extra wear on your shoes if you can avoid it.

You’ll probably change your shoes at home if you play at the public courts down the street from your house.

However, if you’re traveling to tennis matches in high school or college or playing tournaments, you’ll likely want to swap your tennis shoes before leaving the court. It’s also a great idea if you’re playing indoors and heading home while it’s raining or snowing.

Although you could toss your shoes in any tennis bag I’ve covered, tennis racquet bags and backpacks frequently offer dedicated shoe compartments with ventilation, perfect for the task.

Let’s be honest. Your tennis shoes after a match aren’t delightful, so this way, you don’t need to carry them around separately, but you can also prevent them from getting other equipment dirty or smelly.

Helpful Tip If you buy a bag that doesn’t offer a dedicated shoe compartment, you can always buy an inexpensive shoe or laundry bag to keep your used gear separate from the rest.

I grew up playing tennis in New England, where it rains often, and the winter throws just about everything at you. When I leave the courts, I like to swap out my tennis shoes for something more appropriate for the weather, which helps keep my shoes looking fresh.

More often than not, your tennis bag will end up on the court, and for many of us, that means the abrasive surface of a hard court or the messy dirt of a clay court. Furthermore, it will take a beating as you travel, whether tossing it in the trunk or stacking it in the back of the van or bus for an away match.

With that in mind, you’ll want to look for a durable bag to withstand the wear and tear from everyday use.

Two areas to keep an eye on are the material and zippers. Higher-priced tennis bags will tend to feature thicker and more durable fabrics and reliable heavy-duty zippers that hold up to frequent use.

If a zipper breaks or stops working, it doesn’t matter how good the materials are, so pay close attention to these and always read reviews to see if other players have had issues.

Helpful Tip Keep an eye out for warranties that cover materials and workmanship, protecting you from unexpected product flaws, i.e., sewing that comes undone, a broken zipper, etc. Although uncommon, a few bag companies offer warranties, including Geau , Vessel , and Cancha .

Depending on the size, type of bag, and the amount of gear you’re carrying with you, comfort may be a worthy consideration.

For example, tennis racquet bags typically feature a single shoulder strap or two straps you can wear as a backpack. If you opt for this style bag, make sure the padding on the straps that go over your shoulder(s) is sufficient to ensure comfort when it’s full of gear.

The same holds for tennis backpack straps, but you should also ensure ample padding for your back so the frame of your racquets doesn’t cause any discomfort. As a bonus, backpacks offering sternum straps will offer added comfort when your bag is full.

Now that you know some of the essential features to watch when searching for a tennis bag, let’s look at a few factors you may want to consider to help narrow down your options.

Although these may not all apply to you, if you find one or two that are important, you’ll significantly narrow your options, making the selection process much more manageable.

A natural place to start is your budget. The price of tennis bags can vary from under $50 to a few hundred dollars, depending on the style and brand you’re interested in purchasing.

Luckily, each type of tennis bag I’ve discussed is available at a wide range of price points, so you should be able to narrow your options by deciding how much you’re willing to spend.

Here are some price ranges to consider:

• $50 – $100
• $100 – $150

The vast majority of tennis bags will cost less than $150, but a handful of premium tennis bags, such as the Baseline Racquet Bag from Vessel, have a price just below $300.

Beyond that, you’ll find plenty of tennis totes from designer brands that will cost a few hundred dollars, but those are fashion statements as much as they are functional, so they carry a higher price tag.

Portability

Another great way to select a tennis bag is by considering how portable you’d like it to be. Roughly speaking, here’s how they stack up in size:

Tennis racquet bags and duffels are the least portable for everyday use and tend to get heavier, but they offer the most storage capacity.

For that reason, many players find racquet bags overkill and opt for a backpack or tote, which travels easily and is discreet.

If you’re buying for kids or a young teenager, backpacks are some of the best options because they’re the easiest to handle and make great companions for riding bikes to the local courts.

Generally, players should buy the smallest bag they can reasonably use to store their essential gear. An excellent place to start is to take inventory of what you usually bring to the court and ensure you can comfortably fit those items.

Give yourself enough room so you don’t have to play Tetris whenever you fill your bag. On the other hand, don’t buy a bag that’s so big that you’re looking for things to fill the space. It’s a balance.

More often than not, tennis players are inclined to buy the same brand bag as the racquet because it’s what their favorite pro uses or they like their gear to match.

If that’s you, you’ll have narrowed your options significantly because each brand offers a limited selection of bags.

Of course, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with owning a Wilson bag and playing with Babolat racquets.

I’ve always been the kind of player who likes their gear to match. In the past, if I were using Babolat racquets, I’d likely buy a Babolat bag, and the selection could have been better, which was frustrating.

However, a few new brands have entered the market with subtle branding in the past few years. These companies don’t manufacture racquets, giving me extra options.

As a bonus, most of them, like Geau , Vessel , and Cancha , focus exclusively on bags, resulting in more robust offerings.

Level & Frequency of Play

If you play a lot of tennis and compete, the demands you put on your bag will likely be more significant, and a tennis racquet bag is ideal.

You’ll have extra tennis racquets and equipment you like to carry with you in preparation for anything a match throws at you, so it’s unlikely that a tennis backpack or tote will have enough room.

On the other hand, if you play casually, for fun, or to get some exercise, a tennis racquet bag will likely be overkill because you won’t have enough gear to warrant the extra size. In that case, a backpack or tote might be a better option.

The best tennis bag is the one you enjoy using, so if you have an affinity toward a specific type, independent of whether it’s practical, that’s likely a terrific option for you to consider.

When I was younger, I started using racquet bags because I thought they looked cool before I needed extra space or was necessary. However, I used the bags religiously, so it worked out great.

As you search for the perfect tennis bag, you might be curious about the brands available for consideration.

In this section, I’ve rounded up some of the most popular and the types of bags they currently offer.

Specialty Brands

The following companies are some of my favorites for tennis bags. From racquet bags to backpacks, duffels, and totes, you’ll find a bit of everything, with some of the most innovative offerings in the space.

Traditional Tennis Brands

Each of the following brands has a significant presence in the tennis world, and they’re a great place to look for traditional bags.

Non-Racquet Athletic Brands

The following brands emphasize shoes and apparel, yet they offer a selection of general-purpose bags that work well for tennis players.

As the most popular style of tennis bag for competitive tennis players, virtually all major tennis racquet brands offer them.

Although some larger companies like Wilson offer inexpensive and premium tennis bags, most sell at least one bag that I’d consider high-end with roughly the same feature set.

As a result, the design or style distinguishes many of the best racquet bags, which ultimately boils down to personal preference.

Vessel Baseline

The Baseline racquet bag from Vessel takes things to a whole new level with premium features that are a cut above the rest.

Headquartered in Carlsbad, CA, Vessel introduced their first line of tennis bags in 2019, which I shared with the TennisCompanion community in October when they were first released.

Although relative newcomers to the tennis world, they’re no strangers to the bag game, designing golf bags, luggage, backpacks, and more, so when I heard they had a tennis bag in the works, I couldn’t wait to check out what they had planned, and it doesn’t disappoint.

As far as features go, the bag checks all essential boxes. There’s plenty of storage for racquets, with one thermal insulated compartment to help keep your strings fresh and a secondary main compartment for extra racquets and gear.

There’s also a ventilated shoe compartment, four exterior pockets for all your small accessories, one thermal-lined, and even a velour-lined pocket for keeping delicate items like sunglasses well protected.

Its materials are durable, the zippers offer reliable waterproof protection, and comfort wasn’t an afterthought with neoprene-lined shoulder straps and a compression-molded back panel.

It comes in two colors, black and grey tech, and for perhaps my favorite part – it’s racquet brand agnostic, so if you’re a Wilson user today and a Babolat user tomorrow, there’s no need to switch up your bag.

Of course, the bag isn’t perfect, but it’s the closest I’ve found to date.

Why I Love It

• Premium materials
• Thermally linked racquet and snack compartments
• Dedicated shoe compartment with ventilation
• Lots of small pockets or accessories
• High-quality zippers
• Super comfortable removable straps and back panel
• Velour-lined pocket for valuables

Areas for Improvement

• It would be nice if the bag were slightly wider for extra storage
• I’d prefer both main compartments to offer thermal-protection
• A hard-case section for added protection of delicate essentials like sunglasses would be awesome

Geau Sport Axiom 2.0

One of the best bag makers in the game, Geau Sport offers a top-of-the-line racquet bag jam-packed with technical features that helps redefine what tennis players should expect for their money.

For starters, their racquet bag comes in two sizes: the standard nine-pack and the larger twelve-pack, each referring to the maximum number of racquets you can store in the bag. Most recreational and competitive players will do well with the standard size, which is spacious. However, I appreciate the option Geau provides with an impressive twelve-pack perfect for players requiring maximum carrying capacity.

Each offers two roomy racquet compartments, one on either side of the bag. The nine-pack holds up to two extended-length oversized racquets, while the twelve-pack pushes the threshold to three on each side. Keep in mind that for optimal fit, you’ll need to cross your racquet handles in these compartments, as Geau recommends. That’s because racquet butt caps are the widest point, taking up extra space.

The main center storage compartment has plenty of room to store all the essentials, including extra clothing, balls, a water bottle, and even bulkier items like a muscle massage gun if needed.

Hands down, my favorite part about the main compartment is the two adjustable internal dividers, which give the bag rigidity while offering better organization, which is missing in most racquet bags.

The floating velcro pockets and compression packing cubes (sold separately) are thoughtful additions for organizational geeks like me.

At the top of the bag, you’ll find a ventilated pocket for stashing your shoes or a wet towel and clothing that’s also leakproof to protect items on the bag’s inside. On the plus side, it’s a big pocket, so you won’t struggle to squeeze your shoes in. The only downside is that using this compartment eats into your main compartment’s storage.

All bags with these compartments work the same way, but if you plan on stashing a fair amount of gear in this pocket, you’ll want to consider that, which is a case for bumping up to the roomier twelve-pack.

Outside these bags, you’ll find three zip pockets. The two at the bottom are surprisingly stretchy, adding flexibility to what you can fit. The third pocket has two slots lined with felt for stashing delicate items like your phone and sunglasses. For reference, one of these slip pockets easily fits my iPhone 13 Pro in a case.

Additional features include:

• Premium zippers
• Durable branded zipper pulls
• Padded shoulder straps
• An integrated hook for hanging your bag on a fence
• Durable polyester throughout

Undoubtedly, the Axiom racquet bag is one of the best on the market, pushing the envelope for this category of bags, and well worth considering if you’re in research mode.

• Clean design
• Two colorways
• Storage capacity
• Organizational features
• Generous shoe compartment
• Durable materials
• Hanging hook for a fence
• Stands upright when needed
• Third carry handle on the bag’s front side
• Metal vs. plastic shoulder strap adjusters
• Thermal-lined compartments for racquets*

*Geau did some testing on this front , which is fantastic, and I’d encourage you to read it. Few companies take their bags this seriously. Still, I’ve found these compartments effective when made with quality materials, resulting in more consistency in string tension, as experienced in how my racquets feel when hitting.

Cancha Pro + Wet Dry Bag

Developed by former professional tennis player Jack Oswald, the Cancha Pro racquet bag is a new take on tennis bags.

The racquet bag is relatively compact as far as racquet bags go, storing up to six racquets with a small divider to help prevent the racquets from clanking together on the go. On the bag’s front, you’ll find a small accessory pocket; on the back, you’ll find two backpack-style straps for easily carrying your racquets to the court.

It’s an ideal choice if you want to have your racquets fully enclosed in a racquet bag, but you don’t want something too bulky or overly complicated.

However, what sets Cancha’s offering apart is its modular design that allows you to attach smaller bags, such as a dry bag or day pack containing extra items.

I’m a fan of the wet-dry bag, which provides extra storage, including a separate internal roll-top bag for wet clothes or shoes. Alternatively, the day pack is another simple option for giving yourself extra storage space when needed.

My favorite part about this bag is that Jack and his team think differently, offering a refreshing take on what a tennis racquet bag could be. I’d love to see other companies follow suit with innovative designs.

• Unique modular design
• Durable waterproof material
• Multiple color options
• Quality zippers
• Extra racquet dividers in the main compartment
• Size options

Babolat Pure 9

Babolat offers its nine racquet bags in blue and yellow to match its Drive and Aero line of racquets and a grey option for those looking for a subtler style – the latter is my favorite.

In terms of features, this bag has plenty of space with three main compartments to hold up to nine racquets – the center section is ideal for storing extra gear and apparel. As a bonus, one of the main racquet sections of the bag is Isothermal lined to protect your strings from excessive heat and humidity.

On one side of the bag, you’ll find a larger pocket that extends the entire length with internal pockets for keeping organized. You’ll find a smaller pocket for additional accessories on the other side of the bag, which has a shell to protect more delicate items.

At the top of the bag, you’ll find a dedicated shoe compartment that’s ventilated, and it also comes with a removable sack for dirty items like worn clothes, wristbands, socks, etc. I love this small addition.

The bag features three handles for carrying – two in the middle and one at the top near the shoe compartment. You’ll also have adjustable backpack straps for carrying all your gear around.

Lastly, the bag features a name tag to write your contact information if it’s misplaced or checked during travel – this is a nice touch, and I would love to see other bags include it.

• Not too big or too small – just right
• Thermal racquet compartment
• Dedicated shoe storage
• Removable sack for dirty items
• Backpack straps for easy carrying
• Reliable zippers that last
• Molded side pocket for protecting delicate items
• I would prefer it if both main side compartments were thermal lined
• It would be nice if the backpack straps were removable
• Molded side panels to keep their shape would be a nice touch
• I’d love to see Babolat offer a slightly more subtle option where the bag doesn’t scream the branding

Wilson Super Tour Pro Staff 15

Launched in 2020 to coincide with the release of the thirteenth generation of the Pro Staff line, the Super Tour Pro Staff 15 is an exceptional tennis bag that nails the essentials.

Overall, it’s a stylish bag. I appreciate the understated design that will match Pro Staff racquets, including red and yellow racing stripes at the top near the carry handles. However, its simple black color will work well for players using any Wilson tennis racquets.

The Wilson Super Tour offers three main compartments with enough storage for up to 15 racquets, a handful of frames, and all your other gear, which is how I’d use it.

You’ll find the Wilson logo printed in black on both sides of the bag, and I love how the outside panels are reinforced for extra protection while also helping the bag keep its shape. Each side also features a large accessory pocket that’s divided.

The two main compartments toward the outside edges are thermal lined to protect your racquets and maintain a more consistent temperature to help prolong the life of your strings. A third compartment in the center is perfect for all your extra gear.

This bag also offers backpack straps, which are adjustable, padded, and velcro together for shoulder carry. At the top of the bag, you have a loop for grabbing the bag or hanging it, and at the bottom, you have a ventilated shoe compartment.

• Simple black design
• Lots of room for all your gear
• Dual thermally insulated racquet storage
• Sturdy side panels help it keep its shape
• Removable backpack straps
• Extra internal organization

Wilson Federer DNA 12

The Wilson Federer DNA racquet bag stands out in Wilson’s deep lineup of tennis bags. It’s one of the best-looking bags and has plenty of space to stash up to 12 racquets and extra gear.

It features two main Thermogaurd lined compartments for your racquets and equipment, which is a huge plus. Often, racquet bags only line one of their main compartments with insulation, but it’s great to help protect your strings and any other essential gear from higher heat and humidity.

You’ll also find an exterior pocket for extra storage and smaller items on each side of the bag.

The Wilson Federer DNA racquet bag also has handles to pick up the bag and backpack straps to carry it around comfortably.

Finally, the bag features updated zippers, which have improved over the previous generation. Poor zipper design was a common complaint, so seeing their designers pay attention is a bonus.

• This bag looks fantastic and keeps its shape with molded sides
• Thermal-insulated main compartments to protect your gear
• Dedicated shoe storage would be nice
• It could be a bit wider – tight for a 12-racquet bag
• Wilson has improved the zippers, but they still need some work
• It would be nice if the backpack straps were on the top of the bag instead of the bottom since that’s where I place it on the ground – plus, I’d prefer if they were removable

Tecnifibre Team Dry 12R

A relatively new addition to the Tecnifibre lineup, the Team Dry 12 racquet bag is a worthy option if you’re shopping for a new bag.

I’m a big fan of the durable outer tarpaulin material that coats the bag, which is UV and water-resistant and gives it a clean aesthetic.

The bag offers a fairly standard setup for this size, including three compartments, which can store up to four racquets each. Alternatively, you can use one or two of the compartments for racquets and stash additional gear in the others with plenty of extra space.

On one side of the bag, you’ll find a small accessory zipper pocket, and then, on one end of the bag, there’s a ventilated compartment for shoes or dirty clothes, which is double-lined to protect other items in your bag.

The bag offers attached padded backpack straps for carrying, which you can also use to throw the bag over one shoulder.

• Stylish black design
• Durable and sturdy tarpaulin material
• Dedicated shoe compartment
• Ample storage
• Thermal-lined racquet compartment
• Extra internal organization pockets
• Detachable backpack straps

Head Core 6R Combi

Head’s Core 6R Combi is an economical offering with plenty of storage for up to six racquets or any other gear you like to carry.

The bag features two large main zipper compartments with enough space to hold up to three racquets each. However, most players store a few racquets in one of these compartments and the rest of the gear and accessories in the other compartment.

For carrying the Head Core 6R Combi, you have two options. You can use the quick grab handles at the top, which velcros together, or the padded straps for wearing as a backpack or carrying on one shoulder.

On the outside of the bag, you’ll also find a small accessory pocket perfect for stashing your keys, wallet, or phone and quickly accessing those items on the go.

The bag is nearly 29.5″ in length, 12.5″ tall, and 10.5″ wide, providing players of all ages and levels with adequate storage for a competitive match or day at the courts.

• Mid-range size with plenty of room for gear
• Economical price point
• Shoulder straps for carrying larger loads
• Internal pockets for organization
• An additional external pocket for smaller accessories
• Dedicated ventilated shoe compartment

Prince Tour Slam 12

The Prince Tour Slam 12 is an excellent racquet bag with plenty of bells and whistles to keep any competitive player happy.

For storage, you’ll find three main compartments. The two primary enclosures at the edges of the bag are ideal for racquets. One offers a thermal lining for storing up to five tennis racquets, while the other can stash additional racquets or gear.

Both sides of the bag have large accessory pockets with a handful of mesh pockets for storing smaller items.

At the bottom of the bag, you’ll find a dedicated and ventilated shoe compartment, while the top offers another similar pocket that’s thermal lined and makes a great spot to store a water bottle.

Uniquely, this bag includes a laptop compartment, which students and coaches might appreciate.

The bag also has handles at the top and removable backpack straps so you can more easily tote the bag around.

• Ideal size for carrying racquets and additional gear
• Extra thermal cooler pocket at the top of the bag
• Removable backpack straps for travel
• Sturdy materials help the bag keep its shape
• It would be ideal if both side racquet compartments were thermal lined
• I’d love to see Prince offer a slightly more subtle option where the bag doesn’t scream the branding

Yonex Pro Series 9

The Yonex Pro racquet bag is an excellent option for a mid-sized racket bag with plenty of racquet and gear storage.

Like many other bags on my list, it contains three main compartments. The two at the edges of the bag are ideal for racquets, one of which is thermal lined to protect your strings from the heat.

You’ll find a large zippered accessory pocket on one side of the bag with a single mesh inner pocket for stashing small items.

At the bottom of the bag, you’ll find a dedicated shoe compartment, which is great for keeping shoes and any dirty gear separate.

The Yonex Pro Series also offers a carry handle at the bottom of the bag and two removable backpack straps with plenty of padding so you can easily carry all your gear.

• Good overall size with plenty of storage
• The thermal pocket is large and fits up to five racquets
• An extra accessory pocket on the side of the bag would be nice
• The thermal lining feels cheap compared to other bags
• The dedicated shoe compartment doesn’t offer ventilation
• There are no carry handles at the center of the bag, and I’d prefer the handle at the bottom of the bag to be at the top

A backpack is practical whether you play tennis or not, so it’s no surprise that more companies offer them than any other bag.

Here are my picks for the best tennis backpacks.

Geau Sport Axiom v2

You may not know the name, but the Axiom tennis backpack is

a high-quality and feature-rich alternative from established brands.

Founder and tennis player Chris Pageau spent years developing products for the outdoor industry. After rediscovering his passing for the sport, he recognized a gap in the market for tennis bags – and I’m glad he did.

Enter the Axiom tennis backpack. The company isn’t a racquet brand, so its clean black design will never clash with your racquet of choice.

For materials, you’ll find durable 420D polyester fabric for the bag’s body, while the bottom uses 500D Cordura fabric for maximum durability and abrasion resistance.

The backpack takes a creative approach with racquet storage for up to two frames. Instead of your standard pocket, it’s a sleeve that unzips from the side to slide in your racquets easily, and the back panel has plenty of cushioning to help maintain comfort with or without racquets.

The bag’s main compartment is roomy, offering a moveable divider to help keep all your gear organized or wide open for larger items. It also has a practical application in maintaining the bag’s shape when not packed to the brim. On the side, you’ll find a waterproof and ventilated pocket to stash wet clothes or a pair of shoes.

The Axiom backpack offers organization through a handful of internal pockets, including one of my favorites, a crush-resistant zone to help protect valuables like your sunglasses or phone. On both sides of the bag, you have pockets for storing a water bottle and a can of balls, which are magnetic for maintaining a clean look when not in use.

As you’d expect, the bag offers adjustable shoulder straps with plenty of padding for comfort, and there’s a standard carry handle at the top.

Finally, another unique feature is a hook at the top of the backpack for hanging it on a fence when you get to the court, making it quick and easy to access your gear between changeovers.

As someone who’s struggled with back issues, this is a nice bonus as I don’t have to bend down to look through my bag.

• Holds two racquets
• Clean all-black design
• Non-racquet brand
• Waterproof side pocket that fits shoes
• Magnetic side pockets
• Crush-resistance valuables pocket
• Hook for hanging on a fence
• Thermally lined racquet compartment
• Removable sternum strap

The Baseline tennis backpack from Vessel is a high-end backpack offering almost everything I look for in this style bag.

The racquet compartment can fit two racquets, and it’s the only insulated one on my list to protect your strings from heat and humidity.

The main compartment has plenty of storage for essentials and two internal zippered pockets lined with velour for stashing valuables like sunglasses and cell phones.

There are also two additional non-zipper pockets to organize a few smaller items. You’ll also find another pocket for other accessories at the front of the bag, and there are two side pockets for storing a can of balls and a water bottle, which stay flush when not being used with magnets.

The bottom of the bag has a generous ventilated compartment to store your shoes or dirty clothes, and it zips wide open for easy access.

Finally, the bag has a compression-molded back panel and ergonomic shoulder straps with a sternum strap that hides away when unused.

• Top-notch design and materials
• Carries up to two racquets
• Thermally insulated racquet compartment
• Ventilated shoe compartment
• Multiple pockets for smaller accessories
• I’d enjoy a secondary thermal pocket for a drink or snack
• Wider side pockets to accommodate larger water bottles

Wilson Federer DNA

The Wilson Federer DNA is Roger Federer’s signature backpack that works great for any player who likes to pack light while still having plenty of room for the essentials.

The bag features a main racquet compartment that can hold up to two racquets with locking zippers, which means once zipped up, they hold their place, so they won’t accidentally open up.

The main compartment is reasonably spacious and large enough to carry a few items like a change of clothes, towel, and can of tennis balls. It also offers a laptop compartment and a few organizational pockets for smaller items.

At the front of the bag, you’ll find another compartment to store items such as your shoes and keep them separate from other gear.

There are also two smaller zip pockets on the sides of the bag. One is thermal lined for keeping a drink and snacks cooler on a hot day, and the other is fleece lined to keep valuables like your phone or sunglasses safe.

Lastly, the backpack straps offer plenty of padding, and there’s a handle at the top of the bag for quickly picking it up.

• Sleek all-black design
• Thermal side pocket for a drink and snacks
• Fleece-lined side pocket for valuables
• Ventilation for the front compartment would be a nice touch since it’s ideal for shoes or dirty gear as well

Babolat Pure

The Babolat Pure backpack is an excellent option for tennis players who don’t need as much space as a racquet bag but still want plenty of storage for a day at the court.

The bag can carry up to two racquets and offers excellent padding for your back to ensure comfort.

The larger main compartment is ideal for all your primary gear and includes a section for storing a laptop or tablet.

At the front, toward the bottom of the bag, a dedicated shoe compartment with ventilation also stashes dirty gear.

There are two smaller side compartments, and the bag also features generous shoulder straps and a chest clip to keep the bag steady when it’s heavier or riding a bike or skateboard.

• All-black design
• Lots of plush padding at the back for comfort
• I’d love a thermal pocket for keeping a drink or snacks cool
• A few additional smaller inside storage compartments for smaller items would be an excellent addition

Tecnifibre Team Dry

More recently, Tecnifibre has released some excellent tennis bags, and one of my favorites is their Team Dry Bag.

The bag’s durable, UV, and water-resistant material is called Tarpaulin. In black, it offers a sleek, tactical-looking style that I’m a big fan of, in addition to the benefits of the material.

The backpack offers a large racquet compartment that can fit up to three racquets, while others usually store a max of two. You can also use the included grip cover to protect your racquets fully.

Then there’s the large main rolltop compartment with a velcro divider that you can use to separate things for a bit more organization. Two open mesh pockets are on the front inside the main enclosure for extra internal organization.

You can also access the main compartment quickly without using the rolltop from both sides of the back, which is a super handy feature, mainly because roll tops can be annoying to open and close when you need something quickly.

Below the main compartment, you’ll also find a vented tunnel for dirty clothes. Unfortunately, it’s not quite big enough for shoes, so consider buying an inexpensive dry bag, which you can place in the main compartment if you like.

On the front of the backpack, there’s a small vertical zip accessory pocket for quickly accessing items, and then on the back of the bag, you’ll find generous padding for your back. The straps are well-padded and include a sternum strap to keep the bag secure and improve comfort when fully packed.

Finally, the bag offers a carry handle at the top, and directly beneath, there’s a small zip accessory pocket for items like your keys or a phone.

• Durable, water-resistant material
• Carries up to three racquets
• Vented pocket for dirty clothes
• Quick access side pockets
• Removable racquet handle cover

The Yonex Pro is a sporty-looking tennis backpack worth checking out if you’re into this style of bag.

It can comfortably store up to two tennis racquets in the dedicated racquet compartment, while the main enclosure can hold the remainder of your gear, such as a change of clothes, water, a towel, and one or two cans of tennis balls.

For your accessories, there are two zippered pockets at the sides of the bag, but you’ll also find a convenient pocket at the top for quick access to essentials like your keys.

At the bottom, the bag has a dedicated shoe compartment that stores dirty clothes.

Last but not least, the bag offers standard shoulder straps with a sternum strap and a grab handle at the top.

• Clean black design
• Hidden dedicated shoe compartment at the bottom of the bag
• Three accessory pockets: two at the sides and one at the top
• It would be nice if it had a laptop slot
• I wish the shoe storage had ventilation

Nike Court Advantage

The Nike Court Advantage backpack is a stylish offering with essential storage for your gear.

The main racquet compartment has enough room to store one or two racquets and is the only backpack on my list to use a separator so that the racquets don’t rub or bump against each other; it’s a nice touch.

The main compartment is spacious for keeping all your gear together, and there is a ventilated section at the front of the bag for keeping your shoes or dirty clothes separate.

There’s a small zippered accessory storage area at the front, and you’ll find two side pouches for a bottle of water or can of balls.

The bag has generous straps, a comfortable chest buckle, and a convenient carry handle at the top.

Last, but not least, it’s worth noting that the bottom of the bag has a coating for extra durability and a bit of protection from moisture.

• Great style
• Separator for racquets so they don’t hit each other
• Ventilated compartment for shoes or dirty gear
• I’d appreciate a laptop slot
• Back padding could be improved
• It would be nice if side pockets were zippered

The Head Core backpack is another solid offering with all you’d expect for a day at the courts.

Depending on your needs, the dedicated racquet compartment has room for one or two tennis racquets.

The minimalist main compartment is plenty large and offers space to bring some of your essentials, and there’s also a zip pocket at the front of the bag for smaller items.

The bottom of the bag has a dedicated shoe compartment with ventilation, and you’ll find accessory pockets at the sides.

Finally, the bag offers standard backpack straps that join at the top for a convenient carry handle.

• Three accessory pockets: two at the sides and one at the front
• A dedicated shoe compartment would be ideal

Whether you’re looking for maximum carrying capacity, taking a trip for a tournament, packing for vacation, or needing more space to stash your gear, a tennis duffel bag is an excellent option with more storage for all your essentials.

Here are my top picks for the best tennis duffel bags.

Geau Sport Axiom

The Axiom duffel is the newest member of the Geau family of bags with excellent capacity that can fit up to ten racquets.

Of course, more than likely, you’ll end up storing a few racquets along with a bunch of extra gear, which is where this bag excels because it offers one of the best internal storage systems of any duffel.

For storing oversized items, you can take full advantage of the main compartment, which measures 31″ long, 12″ deep, and 17″ tall. Alternatively, manually place four internal dividers to customize the bag’s organization. The rigid dividers are heavy-duty with extra strong velcro, so you can be confident your setup will stay put.

You’ll find one of two ventilated waterproof compartments within the bag’s lid, ideal for items like dirty clothes or towels that will lay relatively flat when stashed in that pocket. On the bag’s end, you’ll find the other ventilated waterproof pocket explicitly designed for shoes, which shares space with the main enclosure and is worth keeping in mind as you set up your internal dividers if you plan on using it.

On the bag’s front, you’ll find two zippered pockets, one large with three internal mesh pockets for organizing accessories and another smaller pocket for quick access to items like your phone, wallet, or keys.

For carrying, the bag is rock solid. There are three grab handles, one on top and two on either end. There are also two padded shoulder straps for wearing the duffel like a backpack. You can use both for a traditional setup and adjust the width and length of the straps as needed, and there’s an adjustable sternum strap for supporting a heavier load. Alternatively, you can go with one strap for carrying the bag at your side over one shoulder, or you can remove the straps altogether for traveling.

The bag’s lightweight construction is also top-notch, using heavy-duty water-resistant polyester to resist abrasion, rips, and tears, along with premium zippers that pull smoothly and hide the zipper teeth when closed for added protection and a clean look.

Helpful Tip If you’d like to enhance the bag’s internal storage, check out Geau’s compression packing cube and floating pockets , which are the perfect addition if you’re like me and obsessed with organization.

Overall, Geau’s Axiom duffel breaks the mold for what players should expect from this style bag, delivering generous storage and organization for competitive players who demand extra space.

• Perfect size for a duffel, not too big or small
• Thoughtful organization in the main compartment
• Two vented waterproof pockets for shoes and gear
• Two external pockets for organization
• Durable materials to resist wear and tear
• Customizable shoulder straps
• Three grab handles for carrying
• Metal instead of plastic hardware for straps
• A more robust zipper pull for the main compartment
• A crush-resistant pocket for delicate items like sunglasses

Head Gravity

The Head Gravity duffel is an excellent option that provides some of the best features for players looking for extra space. For 2021, the bag has a new colorway to match the refreshed line of Gravity racquets.

The main compartment of this bag is spacious and has the right length to store racquets and any gear you’re planning to bring.

This section also features an adjustable Velcro storage system that you can use to break it up into smaller compartments for organization. Plus, there are two internal zipper pockets for smaller items. You can stash up to six if you’re using this section to store racquets.

One of my favorite parts about this bag is a dedicated racquet compartment lined with Head’s CCT+ thermal lining technology to help protect your strings from extreme temperatures and humidity, which can comfortably hold three racquets. Using this compartment for your racquets will free up extra space within the main enclosure.

At one end of the bag, you’ll find a vented shoe compartment to keep them separate from your clean gear and an external accessory pocket at the other end of the bag and on one side for quick access to a few essentials.

Last but not least, this bag offers two padded shoulder straps that you can wear as a backpack to carry easily and a grab handle at one end of the bag for quickly picking it up on the go.

• Excellent size for a duffel
• The main compartment organization system
• Two external zipper pockets for quick access
• Removable shoulder straps for travel
• An extra grab handle on the other side

Nike Brasilia 9.5

The Nike Brasilia 9.5 duffel bag is an excellent large-sized option for tennis on and off the court.

With a 95-liter carrying capacity, the bag offers ample storage for all your gear. The main compartment has room for oversized items, including racquets, extra clothing and shoes, and all your training essentials. There’s also a small zip internal pocket for things you want to keep safe, such as your wallet or cell phone.

A second internal pocket offers sizeable storage toward the bag’s bottom, perfect for keeping worn clothing, towels, and shoes separate.

You’ll find an external zip pocket at one end of the bag for quick access; on the other, there’s a non-zipper mesh pocket for placing some items loosely, such as a water bottle or can of balls. A second external zip pocket is directly below the main compartment, ideal for smaller accessories, including grips and strings.

You have two options for carrying the Nike Brasilia 9.5. You can use the two carry handles at the bag’s side or the padded detachable shoulder strap. Overall, it’s an excellent full-sized companion for bringing to the court or training.

• Huge amount of storage
• Detachable shoulder strap
• Dedicated compartment for shoes and dirty clothes/towels
• Durable construction and protective coating on the bottom
• Extra internal organizational features

The Nike Court Advantage duffel bag is another one of my favorites. It’s an excellent mid-sized option and is my pick for one of the most stylish tennis duffels.

It’s not the largest bag, but it offers ample storage for your gear in the main compartment with two dedicated and padded slots for stashing two tennis racquets. It’s worth noting that much of the bag’s storage capacity is vertical in this bag. There are also two smaller mesh internal pockets for storing smaller accessories.

You’ll find a small vertical zip accessories pocket near the Nike Court logo on the front of the bag that can store items like your keys and cell phone.

At one end of the bag, you’ll find a dedicated shoe compartment that’s ventilated; on the other, there’s a non-zipper pocket for placing some items loosely, such as a water bottle or can of balls.

There are two longer carry straps at the top of the bag and buckles at either end to secure the top at the sides.

• Style – this bag looks great
• Plenty of storage for a mid-sized bag
• Padded sections for two racquets
• The main compartment zipper isn’t my favorite for packing or accessing gear – my preference would be “U” shaped for easier access
• A shoulder strap would be a positive addition
• A larger external accessory pocket would be nice

The Babolat XL duffel bag offers fantastic storage potential, a great-looking design, and plenty of practical features.

The main compartment is one of the largest on my list, with more than enough storage when traveling. Inside, you’ll find a detachable center three-section organization storage compartment, so you can either use it or remove it if you prefer.

You’ll find a large accessories pocket on one side of the bag for quick access to smaller items.

You can carry the bag by hand using the two straps at the top. However, they also double as backpack straps if you’re looking for an easier way to transport your gear.

The straps are removable if you’re traveling, and the bag has two simple carry handles at both ends of the bag, so you can quickly grab it on the go like you would at an airport’s baggage claim.

• Perfect size for all your extra gear
• Organizational storage system
• Removable straps for travel
• Internal zipper pockets for organization
• An extra external accessories pocket
• Thermal insulation for racquets

The Team Dry Duffel by Tecnifibre is a compelling option I’d encourage players to check out.

The bag’s outer material is called Tarpaulin. It’s water and UV-resistant, extra durable, and looks great too.

On the outside of the bag, you’ll find a front zip pocket for small accessories and quick access. Then, on one end of the bag, you’ll find a ventilated shoe tunnel for stashing your shoes and another small zip pocket on the opposite end of the duffel.

Inside the main compartment, you’ll find enough storage to carry eight tennis racquets or a ton of extra gear. I’m a fan of the padded separator inside the bag to divide your equipment for better organization.

Inside the bag’s zippered top, you’ll also find two mesh zipper pockets to help keep a few smaller items or accessories organized.

• Large capacity
• Vented shoe compartment
• The right size, not too big or small
• Inclusion of a standard shoulder strap
• Extra external zipper

Wilson Tour

The Wilson Tour duffel bag is an excellent option for players who want the extra storage offered by a duffel but want something manageable.

The main compartment for this bag has two main sections, and it’s long enough to carry your tennis racquets. You can split one of the sections with a Velcro divider for extra organization, and there are two internal pockets for keeping some smaller items – one of them is zippered.

On the outside of the bag, you’ll find a smaller zippered pocket for stashing anything that needs extra protection, like a cell phone or pair of sunglasses.

At one end of the bag, you’ll find a dedicated shoe compartment, and for carrying, there are two adjustable shoulder straps with a padded Velcro grip for throwing it over your shoulder when needed.

• Large enough to store multiple tennis racquets
• Internal organization features
• Felt-lined accessories pocket for valuables
• It’s a bit smaller than I’d prefer for a duffel, but that may be a plus for some players
• An extra external pocket would be a plus

Prince Dufflepack

Although the Prince Dufflepack is more a backpack than a duffel bag, it’s a worthy alternative for players looking for a smaller option with a unique main compartment modeled after a duffel bag.

The bag features a dedicated and well-padded racquet compartment for storing two tennis racquets, and you’ll find a smaller zipped pocket for storing a laptop or tablet next to it.

You access the main compartment by lying the bag on its back through a center zipper compartment as you would when opening a duffel bag, which has space to stash some of your essential gear.

There’s a dedicated shoe compartment at the bottom of the bag, and on the sides, there are two zippered pockets with organizational storage for all sorts of accessories and snacks.

You’ll also find two open mesh pockets on either side of the bag, which can easily fit a water bottle and a can of tennis balls.

A felt-lined pocket at the top of the bag is perfect for storing valuables that need extra protection, such as cell phones or sunglasses. For carrying, the bag has your standard backpack straps and three grab handles – one at the top and bottom and another at the side.

• Ample compartments for organization
• Laptop compartment
• Felt-lined pocket for valuables
• I’d love to see Prince increase the size for something more along the lines of a bag you’d take backpacking
• A thermal side pocket would be an excellent addition for keeping some items like a drink or snacks cool

Yonex Pro Tournament

Yonex offers a smaller, no-frills bag to stash your racquets and gear with their Pro Tournament duffel.

The bag features two main zippered compartments that carry six tennis racquets each. They’re not the largest, but if you only store a few racquets, there’s still plenty of room for your equipment.

On the outside of the bag, you’ll find a large accessory pocket that runs down the entire side, and at the top corner, there’s another smaller pocket that you can use to stash some extra gear.

You can join the two longer grab handles with a Velcro strap when carrying the bag during travel.

• Simple no-frills offering
• Large accessory pockets
• I’d love it if the bag were a bit larger
• A shoulder strap would be a bonus
• Extra internal organization would be ideal

Style, size, and price are the main factors distinguishing tennis totes. Here are my favorite picks for the best in 2024.

Known for its premium bags, it’s no surprise Vessel’s tennis tote impresses with a stylish design and essential features.

The Baseline microsuede synthetic leather tote comes in four colors and is durable, heat resistant, and easy to clean.

There are two slip pockets on the outside – the perfect size for a water bottle and can of balls. A third pocket functions as a sleeve for the handle of your carry-on luggage, which means this bag is just as well suited for traveling as it is the court.

On the inside, there are two main compartments. One is padded and dedicated to carrying up to two tennis racquets with a zipper. The other main compartment also features a zipper and is large enough to fit all your daily gear.

I love that there are five interior pockets for organizing accessories and daily essentials. One of them is a velour-lined pocket for valuables like your cell phone or sunglasses.

As a bonus, there’s a key clip, so you don’t lose them at the bottom, and a removable nylon shoe bag for carrying your shoes without getting everything else dirty.

Last but not least, the Vessel Baseline tote has two straps that can go over your arm or shoulder, depending on your preference.

• High-end materials
• Perfect size
• Clean and simple design
• Lots of organizational storage
• Dedicated and padded racquet compartment
• Removable shoe bag
• Handy key clip
• A thermal-insulated pocket would be a nice touch

Geau Stance

The Stance tote is one of the latest additions to the Geau Sport lineup. It’s a sporty shoulder bag for ladies with plenty of storage, stable construction, and practical features for a day at the court.

The bag comes in black or sapphire blue and can store up to two oversized tennis racquets in the main compartment.

Opposite the racquet storage, there’s a section for placing larger items, including a light jacket, a change of clothes, or a pair of shoes. It also includes a pocket designed to fit a can of tennis balls while working well for a water bottle if you want to stay upright.

There’s a sturdy main compartment zipper to keep your items secure in case the bag falls over and an additional magnetic closure that folds over the top to provide easy access when the zipper is not in use.

On the bag’s outside, you’ll find a sizable front pocket, which is felt-lined to protect delicate items and valuables, along with plenty of slip pockets for storing your phone, sunglasses, and smaller accessories. A key clip and an additional full-height zip pocket inside the front pocket provide even more organizational storage.

At the front of the bag, there’s one additional pocket perfect for your water bottle and roomy enough for a can of balls. The Stance tote also features five metal feet that prevent the bottom from touching the ground when setting it down to keep it clean. Alternatively, you can use the integrated hook at the bag’s top to hang it on a fence for quick and easy access without bending, one of my favorite features.

If you’re looking for a fair-priced premium bag with a sporty design that stands tall and delivers excellent organizational storage, then Geau Stance Tote will be a perfect match.

• Space for two racquets
• Mid-range size, not too big or small
• Front pocket organizational storage
• Easy access magnetic closures
• Sturdy construction that stays upright
• Integrated hanging hook
• Durable, lightweight design
• Additional external pockets on the back and side Extra organization in the main compartment More colors/patterns

Wilson Tote

One of my favorite tennis totes is an affordable option from Wilson that offers everything you need to hit the court.

The design is sporty, sleek, and available in several colors to suit various styles. You’ll find a subtle floral print for a bit of extra style throughout the inside of the bag.

Two zippered and ventilated pockets on the outside are great for smaller items or dirty towels and clothes.

The main compartment is zippered to help keep everything in place and has enough room to store two racquets in a padded enclosure that includes a clasp to help keep the racquets secure.

Inside the bag, you’ll find one zippered pocket for keeping valuables safe and a thermal insulated pocket to hold a drink or snack while keeping them cool. There are also a few additional slip pockets for storing other smaller items and a mesh sleeve to securely hold a medium-sized water bottle.

I love the removable zippered shoe bag. You can place your shoes inside and toss them into your tote without worrying about getting everything else dirty.

Last but not least, the Wilson tote has two long shoulder straps with a padded velcro clasp for easily carrying everything with you.

• Ventilated side pockets
• Thermal-insulated internal pocket
• Dedicated racquet compartment
• Adjustable straps would be a nice touch

Court Couture Monte Carlo Tote

One of Court Couture’s latest editions to their high-end tennis bags, the sleek-looking Monte Carlo is a multi-functional bag with a sporty twist.

Court Couture designed this tote with Saffiano cross-grain faux leather for a classic yet durable look, which works just as well for the court, a day out with friends, or a trip to the office.

The bag has three large storage compartments. The two on the outside have snap buttons to keep them closed when not in use. One has two slip pockets for organization, while the other has a zipper pocket and a water bottle holder.

The center compartment is large enough to store two racquets, including oversized frames with a slot at the side where the handles come through for a clean flush look.

Finally, the bag comes with a matching wristlet or accessory bag for your daily essentials, from makeup to sunscreen. The Court Couture Monte Carlo tote is available in Black, Fuchsia, and Ivory.

• Quality materials
• Stores two racquets
• Removable accessory bag
• Removable shoe storage bag
• External zipper pocket on back for quick access

Maggie Mather Tote

The tennis tote from Maggie Mather is another excellent option to consider when buying a new tote.

The outside of the tote features a simple, sporty design that’s durable and water-repellent. One of my favorite parts about the bag is the extensive color section that caters to various preferences.

On the front of the bag, you’ll find two large open slip pockets for stashing a few accessories. Above these two pockets, you’ll find the main racquet compartment outside the bag with a durable lining for storing two tennis racquets.

On the back of the bag is a smaller zip pocket to secure valuables, such as your keys and a cell phone for quick access. There are two more open slip pockets on both sides of the bag – one shorter and one taller for a can of balls or a water bottle.

The bag’s main compartment is large and deep to store a bunch of gear for a day at the courts, and it also includes a single inside zippered pocket to keep a few smaller items safely stored.

Lastly, the handles are wider for sitting comfortably on your shoulder and adjustable for customizing the perfect fit.

• Wide-range of colors
• Lots of deep storage
• Adjustable handles
• Outside racquet compartment
• A few extra internal accessory pockets

Glove It Tote

The Maggie Mather and Glove It totes share a similar functional design, with one main difference in that the Glove It bag stores your racquets inside the main compartment.

The outside of the bag is a durable material, and like the Maggie Mather tote, Glove It’s bag has a wide selection of color and print options.

On the front of the tote, you’ll find three open slip pockets to stash all your accessories. On the back, you’ll find a zipper pocket for keeping valuables that you want to stay safe yet accessible.

The bag’s sides feature slip pockets perfect for carrying a water bottle and a can of tennis balls.

Inside the bag, there’s one main compartment that offers plenty of storage for two racquets and the rest of your gear, and a small internal zippered pocket has room for some extra small essentials.

Glove It’s wider handles will sit comfortably on your shoulder and adjust in length so you can customize the perfect fit.

• Wide-range of styles

cinda b Tote

Next up, the cinda b tennis tote is my pick for the cutest option.

The bag comes in a handful of different colors, and I love the stylish quilted design, which also happens to be water and stain-resistant. You’ll also find the inside of these totes offers various prints for an extra fun touch of style.

Store up to two tennis racquets in the outside zipper compartment with your racquets resting at an angle so they don’t get in the way.

Both sides of the bag have two smaller slip pockets that can easily stash a can of tennis balls or water bottles.

Inside the main zipper compartment of the bag, there’s lots of room to store all sorts of gear, as well as a smaller internal pocket for any other daytime essentials.

The bag also comes with two ways to carry – a set of smaller handles for holding at your side or on your arm and an adjustable shoulder strap that’s also removable.

• Style and quilted design
• Plenty of space for storing gear
• Carry handles and adjustable shoulder strap that’s removable
• An external zipper pocket on the back would be a nice touch

Hadaki Tote

The Hadaki tennis tote shares many similarities with the cinda b tote, including many stylish colors and prints.

The tote stores two tennis racquets on an angle at the bag’s front with a dedicated zipper pocket.

On the back of the tote, you’ll find a large open slip pocket and a small zip pocket for storing a few valuables you want to keep safe.

Inside the main zipper compartment, the tote offers storage and an internal zip pocket to keep any smaller items you want to carry with you.

Last but not least, the tote has two mid-size handles for carrying at your side or over your shoulder.

• Stylish design
• External pockets on the back
• Adjustable straps would be ideal
• Side pockets would offer some additional convenient storage

Tory Burch Tote

Tory Burch offers one of the most stylish and high-quality tennis totes with a hefty price tag that shouldn’t be surprising if you’re familiar with the brand.

The bag has two colors: a coated canvas with a bold maroon stripe or a navy blue faux leather option.

Although similar, the totes have slightly different features, so I’ll cover the canvas option, my favorite of the two.

For starters, the tote carries up to two racquets in a detachable front zip compartment that, once removed, converts it to a stylish bag with a simple design that’s perfect for summer.

On both sides of the tote, you can store a can of balls or a water bottle, and there is a third exterior pocket for stashing items that you might need to access quickly on the go.

The Tory Burch tennis tote opens at the top with a magnetic closure. Inside, you’ll find a mesh zip pocket with a card slot for quick access, and then there’s another wall zip pocket with two pen holders.

One of my favorite parts of the bag is the shoe or laundry compartment with zip closure, so you don’t have to mix these items with anything else you’re carrying.

Finally, the bag has two top handles with an 8.75 in (22 cm) drop and a removable cross-body strap adjustable up to 26 in (66 cm).

• Stylish convertible design
• Spacious yet manageable
• Additional internal pocks for organization

Ame & Lulu Tote

Last but certainly not least, the Ame & Lulu tennis tote is another of my favorites, offering a stylish design that works just as well on the court as it can off.

The outside of the bag is minimalistic, with a single front zipper pocket for stashing a few daily essentials or accessories. You’ll also find two smaller open slip pockets on the sides of the bag, which are large enough to hold a can of tennis balls but won’t fit a larger water bottle.

Inside, there’s a dedicated racquet compartment with a zipper to store two tennis racquets and plenty of extra space to keep all your gear for a day at the courts. The bag also offers great internal organizational storage with three pockets – one zipper and two open slip pockets.

Two simple medium-length straps work well for holding the bag at your side or over your shoulder for carrying the tote.

• Lots of storage
• Internal organizational pockets
• Dedicated internal racquet compartment
• Side slip pockets could be larger
• Adjustable straps would be nice

What I Keep in My Bag

Throughout this guide, I’ve mentioned the range of items tennis players might keep in their bags to ensure they have fun and perform their best on the court.

To help add context for the types of items tennis players keep in their bags, I’ll share what I carry around when I’m competing, which will also help give you a sense of why I often use a larger racquet bag.

• Three strung racquets: I’ve always been a string breaker, so I need a few racquets on hand. I carried five in college, but I’ve gone down to three since then. There’s nothing worse than looking forward to playing and breaking your strings and having to stop playing, whether competitive or for fun.
• Overgrips: I love the feeling of a fresh overgrip and apply a new one almost every time I play, so I always have a pack on hand. I install a new one whenever my grip starts to slip or lose traction. The longer I play, the more likely I’ll change it during a match, especially in warmer conditions where perspiration is a factor.
• Towel: I never carried a towel when I was younger, but I started using one in college and never looked back. I use it to wipe the sweat off my face and arms between points, giving me a bit of a reset whenever I do so. I’ll usually keep 1-3 towels on hand, depending on how long I play.
• Hat: I’ve never been a hat wearer on the court, but sometimes, when playing in sunny conditions, I’ll break out a hat to give my eyes a bit of cover, mainly when serving or playing into the sun.
• Extra shirts: If I’m sweating faster than I’m drying off, I’ll swap my top for a new one. I’ll also change my shirt between sets to give myself a fresh start.
• Extra socks: Much like changing my shirts, I like to have extra socks on hand to change into a fresh pair when it’s hot. I don’t always change them, but it makes a world of difference when it’s needed.
• Light jacket or sweatshirt: Growing up playing in New England, where the weather and conditions can change quickly, it pays to have a light jacket or sweatshirt I can throw on if my body is cooling down too fast between points. I always perform better when my body is warm and gets tight and less fluid when cold.
• Shoes: I only ever bring one pair of tennis shoes to the court, but I always have comfy running shoes that I wear to the court and change into when I leave. Many tennis shoes aren’t the most comfortable for general wear, and I love putting on something more relaxed after playing.
• Shoelaces: I broke a pair of shoelaces playing tennis once and didn’t have any backups. I had to makeshift tie them back together, and it was a pain in the butt. Since that happened, I have kept a spare pair in my bag.
• Sunglasses: I don’t wear sunglasses on the court but frequently do off the court, so they’re always with me and have a spot in my bag.
• Headphones: I like to listen to music before playing tennis. It helps get me in the zone and pumps me up.
• Notepad and pen: Every time I’m on the court, it’s a learning opportunity, so I like to take notes. It might be about an area for improvement, a situation where I did or didn’t perform well, or something about my opponent that I want to remember. I could use my phone, but things commit to memory better when using pen and paper.
• Roller stick: I use The Stick to massage my leg muscles and lower back immediately after playing tennis. It’s a simple, lightweight device that easily fits my bag and helps reduce pain and muscle fatigue, which works best right after playing. It’s an excellent stopgap to use before stretching when I get home.
• Sunscreen: Anytime I’m in the sun during the spring, summer, or fall, I apply sunscreen to protect my skin. It’s a small investment that pays enormous dividends, even when only hitting for 30-60 minutes.
• Deodorant: Sometimes, after playing tennis, I might hang out to catch up with friends or run an errand before heading home, so I keep a bottle of liquid deodorant handy. Anything else will melt in the sun and be useless.
• Lip balm: I find dry or chapped lips incredibly distracting playing tennis, so I always keep lip balm handy to prevent it.
• Tiger balm: Muscle and tendon pain is simply part of the game, and while I’m always looking to prevent it by caring for my body before and after tennis, I find Tiger Balm to be a lifesaver when discomfort strikes, especially on my back.
• CBD lotion: After a match, if I have any pain or discomfort, I’ll apply CBD lotion to the area to reduce pain and inflammation. It’s subtle acting, but I always feel better the next day when I use it.
• Tissues: Pretty straightforward, but most helpful when playing in cold conditions, and my nose tends to run.
• Water bottle: I usually bring a gallon-sized water bottle to the court, which doesn’t fit my bag. However, I always have a second smaller water bottle in my bag, which I can use to mix up a hydration pack during or after a match.
• Snack bars: I do my best to fuel properly before and after tennis, but if I play for an extended period, I’ll often take small bites of an easy-to-digest snack bar between changeovers. Otherwise, they’re great for refueling immediately after playing.
• Hydration packs: Products like Liquid IV or LMNT are excellent for quickly rehydrating your body during or after a match. I use them often, especially after playing.
• First aid kit: Nothing fancy, but a simple first aid kit, especially for blisters or minor scrapes, can be super helpful. I like to have a few bandaids on hand and some adhesive mesh for my fingers.
• Advil: Again, pretty straightforward. When I have some mild pain or discomfort, it can be distracting. Using a common pain reliever can help me play with added comfort.
• Kinesiology tape: I sometimes use it if a muscle bothers me, but it’s not bad enough to take a break from tennis. It improves circulation and blood flow to aid recovery and provides added support for the area.

These items always stay in my bag, but depending on the day, I may include others.

Some people might think I’m crazy for carrying all of these things, but I use many of them regularly, and for those I don’t, I’m always glad I have them when needed.

It’s worth noting that I usually take the smallest quantity of each item. For example, I don’t bring a bottle of Advil or a box of tissues. I’ll carry two single-serve packs of Advil and a small pocket-size package of tissues. Although it sounds like a lot, it can all be packed easily into a racquet bag.

Hopefully, you find what I carry somewhat insightful or, at the very least, interesting for consideration on how to pack yours. If you’re buying a tennis bag as a gift , consider pre-packing it with some of these items, which are helpful and fun to open.

Wrapping Up

Tennis bags are ideal for storing and organizing your gear regardless of your experience, frequency of play, or skill level.

Luckily, there’s something for everyone, from racquet bags to backpacks, duffels, and tennis totes.

Hopefully, this guide has helped shine some light on the best tennis bags to narrow your options and find something you’ll love.

Of course, if you have any questions – I’d love to hear from you in the comments below.

#1 – ADV Pro V2 Tennis Bag

A brand that doesn’t make tennis racquets , ADV Tennis has created a fantastic, innovative bag for adult club-level players.

My favorite features of this bag are the insulated, built-in-cooler, and the hidden storage pocket underneath the bag to keep wet clothes separated. This bag also comes with two hooks that you can use to hang the bag on the fence, keeping it off the hot tennis court surface.

The center compartment provides space to store tennis balls , sunglasses for tennis , food, or other equipment. The outside pockets are great for organizing your small items like grips, keys, phone, and other accessories. The ventilated shoe storage is helpful for players who don’t like to wear shoes for tennis off the court.

The new version has been updated to hold up to 6 racquets and extended frames with added length for a better fit. It features detachable shoulder straps and plenty of storage and pockets for organization. The bag has it all including great capacity, durability, racquet protection, and more. The only downside is it’s not the most affordable tennis bag, but worth the price in my opinion.

The outside accessory pockets can fit smaller items like strings, tennis overgrips , your phone, keys, etc.

The adjustable shoulder straps are designed to hang comfortably on your shoulders, so you can wear it like a backpack. The two grab handles make it even more mobile.

Inside the main compartment are five total pockets (including a few with zippers) to store your phone, sunglasses, grips, and other belongings. There’s also a clip to secure your keys and make them easy to find.

On the outside, you’ll find two pockets for water bottles or a can of balls. Like everything from Vessel, this bag is made of durable, weather-resistant, premium materials. This bag looks great with some of the best tennis skirts too.

Geau Sport makes the list for a 3rd time and for good reason. They’re making very high-quality bags with features that tennis players need.

The Axiom tennis duffel bag excels in its customizable organization and premium, durable materials. Externally, there is a small pocket for your phone, wallet, keys, and other small items. There is also a larger pocket where you can keep your extra grips, strings, sunscreen, etc. A third zipper on the end of the bag provides access to shoe storage.

In the main compartment, there are four dividers that you can add or remove as needed. This allows you to keep your racquets protected and tennis balls, clothes, and other gear organized.

The shoulder straps are also removable and adjustable. This is a unique feature I haven’t seen in other duffel-style tennis bags. You can choose to carry this duffel as a backpack, with one shoulder strap, or remove the straps and use the grab handle.

Overall, this new tennis duffel bag from Geau Sport outperforms others on the market in every category.

This bag offers a large amount of storage space and features two insulated pockets for racquets that protect your tennis strings from extreme weather conditions. The front pocket on top offers an easily accessible storage space for shoes or dirty equipment.

This bag is a great alternative for players who are looking for a brand different from their racquets or equipment. However, Adidas does make some of the best tennis dresses , tennis shorts , and shoes .

Since it offers most features that a high-end bag would offer, this bag is a great choice for intermediate-level players looking for a lower-cost bag.

Sharp and smooth, the clean exterior and matte colors of the Federer DNA Backpack reflect the aesthetic of one of the greatest tennis players ever.

This tennis backpack’s classy style and supreme quality surpass other top-line backpacks. The racquet compartment offers room for up to 2 racquets, while two main chambers give enough room for other tennis gear like clothes, balls, or strings. The felt-lined pocket offers a safe place to store phones, wallets, or keys. Another larger thermal-lined pocket keeps your sports drinks or food cold.

This backpack is perfect for all levels of tennis players and can easily function as a great school or work bag too. It has a padded back and padded straps for extra comfort.

This bag has enough space to carry up to six racquets plus clothes and gear for a weekend tournament. It has an external shoe compartment with a small vent. There is also an external side zipper pocket for smaller items like strings, grips, and personal items. Inside the bag, there is a padded divider to help keep your racquets protected.

There is a grab handle on the end that makes it easy to pick up. However, my favorite part of this bag is the comfortable adjustable shoulder straps. When I use this bag, I typically carry two racquets plus clothes and shoes for on and off the court.

Price | $$ Racquet Capacity | up to 6 Style | Duffel

• Great for travel
• Plenty of space for gear and racquets
• External tennis shoe compartment

The primary racquet compartment has an insulating lining and fits 3 tennis racquets. It can also carry 3-5 additional racquets in the main compartment. What really sets this tennis bag apart is the different specialized pockets. It has dedicated compartments for your water bottle, phone/wallet/keys, tennis balls, snacks, and even wet clothes/towels.

Buyer’s Guide: How To Choose the Best Tennis Bag for You

There is no perfect tennis bag for everyone.

The best bag for you will depend on the number of racquets you carry, other tennis gear you need to store in the bag, and your personal style preference.

Here are a few questions you’ll need to answer.

• What style of bag do you want?
• How many tennis racquets will you carry?
• Do you need to carry shoes in your bag?
• Will you travel with your tennis bag?

Competitive players who travel will need a bigger bag that can carry four or more racquets, shoes, towels, and other gear. Country club tennis players may only need to bring two racquets to the court along with a few small items and can choose a backpack or tennis tote bag.

Below, we’ll help you understand all your options.

What Style of Tennis Bag Do You Want?

There are four primary types of tennis bags, traditional style, backpacks, tote bags, and duffles. I’ll explain each below.

Traditional Tennis Bags

Traditional tennis bags are often in the shape of a tennis racquet and carry anywhere from two to 12+ racquets. They usually have two shoulder straps so you can wear the bag like a backpack. The smaller bags may only have one shoulder strap.

• Best Overall Traditional Tennis Bag: ADV Pro V2 (discount code: TRIBE)
• Best Low-Cost Traditional Tennis Bag: Babolat Pure Drive 6-pack

Tennis Backpacks

Tennis backpacks usually carry two racquets and have room for small items like towels, clothes, grips, and other gear. Some may come with a shoe compartment but that reduces the capacity for other gear when used.

• Best Overall Tennis Backpack: Geau Sport Axiom Tennis Backpack

Tennis Tote Bags

Tennis tote bags have become increasingly popular over the years. They are shaped like a normal tote bag or large purse, but have a built-in pocket for racquets that keeps them separate from other items. They usually store a maximum of two racquets with the handles angled back behind you while you carry it.

These bags often have a surprising amount of storage capacity and pockets for organizing your smaller tennis items inside.

Tennis Duffel Bags

Tennis duffel bags are great for the traveling tennis player. They offer racquet storage and protection alongside room for clothes, shoes, and other gear. Most come with two backpack-style straps and grab handles on the outside for easy carrying.

I typically carry two racquets, shoes for tennis, and normal travel attire all in my Geau Sport duffle bag. You can carry this bag on the plane as well.

• Best Tennis Duffel Bag: Geau Sport Duffle Bag

How Many Racquets Do You Need to Carry?

The number of tennis racquets you have will determine which bag you choose as well.

Recreational Players Who Play Locally Can Choose a Smaller Bag

If you’re a recreational or beginner player with only one or two racquets , a tennis backpack, tennis tote bag, or small traditional bag is best. In this case, you probably play tennis locally and don’t need shoe storage or room for much extra gear.

Competitive Players Who Travel for Tennis Should Choose a Large Bag or Duffle

On the other hand, if you’re a serious player who has four or more racquets and travels for tournaments often, you’ll need a larger bag. You’ll want to consider several factors like comfortability, storage capacity, organization, and more.

Large traditional tennis bags or tennis duffles are a great investment for the competitive player. They provide plenty of space, are comfortable on your shoulders for carrying through airports, and are built to last.

If you like to travel light, read our  Cancha tennis bag review . The bag was created by a former pro player specifically for travel.

Features of Tennis Bags

Tennis bags come in many shapes and sizes, but they all share similar features that you should know before purchasing a bag.

Racquet Storage

Racquet storage is probably the most important feature of a good tennis bag. Some bags only carry two racquets, while the largest tennis bags can carry up to 15 racquets.

The Interior

The interior of tennis bags can come in different design options. Some bags simply have a huge compartment with no organization. Others come with dividers and pockets, making it easy to separate your racquets from clothes and other tennis gear.

The Exterior

The exterior of the bag can be made of different materials, and it’s important to choose something durable. Some exteriors are weather-resistant, like the Geau Sport bags, while others are made of polyester and other fabrics.

Shoe Storage

Shoe storage isn’t important for everyone, but is crucial for competitive tennis players. The shoe compartment is usually at the bottom, or on the end of the bag, and often has some ventilation system.

Accessory & Gear Pockets

Accessory & gear pockets are important to store smaller items like tennis balls , water bottles, or personal valuables. You want something with secure zippers and enough space for your needs. Some bags have these pockets on the outside of the bag, while others have them on the inside wall for extra protection.

Racquet Protection

Most tennis bags have large pockets that keep your tennis racquets separate from the rest of your gear. Many bags offer extra padding to these pockets to protect the frames of your racquets.

Some bags also offer temperature protection to help maintain string tension in hot and cool climates. Most players don’t need to worry about this, however. All the bags on our list provide good protection for your racquets.

What Should You Keep in Your Tennis Bag?

Storage space is an important aspect of tennis bags, regardless of player level. To determine how much storage space you need, you should ask yourself what you want your tennis bag to hold.

Here are a few items people often keep in their tennis bags:

• Tennis Gear: Racquets, Shoes , Clothes, Strings
• Tennis Accessories: Balls, Overgrips , Water Bottle, Sunglasses
• Personal Valuables: Phone, Wallet, Keys, Laptop, iPad
• Other Items: Sunscreen, Supplements, Athletic Tape, Tennis Elbow Brace

If you’re someone who needs to carry a spare change of clothes for work or practice, then you would probably be interested in a traditional or duffel-style bag, which has enough space for both dirty clothes and shoes for tennis .

If you only need to hold smaller tennis items , then a backpack bag could be the style for you. The backpacks we reviewed above have great storage space, and can even double as a work bag. The sleeve for racquets can provide a safe place for a laptop, even on the tennis court.

If you’re an advanced player with 3 or more racquets or are looking for a larger bag to travel with, then the traditional style is the best choice for you. Depending on how many racquets you carry, you might need a 6, 9, 12, or even 15 racquet bag.

Note: A “15-racquet bag” is rarely used to carry 15 racquets. Most tennis players keep 4-8 racquets and use the extra space for clothes or other items. 

The Best Tennis Bag Brands

For many players, another deciding component is whether their bag’s branding matches that of their racquets. For example, someone playing with a Babolat Pure Drive might want a Babolat tennis bag.

If you are a player who appreciates matching brands, then an interesting alternative might be choosing a bag type not associated with tennis racquets at all, like ADV, Geau Sport, Nike, or Adidas.

You can shop for any of the best tennis bag brands below.

• Shop Babolat Bags
• Shop Wilson Bags
• Shop Nike Bags
• Shop Adidas Bags
• Shop Tecnifibre Bags
• Shop Geau Sport
• Shop Vessel Bags
• Shop ADV Bags

Conclusion: Our Pick for the Best Tennis Bag

With so many choices on the market, it can be challenging to determine which tennis bag is best for you. Many factors make a good tennis bag, and depending on your gear and skill level, some of those might be more important than others.

Things like capacity, protection, durability, and comfort might be more important for serious and high-level players who travel. However, functionality and style may be more important for intermediate or beginner players who play locally.

For us, the best overall tennis bag is the ADV Pro V2 tennis bag. However, players on a budget should choose the Babolat Pure Drive 6-Pack Tennis Bag . The Geau Sport Axiom Backpack is the best option for recreational players who want a smaller bag that’s easy to carry. The Vessel Baseline Tennis Tote is a great bag for ladies who prefer tote-style bags.

25 Best Tennis Bags to Ace Your Style Game

All products featured on Vogue are independently selected by our editors. However, we may earn affiliate revenue on this article and commission when you buy something.

The best tennis bags aren’t exclusive to those on the grand slam circuit. For many players, half the fun of tennis is the exquisite fashion that comes with the sport, from stylish tennis dresses to bags for toting extras like balls, a towel, a water bottle , and beyond. Sure, you could certainly get away with a sports duffle or roomy gym bag when bringing these essentials to the court. But why not lean into the country club aesthetic in full force by shopping the best tennis brands for a comprehensively thought-out look, proper tennis bag, and all?

Vogue ’s Guide to the Best Tennis Bags

• Best Overall: Tory Burch convertible stripe tennis tote , $395

• The Big Haul: Wilson Super Tour 6 Pack , $119

If you’re an elite player, you’re probably all for shoulder styles that can hold several rackets at once, plus all your other gear, from court-approved sneakers to accessories like a visor and sweatbands. However, you can go the racket cover route on the simpler end of the spectrum. Or, for a bit more carrying space to accommodate a change of clothes , a top-handle bag or backpack with a designated racket pouch or strap will feel perfectly sporty and chic. Like with a yoga mat bag , it’s all about function and figuring out what works best with your aesthetic and lifestyle.

Keep scrolling to discover 25 tennis bags as practical as they are stylish, from sleek black to sporty striped accents and beautifully modern and light iterations crafted of leather and raffia. Plus, customizable styles—who doesn’t love a good monogram ?
