What the AI looks for in Men's Tennis Shirts
- Fabric
- Polyester or poly-blend wicking fabric, not 100% cotton Wet cotton gets heavy and clings during long rallies.
- Shoulder mobility
- Raglan or articulated sleeves, or stretch fabric, so the hem doesn't untuck on the serve The overhead serve motion is where poorly cut shirts bind.
- Collar vs crew
- Polo if your club or league requires collars, otherwise crew is cooler Dress codes vary by club and are sometimes enforced.
- Length
- A hem long enough to stay tucked or covered when you reach overhead Short hems ride up during serves and overheads.
