adidas Tennis Shorts

When you're chasing down a tough return or serving a killer slice, you need to feel like you're at your most free and agile on the court. adidas tennis shorts make sure you can move nimbly and chase your best possible game. With a range of designs and inseam lengths, you'll find athletic short options tailored to your game and your on-court style. From streamlined styles modeled after workout shorts to pleated skorts, you have plenty of options to support your game. Two-in-one shorts feature snug compression shorts or built-in briefs for added support. Opt for the traditional look of classic white tennis shorts, or stand out in bold colors and dynamic patterns. adidas tennis shorts match with other pieces from the adidas tennis collection so you can step out in a coordinated look.

Because tennis is often played in the summer heat, it's important to stay dry and focused on the next point with sweat-wicking AEROREADY technology that manages moisture to keep you feeling dry and comfortable. Elastic waistbands and drawcords hold your shorts in place even through extended rallies, and deep pockets have room to stash tennis balls. Shop men's tennis shorts and women's tennis shorts by adidas, made to keep you comfortably in motion set after set.

Tennis Shorts Frequently Asked Questions

What type of shorts are good for tennis?

Breathable shorts that allow for range of motion are good for tennis. The best tennis shorts let you make deep lunges and wide lateral movements without restriction. They have moisture-wicking technologies like adidas AEROREADY that help keep you dry and comfortable. Lightweight fabric is important, too, especially in hot weather. Look for shorts with deep pockets, so you can keep extra balls handy and not worry about them falling out. If you like muscle compression and extra coverage, choose tennis shorts that have built-in briefs or short tights.

Do tennis players wear compression shorts?

Some tennis players wear compression shorts, but it comes down to personal preference. Compression shorts with technology like adidas Techfit offer both muscle support and coverage. Some players find that the muscle support helps keep muscles fresh and ready to lunge and also helps reduce soreness. The added coverage is nice for all the quick, widespread movements. Other players prefer to play with looser-fitting shorts.

How long should tennis shorts be?

When considering how long your tennis shorts should be, keep mobility in mind. Usually tennis shorts come in 7-, 9- and 10-inch inseams. A 7-inch inseam, which falls around mid-thigh, offers the least restriction and also the least coverage. A 10-inch inseam might feel a little more restrictive but is good for added coverage. A 9-inch inseam is a common choice, striking a balance between the 7- and 10-inch lengths.
