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.
