Bags, bags and more bags! Shopping for tennis bags can be overwhelming since there are so many different varieties and variations. However, there are signature designs and technologies that help the premium tennis bags stand out on the market. Manufacturers are not only updating the designs to match new tennis racquets, but also adding advanced technologies to meet your needs as a consumer.

One of the biggest trends for 2019 is going smaller and more compact so players can use bags for more than just tennis. Below are our favorite new releases.

Head Gravity 12R Duffel Tennis Bag

This is a completely new concept for Head and, I think, a move in the right direction. The duffel style offers a more spacious and customizable bag to fit any tennis player’s needs. This larger size still allows you to hold up to 12 tennis racquets, if you need to, plus additional tennis essentials. There is a large outside zippered compartment that features Climate Control Technology+ to protect up to 5 racquets from external weather. Additionally, the outside bag material is made with polyester and thermoplastic elastomer for added weather protection. The large main compartment features removable dividers so you can organize the bag how you want. One side has a smaller accessory pocket for personal valuable storage, while the other side has a ventilated shoe pocket. The top features two adjustable padded straps that make it easy to carry. For players that want something smaller, Head also offers a 6R version in the Gravity color scheme.

Tecnifibre Tour Endurance Rackpack XL

Tecnifibre has been the lead initiator behind the new tennis duffle bag design since 2017. In 2019, they again update their bag line with their main push behind the Rackpack. What’s most unique about Tecnifibre bags though is their improved technology. Instead of keeping the thermal lining inside the racquet compartment, they shifted it outside to cover the entire bag. This Tarpaulin liner gives the bag stronger durability, water resistance and UV ray protection as well as making it easier to clean. The main compartment allows you to customize the organization and hold anywhere from 6-12 racquets along with other tennis gear. The flap on top also features two zipped mesh pockets for strings, grips, energy bars, etc. The bottom features a ventilated shoe pocket that’s large enough to fit 2 pairs of shoes, while the top features a premium padded carrying system. Players can find a great variety of tennis bags from Tecnifibre that all feature similar updated technologies. If you want something that pops on court but need more space, there’s also the White Tour Endurance 15R Tennis Bag or White Tour Endurance Pro 12R Tennis Bag.

Babolat Pure Strike Duffle M Tennis Bag and Pure Strike Tennis Backpack

Babolat is really changing up the way you think of tennis bags this year with a new Pure Strike Duffle and Backpack. These bags will coordinate with the color scheme of the 3^rd Generation Pure Strike tennis racquets, but these bags standout for themselves. The Duffle will be the bigger of the two and can carry up to 6 frames comfortably. This time around, Babolat decided to fully insulate the main large compartment with isothermal liner to protect your gear from extreme temperatures. This bag also comes with a large zippered accessory pocket, two bright red grab handles, adjustable padded backpack straps and a separate drawstring carrying case. The Backpack also comes redesigned this year providing players with more function, storage space and style. The large main compartment is now foldable, thermally insulated and has room for up to 3 tennis racquets. There’s also an additional back zippered compartment, a small zippered front pocket and padding throughout the back with adjustable backpack straps. Players that need a little more storage space can also get the Pure Strike x12 Racquet Holder Tennis Bag in a similar color scheme.

Head Sharapova Racquet Court Tennis Bag 

This bag is specifically designed by Maria Sharapova so she can carry it on court. The duffle style concept allows it to carry up to 6 tennis racquets along with other tennis essentials like towels, clothes, shoes, etc. Climate Control Technology + is featured along one of the internal racquet compartments for protection. The two adjustable handle straps on top make it convenient to transport. The bottom has a protected layer so you can set the bag down and not worry about it getting dirty. The bag material is made with a polyester/polyurethane blend so it can protect your gear from inclement weather as well.
