1. Tickets for Roland Garros: the ultimate experience for tennis fans

Tickets to a major tennis tournament, such as the French Open or the Paris-Bercy Masters, are the perfect gift for any tennis fan. These two tournaments have two very different atmospheres. However, whether it's on the iconic clay courts of Roland-Garros or in the electric atmosphere of the Accor Arena for the Masters, attending a top-level tournament is a unique experience, even for someone who's been there before! It's a chance to see the world's best players battle it out live, to experience the intensity of the matches and to feel the emotion of victory as if you were there. Whether for the first rounds or the finals, depending on your budget, giving tickets to a tennis tournament is an unforgettable way to share your passion for the sport and create lasting memories with an exceptional gift.

3. A book on tennis: relaxation, inspiration and/or learning for enthusiasts

Giving the gift of a tennis book is a great idea for fans who want to expand their knowledge and learn from the greats. From biographies of legends such as Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams, to technical books for improving your game strategy, or historical works recounting the highlights of Grand Slam tournaments, there's a multitude of choices to suit every interest. By giving the gift of a book, you're giving the tennis enthusiast the chance to delve into the fascinating stories of the sport, learn new techniques or discover previously unpublished anecdotes. It's an enriching gift that combines the pleasure of reading with a love of tennis.
Examples of books:

• Jeu set et Maths, a recent book by Constance Sénac de Monsembernard, a French tennis enthusiast. Through over 500 statistics, she invites you to rediscover tennis, from the late 19th century to the most recent seasons: https://amzn.to/3UJb4DK

• Think like a champion, by Jean Philippe Vaillant. This is one of the best books for players who want to progress in tennis. A true instruction manual for performance, it focuses in particular on the mental aspects of confidence and concentration. https://amzn.to/3Z1iIvU

• Last but not least, there are many books dedicated to players such as Nadal(https://amzn.to/3O5Gkt4), Federer(https://amzn.to/3YYAm3k), Djokovic(https://amzn.to/4hLqeSO), Agassi(https://amzn.to/3YZVSVk) and others.

 

 

4. Tennis apparel: the perfect balance between comfort and style

A new tennis outfit is always appreciated, especially if it combines comfort and elegance. Whether it's a men's T-shirt/short set or a women's tennis dress, choose lightweight, breathable materials designed for on-court performance. There are many specialized tennis brands (Head, Wilson, Technifibre...) and generalist brands (Nike, Adidas...) that make great clothes and are adored by tennis players.

5. Tennis jewelry or bracelets: a touch of elegance for fans

A tennis-inspired piece of jewelry or bracelet is a refined gift that lets fans flaunt their passion in style. Bracelets in the shape of a tennis ball, racket or other, these discreet yet elegant accessories add a sporty touch to everyday life. The gift of tennis jewelry is a thoughtful way to remind tennis fans of their passion, while adding a timeless accessory to their jewelry collection. And let's not hide the fact that this idea is aimed more at women.

6. A tennis bag: the essential accessory for transporting your equipment

A tennis bag is a practical and indispensable gift for any player, whether amateur or regular. In addition to easily transporting rackets, balls and accessories, a good tennis bag helps protect equipment and keep you organized. When choosing a bag, it's important to consider the size and number of compartments. For a player with several rackets, a large-capacity bag with several dedicated pockets is ideal, while a more compact bag will be perfect for those who prefer lightness. In fact, it's common to classify a bag as "6 rackets" or "12 rackets", to describe their size. Tip: assume that 90% of regular players use "12 rackets".

 

7. Tennis socks: comfort on and off the court

A strangely original gift, because at My-tennis we think it's a great idea, as few players buy tennis socks. Tennis socks are an essential accessory for any player, offering the comfort and support needed during matches and training sessions. Designed to withstand intense movement, they are often reinforced at friction points and made from breathable materials to keep feet dry. When choosing socks, look for models that offer good cushioning, a snug fit and good moisture management.

On My-tennis, we offer a growing range of models, completely adapted to everyday life but also for playing: https: //my-tennis.fr/collections/chaussettes

8. Tennis lessons or coaching sessions

There's nothing like a private lesson to help a tennis player progress. Offering a personalized coaching session with an instructor is an exceptional gift for a tennis enthusiast who wants to improve their game or learn new techniques. This type of gift leaves a lasting impression and is perfect for motivating a player.

9. The special gift for tennis teachers: funny, cool t-shirts

To thank a tennis teacher in an original way, a funny or inspirational t-shirt is a gift idea that's sure to hit the spot. T-shirts with humorous slogans like "Repeat after me: racket high!" or inspirational tennis phrases add a touch of humor and style, while enhancing their passion for teaching. Choose quality cotton T-shirts that are soft and breathable, so that they are also pleasant to wear during lessons. This type of gift shows appreciation for their work while adding a fun twist to their daily coaching routine.

Bonus tip: The gift to avoid for any regular player: a tennis racket.

Although a racket may seem like an excellent gift, it's best avoided by regular tennis players. Regular tennis players often have rackets that are perfectly suited to their style of play, in terms of weight, handle and, above all, feel. Changing rackets can alter their performance and comfort on the court. Above all, players generally want to try out a racket (several times) before choosing it. Unless you know the exact model and technical specifications used by the player, opt for accessories or complementary equipment that will enrich their playing experience without disturbing their equipment. If it's a young child or a beginner, on the other hand, it's a great idea - go for it!
