Best Men's Tennis Shorts of 2025

Sometimes, it’s about looking your best and feeling like you have the threads to match the part. These selections are designed to be a little more upscale in terms of their look, material construction, and overall premium nature. For those high-end tournaments and vacation photoshoots, be sure to get yourself something snazzy. Our favorites are the Nike Men's Core Victory 7" Shorts. These shorts have fantastic versatility for all levels of play. One special feature to note is the pocket, which is designed to keep the ball from moving around too much when you're playing on court.

Sometimes, whether we like it or not, we find ourselves having to bear the burden of always having a ball ready to go to get the rally going again. Whether you’re a coach or just an altruistic friend, having deep pockets to store plenty of tennis balls certainly goes a long way to make you the most valuable hitting partner out there. Our winners for this category were the Under Armour Men's Vent Shorts, which boast incredibly deep pockets, easily storing more than four balls if need be. The shorts also have great shape retention, making them a superb choice for players carrying a lot.

(Note, not all sizes may be available). The clear winner for us was the Fila Men's Essential Modern Fit 8" Short, which is a truly incredible value for performance shorts. They also pair well with nearly any top you can think of!

In the heat of the summer, it’s crucial to make sure you are properly ventilated for all areas that really do need it. When we sweat, moisture-wicking material and dry-fit constructions tend to do a lot better in terms of how they last over time. Set yourself up for success in terms of breathability and feel the feeling translate to court. Look good, feel good, as they say. The best breathable option for us proved to be the Mizuno Men's Core Flex 8" Short, which combine great performance with great ventilation.

And sometimes breathability is not what one happens to be after at all. Sometimes compression or a tighter fit proves to be the right choice for the occasion, allowing your muscles to increase both blood flow and their overall performance. There are also a plethora of great two-in-one options, where a compression liner helps to improve court sensations. For our winner pick, our favorites were the adidas Men's Core Club 2-in-1 Shorts, which have a great compression liner that isn't in the way of functionality. Catch your favorite adidas tour pros wearing these as well!

While tennis is known for having lots of traditional and clean-cut looks, some of us like to make more of a visual statement with our shorts (we see you, Stan Wawrinka!). Check out these fun and off-kilter picks for some added flair to your style! Our personal favorite proved to be these snazzy printed shorts from Bjorn Borg, specifically the Bjorn Borg Men's Spring Ace Printed Short. Also consider Flow Society for fun, whimsical options as well!

In short, these collections of shorts offer something for every player. From the weekend warrior to the league legend, all the way to the tournament pro, and all in a variety of visual styles. Be sure to check out Tennis Warehouse shorts page for every option we have in stock!
