There's no doubt that tennis is a high impact sports. Each game requires you to chase after balls and give them a good whack! A good sports bra will help keep breast movement to a minimum and keep you feeling comfortable without any rubbing or chafing while you're running from shot to shot. We share our picks for best everyday bra, best bra for larger busts and best bra for smaller chests.

Best Everyday Sports Bra

Nike Swoosh Bra

One bra might not fit all, but this one comes as close as it gets. This Nike staple is a favorite of several of our tennis-playing staff. It's a classic sports bra, offering medium support with a compression style. It comes in your essential colors but also gets fresh color options every season, and that's one reason to love it. The sewn-in padding is also a bonus because you get the modesty and support without having to fiddle with pulling the pads in and out of the bra when it's time to do laundry.

ProsCons
  • Sewn-in padding
  • Lots of color options
  • Racerback is comfortable for swinging a tennis racquet
  • No major downsides

Best Sports Bra for Larger Chests

Brooks Convertible 2.0 Bra

When it comes to picking a sports bra with the most support, the Brooks Convertible 2.0 Bra checks all of the boxes. It comes in cup sizes. It has wide straps, and it's adjustable. And when we say it's adjustable, this bra is just about as good as it gets. The wide chest band has three settings (and we should note that it's three rows of hooks so it can really strap you in). The wide (and padded) bra straps are adjustable, plus you can hook them together to wear as a racerback or wear it unhooked for a scoop back. Another bonus, the neckline of the bra also sits a little higher for added coverage.

ProsCons
  • Loaded with adjustability features
  • Padded straps
  • Uses traditional band and cup sizing for optimal fint
  • Only lightly lined with no pads (which can be an upside, depending on whom you're asking!)

Best Sports Bras for Smaller Chests

Nike Indy Bra

The Nike Indy Bra wins in this category for its light support and inclusion of light padding. The padding offers modesty and some shaping, and the straps are also adjustable to ensure you can get a supportive fit. The skinny straps are easy to hide beneath your tennis tanks and tops, or on the flip side, the Indy Bra comes in several colors so it can be fun to style it to show off the straps too. We don't recommend this bra for larger chests because of the thin straps and lower neckline cut, however.

ProsCons
  • Lightly padded cups (removable)
  • Adjustable straps
  • Several color options
  • Support is low for larger busts
