Black tennis bags

Black is the perennial best-seller in the tennis bag aisle, and for good reason — it hides marks, looks sharp at clubs, and pairs cleanly with whatever colour racquet, shoes or kit you happen to be wearing. The black bags in this collection span casual backpacks through to 12R thermal tournament holders, so whether you want a low-key commuter or a serious match-day setup, you'll find something here. Babolat, Wilson, Dunlop and Tecnifibre all offer their performance lines in black colourways.

How to choose

For day-to-day club play, the Wilson Advantage Backpack or Babolat Pure Strike Backpack are popular choices. Tournament players gravitate to the Dunlop ATP 12R Thermo or Wilson Super Tour Clash 6R. For full brand options, see Babolat, Wilson or all tennis bags.

Do all the major brands offer black bags?
Yes — Babolat, Wilson, Dunlop, Tecnifibre and Yonex all carry black colourways across their ranges.

Are black bags hotter inside (heat absorption)?

Will a black bag suit junior players?
