Tennis bags under $100
Under $100 covers most casual and weekly-comp tennis bags — backpacks, 3R bags and entry-level 6R options from Wilson, Babolat, Tecnifibre and Dunlop. You won't find tournament-grade thermal compartments at this price, but the construction is solid, the stitching is quality, and the design is right for any club player who needs to get gear to court without spending big. Most of these bags last several seasons of regular use.

For a backpack: the Wilson Advantage Backpack ($69) or Dunlop FX Club Backpack ($85). For 3R: Wilson Advantage 3R ($69), Babolat Pure Strike Backpack White Orange. For more premium options, see all tennis bags or specific brands like Babolat.
Frequently asked questions
