Tennis fans were delighted to find out earlier this month that the show will go on — at the US Open in late August and at the French Open in September. At least, that’s the plan for now.

It has been inspiring us to get our game on, too. And luckily, the sport is naturally adapted to social distancing which means we’ve been playing a lot more than usual. Serena, watch your back, girl!

The top new luxury tennis apparel collections Right Now

1. FILA

FILA has a long and distinguished history in the world of tennis and was established over a century ago by the FILA brothers of Biella, Italy. This season, we’re in love with their tie-dye Top Spin collection. FILA-sponsored tennis players Sofia Kenin and Diego Schwartzman will be wearing pieces from this collection. And we will, too.

This anything-but-basic tee ($40) is made of a moisture-wicking textile that also offers 50+ UV protection. Pair the featherlight racerback tank ($48) with the matching skort ($55) which comes with inside Forza ball shorts. Or be one-and-done with the stretch fabric dress ($65), which is reminiscent of our favorite ’80’s childhood tie-dye T-shirt. And how could we resist these chunky and groovy sneakers ($75)?

For a more monochrome look, FILA’s “Colorful Play” collection is so graceful. The ruched illusion mesh of this ocean blue tank ($65) paired with their essential, breathable short ($45) is a winning combo. Or consider this sea green ensemble with a halter style tank ($65) and flirty, flare skirt ($65). Feminine and sporty, this full coverage color blocked tank ($60) with an A-line skort ($65) has a timeless style. The FILA Axilus 2 Energized sneaker ($110) has lightness and style with enhanced rubber outer sole and molded, energy-boosting cushioning.

2. Denise Cronwall

Miami-based activewear designer and avid tennis player Denise Cronwall is inspired by Scandinavian simplicity and Latin warmth in her designs. Her creations are style-conscious – combining technical athletic wear with fashion. We love how easily her designs can cross over into everyday life.

The light and airy Valencia collared dress ($130) looks like two pieces. But it’s actually a dress, with clever and flattering gathering at the hip. Similarly, the NY Square dress ($120) has a flattering top layer attached, giving it a forgiving two-piece look and an elegant cowl collar. How sweet is this Luna top ($85) with spaghetti straps and ruffle straps that can be worn off the shoulders? It also comes with an internal supporting compression bra. Coordinate with a charming skort ($85) which has an extra compression layer at the waistband and back pockets for a phone or tennis balls.

3. Diadora

Italian label Diadora started out making mountain boots in 1948. The brand has since expanded to more than 60 countries, creating athletic footwear and apparel with a special focus on fashion and style.

For a more edgy tennis look, check out this vintage-inspired, nylon hooded tennis jacket ($80) that is fully lined in mesh. Underneath, this sharp violet and orange tank ($55) is made from polyamide piquet with a rib knit trim. Add to the angular lines with this soft and stretchy skort ($50). Or up the intensity and go for this electric yellow neon vest dress ($50) in a figure-flattering silhouette.

4. Hedge

Founders Antonia DiPaolo and Meagan Ouderkirk created Hedge with tradition and femininity in mind. Their pieces are designed to remain part of the collection forever; favorites you can still purchase if you need a second set or a fresh color.

This Edith halter ($120) is a modern take on the classic pique polo and reveals those toned shoulders while still being country club conservative. It comes with a built-in sports bra too. In addition to white and cream, it comes in midnight and hedgerose, shown here. Hedge’s skirts are classic and high quality. Choose from the bouncy Darrow box pleat skirt ($150) which holds its shape during high performance. Or the breezy and romantic Willa tutu skirt ($210) which has a light and airy silhouette, keeping you cool during play. We always love a good monogram- these wristbands ($10) can be embroidered with a varsity or script style lettering.

5. Tail Activewear

Cheryl Singer founded Tail Activewear in 1975 when she tired of wearing women’s tennis apparel that was neither comfortable nor stylish. And that they remained heavily skewed toward men. Her vision now manifests itself in a love for prints and fashion-forward styles, for which the company is renowned.

As shown, Tail Activewear does not limit itself to one or two prints per season. This lovely blush and grey tank ($73) and skort ensemble ($73) is inspired by spring gardens.

For something more bold, consider this tropical palm leaf tank ($73) and versatile black skort ($73). Being serious about sun protection doesn’t have to mean boring. This fun leopard print top ($69) is cool-to-the-touch with UPF 50+ sun protection to block 98% of UVA and UVB rays. And escape to London in an artistic Kensington floral printed tank ($73) paired with a bright pop of warm yellow skort ($73).

6. EleVen

Former seven-time Grand Slam singles champion Venus Williams decided to apply her intimate knowledge of tennis and love of fashion to her own brand of activewear.  EleVen is designed with attitude and confidence for peak performance.

We love the flattering lines and icy, chic color way of this tank ($78) and skort ($78) which comes with the shortie liner for coverage when you’re acing your partner. The Race Day Tank ($59) is one of EleVen’s signature styles. And this ethnic-inspired print would pair well with our go-to bottoms, the Outskirt Capri ($89). Feeling fierce? Then check out this Dynamo dress ($109) in hibiscus. And channel your inner Venus.

7. Oliver Thomas

Oliver Thomas’ irreverent bags might not seem like the most logical fit for the tennis court. But we think they are irresistible. For one, they are super lightweight and water-resistant. But most importantly, they’re quirky, casual and fun – something that we can all use a little more of these days!

This quilted citron backpack ($175) is loaded with function: 3 zippered compartments and tons of pockets. Customize it as shown with these patches full of attitude or your monogram. There’s also this tote bag style ($175) with an adjustable cross-body strap. If you’re looking for something more compact, this sling backpack ($125) carries just your racket and the essentials.
