Tennis Racket Covers: From Simple to Complete

Tennis racket covers have evolved alongside the sport itself. Early canvas covers were often simple and utilitarian, designed to protect just the racket head or sometimes the head and handle. Some even featured small compartments for three balls. Over time, covers became more specialized, with designs accommodating the entire racket or offering extra padding and compartments for gear.

These days, rackets are mostly sold with no cover at all—covers have practically become extinct.

This page showcases a variety of covers, from plain checked canvas sleeves to more elaborate protective cases, highlighting how function and style have developed over the years.
