Summer is the perfect time to enjoy tennis under the sun, but high temperatures and strong sun exposure can make the experience challenging if you are not properly equipped. Below are five essential accessories to help you enjoy the game comfortably and safely.
1. Cap or visor
Protection from the sun is essential. A lightweight cap or visor shields your face from direct sunlight and helps you see the ball clearly without being blinded by the sun.
2. Insulated water bottles
Proper hydration is crucial for every summer match or training session. A durable, insulated bottle keeps water or any other drink cool for hours.
3. Sports sunglasses
Sports sunglasses protect your eyes from UV radiation and dust while improving visibility in bright light conditions.
4. Wristbands and headbands
Sweat can become annoying, especially when it runs into your eyes or causes your racket to slip. Wristbands and headbands keep sweat under control, help with grip, and allow you to stay focused on the game.
5. Sunscreen
No summer list is complete without sunscreen. Sun exposure without protection can cause burns and premature skin aging. Apply sunscreen at least 20 minutes before playing.
Tip: Choose waterproof and sweat-resistant sunscreens.
