Asics Men’s Match Graphic Short Sleeve Top and Shorts

Price: Top/$65; Short/$60

Constructed with a quick-drying fabric and mesh paneling on the sides and back to provide better airflow, this shirt is the ultimate in breathability. The matching 7-inch shorts feature a mesh waistband and a back yoke that's designed to help improve ventilation, while the pockets provide enough storage for two tennis balls. Additionally, the garment's lightweight and flexible material and hem slits help increase range of motion to promote on-court movement. An adjustable drawcord waist tie helps provide a more custom fit.

Diadora B.Icon

Price: $135

This first generation shoe is designed to be the lightest and most responsive Diadora has ever produced. Not only does it check those boxes, but delivers top-notch cushioning and support as well. It’s not perfect—the upper could be more durable and the laces can get bunched on the top of the foot if you use every eyelet. But in terms of instilling confidence in all forms of movement—getting to top speed, quick cuts, hard stops—these shoes are more than up to the task.
