The body should stay at the optimum temperature of 30°C when playing tennis.
This is why it is important to have garments suited to your exercise level and weather conditions. Textiles for racket sports have developed considerably in recent years.
Here is some advice for how to choose your clothing.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR RACKET SPORTS CLOTHING The king of materials - polyester
 |
 |
A drop of water on cotton makes a distinct mark, whereas it spreads out much more on polyester. This property promotes diffusion in the air and drying. |
Besides being lightweight and easy to care for (wash-and-wear), its ability to diffuse moisture enables the garment to wick away perspiration produced by your body during exercise and in all weather:
• In cold weather: your garment remains dry, even during exercise, to prevent you getting cold.
• In warm weather: your garment wicks away perspiration and remains dry and lightweight for more ease of movement. In addition, by limiting the heating of your body, it reduces fatigue.
Colour:
The choice of colour of your garment is essential: we recommend that you choose light coloured clothing when you play outside in warm weather.
