Backpack that can hold 3 rackets

Hello, I am looking to see if there is a backpack that can hold 3 rackets comfortably? Many years ago I did purchase the Babolat team backpack from here, Tennis Warehouse. And while it holds 2 rackets comfortably and a third in the other compartment, there's not much room for anything else. It will work temporarily but just looking to see if anyone has had lucky fitting 3 rackets and other items in a bigger backpack.

I should probably note I prefer Babolat or Nike, but may consider others.

A few years ago I found (at a thrift store) a nice backpack with expensive-looking
fabric in an American-Indian motif. My rackets look really nice sticking out the top.
Inside, there is plenty of room for shoes, extra balls, and various odds and ends.
Not sure that a made for tennis backpack would be any better.

I can fit in 3 in the racquet compartment of the Solinco backpack and still have ample room in the 2nd compartment for my other gear (+ other slots in the front and the sides). Highly recommend.

Do you want a fully covered backpack or handles sticking out? One really good bag that covered the entire racquet was the Dunlop Long Backpack. I'm not sure they make a current version but they pack a lot of stuff and cover the handles. Bewarned it is 48" overall dimension, so not cabin luggage legal (although only the pedantic gate keeper will check!). Yonex also makes a similar version, which is 45", so I use that now. That fits 3 racquets, prostringer, glasses, a full frame mirrorless camera with 24-70mm lens and other stuff in one bag. I've used both for bicycle rides to my local games and they fit 8 balls, 2 outfits + accessories (headties, wristbands, socks etc), slides, shades, laptop (16" with powered travel adapter, and several USB cables, including 10' USB-C) etc.

So those long Dunlop and Yonex backpacks don’t hit the back wheel?

No it does not, but depending on your riding position, it can bump your head/helmet. I let the straps out to sag it over my seat. I have 2 setups for the bikes. The backpack is a quick run to the local courts, about 4 miles away. For my club, and the local college courts which are more than 10 miles way, I use a Wilson RF 6 pack, and reinforced the bottom so the bag doesn't sideways, and installed a Uniklip that holds on to the rear rack. The Wilson bags are the only rigid side bags, which really hold up well, and helps with aerodynamics for longer rides. Once I switched to that, I gained 1+ mph on the straights because of the natural airflow the shape of the bag gives from the rider seat. Quite amazed by that.
 
Thank you everyone. I'm OK with the handles sticking out as my current backpack does this. I did see the Solinco backpack, will check them all out.

Buddy with ADV Backpack loves it and with the rackets there is a cover you can choose to use for the handles. I'm likely getting the ADV backpack shortly b/c I just can't find a bad review or owners that don't really like the product.

It's an awesome backpack. It's easy to balk at the price but the materials, design, and quality are definitely worth it.

I already ordered it and am awaiting delivery ;) Too many people I know with ADV packs love them, one buddy said "few things bring me as much joy as this tennis bag". I ordered the backpack and can't wait!
 
ADV Jet Pack here, extremely well designed. I almost pulled the trigger to bundle the backpack with the kickstarter price too...

Kind of wish I did, a bit of regret here.

I just bought the Head Gravity r-pet that is/was on clearance here at TW for $59. It’s a steal for a great backpack bag.
