Sleeveless muscle shirts just look …unprofessional to me in a tennis tournament.

[LeftyMagic]

Thin straps are fine, although yes it becomes a bit of a musclehead look

The worst tanks are tight, with tight necks and tight armholes.

This is probably the worst example I have seen:

as a fan of those two guys and that era, this was bad. but those compression tanks were coming on big then but as an undergarment. idk why they wore it as a main shirt

 

[jmacdaununder2]

Bring back the 80’s fitted look from Fila, Ellesse, Sergio Tacchini, Australian, Adidas, and yes even Nike tennis were nice and fitted once with cool designs.

Agree: No tennis player has ever, or will ever, look more stylish than Borg.

Who's this? Literally never seen them before. I didn't know UA still did tennis either?

He has a Yellowstone ad in the arm, so he could be a worker from the park.

American Colton Smith

A long time ago, Robby Ginepri and other players wore UA sleeveless shirts on the tour.

 

[lacoster]

UA isn't in the tennis market, and I'm pretty sure Colton Smith just gets things off the rack as he's still got the remnants of the plastic hangtag on top of his adidas hat, with a KSwiss wristband and a standard UA sleeveless shirt you can get anywhere. I hope he gets a clothing contract soon.

And it isn’t a good look for tennis but perfect for gym and yoga workouts.

If you go to a 15K Futures tournament it's not uncommon to see some players with a different logo on everything they have on (although not necessarily sleeveless)--odd to see it in a main tour event.

As I gaze on these pictures I do believe that I can hear banjos duelling in the distance…

 

[jrepac]

some designs, on some guys, look really good. Particularly if they have the guns. But skinny straps are very wife-beater..a no-no. Rafa had it going with the sleeveless tops and short shorts, in pastel colors of all things

Is it okay for a muscleless guy to wear a sleeveless shirt?

 

[Rosstour]

Is it okay for a muscleless guy to wear a sleeveless shirt?

All depends on how the cut matches one's body type

 

[Deleted member 775640]

Is it okay for a muscleless guy to wear a sleeveless shirt?

Yes. But I'm concerned about your complete lack of muscle mass. How do you move?

 

[Dunlop300g]

It's ok for Jasmine Paolini to wear one. That's for darn sure! When in Rome do as the Romans do!

 

[onehandbh]

Yes. But I'm concerned about your complete lack of muscle mass. How do you move?

Robotics.

Long sleeve under a sleeveless is next level.

This looks so stupid

 

[innoVAShaun]

I had this shirt and the reverse-colored shorts. I hardly wore it as it resembled a lot of ladies' sleeveless polos.

oh yes i remember ppl were saying that when it came out

Reminds me of the high zipper neck with no sleeves that is apparently farshon - so your neck’s cold but your arms are fine?

Yeah man everything just sucks

In hot weather the collar keeps sun off your neck but not your shoulders and arms

Yeah why would any woman want that, so dumb!

 

[Bartelby]

Muscle tops suffer from the stigma of being more akin to under garments.

Wasn’t actually talking about tennis wear more referencing casual wear for colder weather, hence the comment about cold arms.
In hot weather if folks want to burn or tan their shoulders or arms, that’s up to them, but they should be aware of the skin cancer risk; just because folks have olive skin & don’t necessarily burn they’re still vulnerable, especially cumulatively.

I'd like to see cutoff jeans on the tour

Would make a nice addition to the cutoff hoodie line. Resurrect Challenge Court with cutoff everything and play in jorts like Agassi

 

[innoVAShaun]

Kypson with the sleeveless henley.

 

[Tranqville]

I got my first sleeveless tennis shirt ever. Still, no big side cuts, it looks classy. I just want my shoulders to tan more evenly, but I'm just not ready to play topless in practice. Stil, the sleeveless shirt will only be for tranining, not competition.

 

[Bud]

You forgot tummy rubs. Dude loves to rub his tummy between points.

He's stimulating his colon for potential peristalsis

He needs some colon bloom. More fiber is more fun.

 

[Shield]

I prefer the old Polo look with a collar myself, but sleeveless doesn’t bother me.

 

[FlatShot_V]

Atmane and foe now facing off in the all-sleeveless match.

 

[Shield]

Tomić is sleeveless as well lol

 

[innoVAShaun]

They were selling this Lulu tank at the DC Open merch store.

Looks good. He has been playing great lately also.

 

[Borg Number One]

I’m not a fan of the sleeveless look, but to each his own. Even with Nadal, I think sleeves look better and more professional.

 

[heavyD]

I love it. Considering all the shoulder rotation required in tennis, sleeveless shirts make sense. I just feel it allows for better arm freedom and cooling especially when things become sweaty. I've always been a sleeveless shirt guy because it just feels better so not surprised a lot of pros are going this route.
