    Pack at least one extra, well-strung tennis racket.

  3. Step 3

    Include at least one new can of tennis balls.

  4. Step 4

    Remember to pack first-aid equipment, such as adhesive and elastic bandages and a dry-ice bag.

  5. Step 5

    Pack extra T-shirts and a towel.

  6. Step 6

    Include a water bottle, energy drink, sunglasses and sunscreen.

  7. Step 7

    Put in extra wristbands and a hat or other headgear.

  8. Step 8

    Include an extra pair of shoelaces, just in case.

  9. Step 9

    Consider including a pack of vitamins and some snacks.

Tips & Warnings
  • Use only a specially designed tennis bag when you travel, so expensive rackets are not a visible target for thieves.
  • Make sure your bag has a separate compartment for sweaty clothes or shoes.

on 11/22/2005 It's been established scientifically that Gatorade used at half strength is just as effective as using it full strength. Make your own half strength cooler to take to a match. It's a lot cheaper, and it helps prevent muscle cramps.
