Is it a bit of an understatement to note that tennis is so hot right now? Interest in the sport has skyrocketed this spring with the theatrical release of Challengers, the new film by Call Me By Your Name auteur (and interior designer!) Luca Guadagnino. The movie, which stars Zendaya, deftly chronicles the stakes on and off the court, but it’s really the style that’s captivated national audiences. Aptly dubbed “tenniscore,” this new trend is all about the trappings that accompany a tennis-playing lifestyle: the totes and racket bags, the visors and skirts. And now, the tenniscore trend is coming for your home.
Some may take the trend more literally, expressing their love for the sport with tennis balls as a motif, adorning everything from cocktail napkins to welcome mats. Others will go for a court-scented candle (truly) or a court-inspired rug. Whatever your poison, we’ve got the best ways to shop the tenniscore trend right now.
