Founder Story
FOUNDER’S STORY: Tennis has been the common thread.
Tennis has always been more than just a sport to me—it's been a journey of personal growth, connection, and community. From weekend lessons to a summer job as a tennis instructor and eventually joining a women’s league that’s become an incredible social circle, tennis has been the common thread weaving through my life. But the true spirit of Après-Tennis didn’t emerge until I organized a fundraiser for the LGBTQ+ Community Center.
The t-shirts that started it all.
At the event, we sold t-shirts featuring a vintage image of tennis players laughing and holding drinks. Watching that image come to life—players, friends, and newcomers all connecting, laughing, and bonding—I realized that the heart of tennis lies beyond the court.
The brand was born from these moments that transcended the game itself,
as they occur Après-Tennis.
VISION: Strength from our sense of belonging.
Having been conceived from a fundraiser, Après-Tennis is committed to fostering belonging within the tennis community and supporting initiatives that promote unity and inclusivity.
MISSION: Après-Tennis isn’t just another tennis apparel brand.
When you wear Après-Tennis, you’re embracing a lifestyle rooted in connection and camaraderie. Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a casual doubles player, or a league competitor, our apparel sparks conversations and inspires tennis friendships.
When fashion speaks the same language.
Y(OUR) AMBITIONS: We aspire to be the go-to brand for tennis team uniforms.
Wearing Après-Tennis is about belonging to something greater—a community built on friendship, connection, and support. Our thoughtfully designed collections create a sense of harmony, ensuring every player feels like part of the team. Whether you prefer shorts or skirts, tank tops or long sleeves, Après-Tennis makes everyone feel included. Our ultimate goal is for Après-Tennis clothing to become a shared symbol that brings people closer together.
