A REAL SWINGER Large head size and reduced weight equals the racquet for you. Why? Easy—contact with the ball. Factor in feather-light performance fi bers; an ultra-tough, grand-slam-thank-you-ma’am hybridcomposite frame structure (also a fave of Formula 1 racing); and reduced vibration on ball impact by up to 17 percent. HEAD YouTek IG Radical S racquet; $200, I Play Tennis, @head_tennis COURTING STYLE Let off (or generate) steam in this knitted—and fi tted—tennis dress. The girls send their, ahem, support for wide straps! Breathable stretch-mesh panels located at center back and on the sides are as cool as it gets at the net this summer. K-Swiss Wide Strap Dress, $85, REI stores in Atlanta, @kswiss MISTER TEES Soccer fans will recognize some of the sport’s biggest names—Cristiano Ronaldo, Yann M’Vila and Gregory Van der Wiel—as the inspiration behind Nike’s new collection of Euro 2012 shirts. Thanks to body huggers like these babies, the world knows of David Beckham. Call it football, or call it soccer. We call it sexy. $85-$150, Nike Factory Store at Discover Mills, @nikestore WHO WEARS SHORT SHORTS? Uh you, obviously. Picture yourself running to the net in a versatile, sunny-hued pair of shorts, with easyaccess pockets holding your next ace ball and the silky perforated fabric beating the heat.
