Tennis Shop Singapore: Where To Buy Your Tennis Gear
Looking for a tennis shop in Singapore? This guide sets out where to buy a racket, get it strung, and pick up shoes and balls, from sports malls and chain stores to official brand stores online, so you can choose the right place for the gear you need.
For a tennis shop in Singapore, try Queensway Shopping Centre for specialist racket shops and stringing, a sports chain store such as Decathlon for beginner gear, or a brand’s official online store such as Wilson Singapore for its full range. Test a racket in your hand before you buy whenever you can.
Queensway Shopping Centre: Singapore's Sports Mall
Queensway Shopping Centre at 1 Queensway opened in 1974. The Roots.sg heritage page on Queensway Shopping Centre notes that its name still brings to mind rows of sports equipment shops, so you can walk from one tennis shop to the next in a single visit.
It is a good place to compare rackets, strings and grips, and to ask a stringer about tension in person.
Tennis Shop Options For Beginners
A sports chain store is often the easiest start for beginners and families. Decathlon Singapore’s tennis section lists rackets, balls and bags, with Click & Collect, so you can order online and pick up from a store near you.
Chain stores suit your first racket and a can of practice balls. Check stock online first, as ranges vary between outlets, and our tennis rackets guide explains which grip size and weight to look for.
Official Brand Stores Online
If you already know the brand you want, its official store saves a trip. Wilson’s official Singapore tennis racket store lists performance rackets, mostly sold unstrung, beside pre-strung recreational rackets, plus shoes, balls, grips and strings.
A performance racket sold unstrung needs strings fitted before you play, so budget for stringing or choose a pre-strung model for your first racket.
Racket Stringing In Singapore
Strings affect power, control and comfort as much as the racket frame does. A specialist tennis shop and many brand stores offer stringing, and a stringer can help you pick a string type and tension for your level.
Bring your racket and tell the stringer how often you play and how the current strings feel. Our guide on what tennis string to use explains the main string types before you go.
Tennis Shoes And Balls
Tennis shoes give you side-to-side support for quick changes of direction, and a non-marking sole for hard courts. Try them on at a tennis shop with the socks you play in, and move side to side before you buy. Our tennis shoes guide covers fit and the court types in Singapore.
For balls, most shops sell cans of three or four. Our guide to the best places to buy tennis balls in Singapore compares where to buy them and which balls suit practice or match play.
What To Check At A Tennis Shop
Hold a racket before you buy it whenever you can: the grip size, weight and balance should feel comfortable for a full swing. Ask whether the price includes strings, and check the return policy for shoes in case the fit feels wrong after a session on court.
Online, buy from the brand’s official store or an authorised seller so you know the gear is genuine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should a beginner buy first from a tennis shop?
Start with a pre-strung racket in the right grip size, a pair of tennis shoes and a can of balls. You can add a bag, overgrips and a cap later, once you know how often you will play.
How do I know which grip size I need?
Hold the racket in your playing hand: there should be a finger’s width between your fingertips and the base of your thumb. A shop assistant or your coach can measure your hand and suggest the closest size.
Can I bring my own strings to a stringer?
Many stringers accept your own strings and charge only for the labour. Ask before you go, and bring the string packet so the stringer can see the gauge and recommended tension.
Should I buy a junior racket for my child?
Yes. Junior rackets come in lengths matched to a child’s height, and a racket of the right length is easier to swing and control. Bring your child along so they can hold a few before you choose.
