Cute and practical activewear for the tennis court

It's Australian Open season, also known as the time of year when Australians take to their local courts in droves to try their (fore)hand at this great sport.

Even if you're no Aryna Sabalenka (the defending Australian Open women's champion), tennis can be a really fun game to try out with friends. And unlike most sports, the women's clothes are really cute.

Most of these activewear pieces can be worn for other sports as well, so if you've got any New Year's fitness resolutions you've been working on, there's never been more reason to overhaul your sporting wardrobe.
