In summer, most people play tennis outdoors, while training sessions are moved indoors in winter. Perhaps even more importantly, a short-sleeved shirt offers your arms a greater deal of mobility. This is crucial in a sport where moving your arms are as pivotal as it is in tennis. The fabric your tennis shirt is made from must then be flexible.
