Specialist shop · tennis-warehouse.com · checked on 27/09/2026
Tennis Warehouse is one of the world’s largest online tennis retailers. Founded in 1992 in San Luis Obispo, California, by Drew Munster and Mark Sczbecki, it started as a store and moved online in 1995. It has since added pickleball and padel, and opened Tennis Warehouse Europe (Germany) and Tennis Warehouse Australia. Its signature: racquet playtests by its own crew of players since 1999, and the first mail-order racquet demo program. It sells the major brands (Wilson, Head, Babolat, Yonex…) and ships internationally.
