Tennis has a reputation for being expensive.
And yes, the costs do add up.
Court time. A beginner racket. Balls. Restringing. The occasional “I think I need better shoes” moment.
But in this 1-year comparison, tennis sits in the middle.
Estimated annual cost per player: S$1,135
That is based on playing twice a week in Singapore, 1 hour per session, doubles format, with court costs split across 4 players.
So if you’ve been thinking of starting tennis, the good news is this:
It is not the cheapest racket sport.
But it is also not the most expensive.
And for a sport you can keep playing for decades, that feels like a pretty decent investment.
