- Tennis balls by-the-case (sneak a look at what they normally use)
- Video camera and tripod combo (for filming their strokes)
- Commemorative plaques of tennis greats (Federer, Nadal, Sampras, Agassi, etc.)
- Energy bars
- Tennis book (biography of famous players)
- Lessons with a club pro (gift certificate)
Casual Player
These players use tennis as a stress reliever or way to have fun in the local park. Consider some basics:
- Tennis balls (because you cannot play without them)
- Gift card (for new racquet)
- Athletic towel (branded)
- Tennis gear bag (they probably don't carry one now)
- Wrist bands
- Cap or tennis visor (branded)
- Lessons with a local recreational pro instructor (gift certificate)
