Ladies and gentlemen, a tennis dress. I know. Hold your applause, we'll get there. Here is the honest version: the Spirit dress is a loose-fitting dress, not a compression sleeve, and if you were hoping for something that holds everything in place like scaffolding, that is a different dress and it is not this one. This one is built to move air.
The fabric is a moisture-wicking polyester interlock, with a breathable jacquard knit worked in for ventilation and contrast mesh set into the sides where you actually get hot. Head's Moisture Transfer Microfiber does the cooling — it lifts sweat off the skin and spreads it out to dry, which is a sentence that sounds like nothing until it is 34 degrees and you are down a break.
There is a double layer across the upper chest, front and back, for coverage. Two slits at the front let it move. And crucially, there are separate inner shorts, which is the entire ball-storage question solved without you having to shove one up a sleeve like an amateur. No built-in bra.
Wishbone logo, front and back.
It comes in green, which will look excellent against a hard court and frankly against most things.
Now, Ajmer. Ajmer is a city where the qawwals sing at the dargah every evening and thousands of people from every direction come to sit and listen, which is a tough act to follow and I say that as a professional.
There is also a mosque called Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra, which translates roughly as 'the shed of two and a half days', because a building that magnificent was apparently thrown up over a long weekend. Two and a half days!
I've had lunches take longer.
You will wear this everywhere from a hot morning of drills to a full afternoon of doubles, and it is also perfect for a bowl of Ajmer's sohan halwa afterwards, which is sweet enough to end a career.
Air in, heat out, shorts underneath. Everything else is decoration.
