Great service. Rockets strung perfectly! Professional staff! Markup on merchandise is reasonable...they are in business to make a profit. Living in Brookland, it's a hike for me, but this is my new go-to spot for stringing, rackets, and merchandise in the DMV. read more

Do not use this place for racquetball racquet restringing. Buyer Beware read more

We came here by using yelp when we were looking for new racquets. The place is pretty small but they have great high end racquets for sale. However, it was out of our price range (140-200) without strings...and for BF as a beginner he doesn't need a s super expensive racquet. Ravy (?) the owner gave him some tips on how to hit the ball. He was SUPER nice and very helpful. We would come back when we need a better racquet. read more

Tennis zone is a great place to buy tennis gear, get your racket strung (they do all my rackets), get tennis shoes (they don't have tons of choices but they have a wide range of sizes for the brands they sell and they are great brands -- I love the shoes I bought from them. Also wristbands, tennis bags, hats, everything tennis. Very friendly, knowledgeable staff, they even introduced me to other tennis players, round-robins and events in the area. Their balls are on the pricey side, but I'd much rather give them my business than Bezos (Amazon)! read more

Top notch service. Had two rackets strung in under 30 minutes. They are knowledgeable about all things tennis, especially about the difference in strings (which other purveyors are not), and have the best selection of rackets I've seen in the DC area. It's the only place I'll be going from now on. read more

Girlfriend and I didn't know the first thing about purchasing rackets. We showed up and the staff were experts in their field, handling all of our questions with humility and grace. Ultimately, we found rackets we loved. Months later, we are thrilled with their attention to follow up service and record keeping. Tennis pros. read more

Awful customer service trying to retrieve a lost package. They make no effort on there end to resolve the matter. Most representatives are rude on the phone and argumentative. I will not be ordering from them again. read more

Was looking for a good tennis shop in DC for re-stringing and TZP is above and beyond. They were very knowledgeable about every aspect of tennis. The first time I went, there was some miscommunication about my racquet but Jose was incredibly responsive and took care of everything (customer service is something I truly value, and TZP definitely has that). Because of that, I went back a second time for restringing and I was also looking for a new racquet. They were incredibly knowledgeable about the demo racquets and listened to how my style of play was and gave great suggestions on racquets to try to meet my goals of play and I ended up buying a racquet I had used to demo. Turnaround time for stringing was super fast. Additional bonus is that they deliver certain distances in DC which is so so helpful and convenient. Definitely recommend TZP to any local players out there! read more

I've been going to Tennis Zone since it opened. Knowledgeable, friendly, and great stringing. And they accommodated a last minute stringing job to get me ready for a tournament. Keep them on speed dial! read more

A+ Place: Player and professional instructor for decades in several states and TZP is best stocked pro shop, along with expert advice for all levels for rackets, strings, shoes, and all things tennis (and pickleball)! Can't go wrong here. read more

I first visited the Tennis Zone in 2014 because I wanted to take lessons. I started taking lessons from Ravi, the store owner. He offered great instruction and accommodated my special needs. I have limited mobility and he is skilled enough to hit it directly to me, over and over again. I get to hit without having to chase balls. Also, I purchased all of my tennis gear from the Tennis Zone based on the expert advice given to me by Ravi and one of the employees who strings racquets. Being able to get my racket strung in just 2 days times is an added plus. Great store for tennis players. read more

Ravi is knowledgeable and extremely friendly. We picked up a squash racket for me and a tennis racket for my 7 year old, who's just starting lessons. We're lucky to have this business in our neighborhood. read more

Maybe OK for social tennis players. Not for serious players who know what they want.

Simply a great experience! The owner (Ravi) knows a lot about strings and is very constructive when I ask him questions (literally dozens of questions...) about how to string my rackets. The service is excellent and the turnaround time is short. Overall, good experience and will definitely come back! read more

I stopped in here earlier in the year looking for a racquet since I was interested in starting tennis lessons. The person who was working was clearly more interested in continuing his conversation than helping me and told me to write down my name and phone number and said he'd call when they got some in that might work for me. This was without checking to see what size grip I needed and without letting me explain why I was interested in a particular kind of racquet. Unsurprisingly, no one ever called. This shop is super convenient for me but with customer service like that, why would I return? read more

This is a great local business run by a very friendly guy. Ravi is very accommodating and better yet, knowledgeable. I have asked him many many annoying questions about racquets and technique, he has always been very kind in answering my questions. Racquet stringing seemed reasonable at $30, he is also capable of ordering any equipment you need. I live across the city, but I make a point of going to him because of the personal attention he gives. Every tennis player should use this great resource. read more

I went into the store to get my mother a tennis skirt. Turns out, they only have one tennis skirt and it is a size medium. What kind of tennis store would have only one tennis skirt in stock for women and keep a full range on male clothing? Seems pretty bad for business. read more

I bought a racket from Tennis Zone and take weekly lessons from Ravi, Tennis Zone owner. Not only is Ravi a credible instructor with impressive tennis knowledge, he is one of the friendliest people I know. He is a gracious and encouraging coach and is very flexible. His cost also seem to be very competitive for the DC-area rates. I highly recommend Ravi and his shop! read more

Just in the nick of time. surprisingly the tennis zone was still open late afternoon on Christmas Eve. Requested a stringing for a previous purchase, without hesitation though I know Ravi wanted to get out of there. He strung it! His staff would most likely do the same. Is not easy earning five stars from me but today He earned it. Definitely will tell others about the Tennis Zone, here in glover Park DC. read more

So...what can I say? I just love this place! I'm not sure how they get so much merchandise in this tiny store but any time I need something--amazingly, they have it in stock! Great selection of demo racquets and great & fast stringing service. The guys working here are serious tennis players & they know their stuff. When I brought a racquet in for restringing, and I accidentally bought the wrong grommet package from an online vendor, the owner, Jose, called the manufacturer to figure out why it didn't fit my son's racquet (new vs. old models). Jose not only sorted it all out, but he gave me the product ID # to make sure when I re-ordered I got the right one! Fantastic customer service!!! And they price match the online retailers--so GREAT SERVICE, IMMEDIATE DELIVERY , and GREAT PRICES. Oh, and if you can't make it to the store, for $10. They will even deliver your re-strung racquet to you--how's that for convenience? I used to shop mostly online, you order and then you wait, right? But since I found this place, I've bought a racquet, a pair of tennis shoes and grips and dampeners--it was really great (& weird) walking out of the store with my purchases THE SAME DAY. Seriously, check them out. This is a great resource in the DMV. read more

Tennis Zone is by far the best spot in D.C. for all things tennis. Ravi is awesome! Super helpful when it comes to selecting racquets, strings, etc. He also organizes tennis socials for players in the D.C. area. I have been here about a dozen times for various items, usually re-strings and have never had a bad experience. They are awesome! read more

Ravi is awesome. I thought his price for restringing my racquet was a bit steep, but that was my only issue. He is knowledgeable yet unpretentious, and he has integrity. A great coach who gives helpful tips-- someone who obviously knows how to teach and has been doing it for a while. He gives you personal attention, whether you're a new or longtime customer. Based on what I've observed of his interactions (on the court and in his shop), people trust him. I've only met him a few times, but I get a good vibe from him and will stay a loyal customer. read more

Quick turnaround and great string jobs - they text you when your racquet is ready. Generous demo program too - you can use the demo cost to credit a new racquet purchase. Pretty much endless selection of racquets, even from more obscure brands like Tecnifibre and Volkl. Guys in the shop know their stuff and love to talk college and pro tennis. Short walk away from the Tenleytown metro. It's hard to believe a shop like this exists in the heart of the big city! Big recommend for other tennis nerds! read more

Got three of my racquets strung and other accessories for $100...you're not get that anywhere in DC! Friendly staff...a must know about place if you're a serious player...or a weekend hacker! read more

Excellent store. I didn't need to go anywhere else, they had everything I needed. Ravy was really helpful and patient with me. I'll be back everytime I need anything. I highly recommend you try them. read more

Ravi was very nice and accommodating. My fiancé was looking for a beginner's racket and he made the process of finding the right one quick and painless. They also strung the racket while we had lunch next door. We will come back in the future. read more

This is a wonderful little tennis store - a real gem in a big city. I haven't played tennis in a few years, and had a few specific ideas on what I was looking for. They picked up on it immediately, and came up with suggestions that were spot-on and well-reasoned. The store is well-stocked and what they don't have can easily be ordered. Ravi and all the other guys are warm, knowledgeable and very welcoming. Pretty stoked about finding this place in the District. read more

This place is awesome! I was looking for a racquet for my Dad for Christmas and Mike was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I know very little about tennis and he was very patient with me, answering all of my questions (many of which I'm sure were pretty dumb). He helped me find a good racquet within my price range that is suitable for my father's age and size. Much better experience here than I've had at other tennis stores in the area. read more

Tennis Zone just opened a few months back, and I just stopped by the check it out. Despite a large number of tennis players in the District, there are very few places to go for restringing or other tennis needs. As much as I like Tyrone and the guys at Drilling, it's annoying to try and make it before they close at 6 and pay $40 for stringing. Ravi, the owner of Tennis Zone, is friendly and knows his stuff. I was able to get my racket restrung within an hour for $20 including strings. And the store is open until 8 most weeknights and 6 on weekends, which is nice. No more having to rush to Drilling before they close. And the fact that it's a few blocks from my house is definitely a plus. The decor is spartan at best and their selection is not as diverse as Drilling, but I'm sure Ravi can get what you need if it's not in the store. I would recommend Tennis Zone for convenience and cost. read more

don't buy a new racquet here. overpriced (i'm talking $50 over what I could've gotten it for elsewhere). which would be fine for supporting a local business that worked hard and performed good service. but this local "business" is a joke. they lost records. accused me of already having picked up a racquet that i did not order. didn't order when they said they would; didn't call me about the delay. sketchy policies. read more

they may be good--but since they didn't answer the phone throughout the day though they were open (I didn't leave a message, as I prefer writing) nor did they respond to my email inquiry (using their Contact Us address) for quite a number of days, I will never know. I just wanted to ask their prices for stringing a racket (no, they don't have it on their website). Couldn't afford to wait anymore, so I traveled a bit farther to RockCreek Park, where they strung it for $15 if anyone is interested... read more

Excellent service and very nice staff. I needed my rackets restrung the same day and they very kindly accommodated my need. The new strings and grips feel great. Thanks Tennis Zone! read more

I came in as a tennis beginner looking for a racket and a little guidance on what kind of grip, weight, size, and stringing to use. The owner gave me some great tennis advice, helped me pick out an ideal racket for my size/skill/pricerange, and gave me a price that was just as good as online competitors. This is a great store. I'll surely be back. read more

Ravi is great! Can't recommend this store enough

Ravi the owner is super nice, very responsive and knowledgeable. He has even dropped my racquet off at my workplace since it is a little difficult for me to get to Glover Park. He is a small business owner who deserves to be patronized in this era of everything online shopping! read more

it's so odd that i've just now found out about this place...that's probably due to the fact that i haven't picked up my racket in a very long time. but after finally vowing to get back on the courts, i decided to take my racket in for a well needed restringing. i'm not really sure what about my singular visit made me differ from the previous two five-star ratings, but i didn't walk about bathed in the same glow and satisfaction. nothing against the store, maybe i was just feeling smothered in the 110 degree heat. but at the end of the day, i got two rackets restrung with very quick turnover for around $55, which seems to be a fair price. read more

Excellent service. Excellent selection. Employees have been consistently good to work with and go out of their way to help. I always stop by when I'm in the area. read more

Semi hard to get too if you don't live or work in the area, but if you are in the market for a new stick this is the place. I walked in with a specific model in mind, almost ready to buy on the spot, but decided to take MJ's(?) advice and try another. As much as I didn't want to like that suggestion, that's the one I ended up buying. Given I'm playing more I'll most likely end up with another dupe or two depending and will most likely purchase through them. I met Ravi the owner, when I picked up and had a great conversation both were very friendly, helpful, and wanted to get to know me and my game. Wish the store was a bit bigger as clothing selection is a bit small, but honestly, that's not my priority. They had all the updated Head models (I'm a Head girl... I played with a Pro-Kennex in my teenage years however). But love how they are open on weeknights until 7:30. Makes picking up very convienent. read more

I used to get my rackets strung at city sports; Just got my racket strung at Tennis Zone (value $36 and great selection of strings) and a can of Pro Penn tennis balls. I have been going to city sports all these years. I wish I knew about Tennis Zone before. Awesome staff! read more

Ravi and Mike were incredibly helpful as my girlfriend and I selected new racquets. They both spent plenty of time with us discussing our options and let us try all different brands/models. We got a great deal on the racquets and strings. We'll definitely return for all of our tennis needs. read more
