Wilson Court Towel, white, 75 × 50 cm, 100% cotton

The Wilson Court Towel is a compact white sports towel made of 100% cotton, measuring 75 × 50 cm, with a red Wilson logo. It is sized for the court bench: big enough to dry your face, arms and hands between points and at changeovers, small enough to fit into a racket bag or backpack. It is machine washable, so it can go into the wash after every session.

Who it suits

A towel of this size is useful for anyone who sweats during sport, which is almost everyone. Tennis and padel players use it to keep their hands dry so the grip does not get slippery, and to wipe sweat out of their eyes before serving. It works just as well in the gym or at home: lay it on the bench or mat during your full-body workout and you keep the equipment clean for the next person.

How to use it during a match

A simple routine keeps your grip and your concentration steady:

• Hang the towel on the bench or the fence next to your water bottle before you start.
• At every changeover, dry your face and arms first, then your hands, and wipe the handle of your racket.
• On hot days, keep a dry corner of the towel just for your hands so they stay as dry as possible.

Pair it with a fresh overgrip and a sweatband or visor, and moisture becomes much less of a problem on court.

Cotton or microfibre?

Cotton towels like this one feel soft and absorb a lot of moisture, which makes them a common choice on court. Microfibre towels are lighter, pack smaller and dry faster, but they feel different on the skin, and some people find them less pleasant on the face. If you mostly play in a club and take the towel home each time, cotton is a comfortable choice. If you travel a lot or need the towel to dry quickly in a bag, microfibre can be more practical.

Care and lifespan

Wash the towel after each session rather than letting it sit damp in your bag, which leads to odours. Follow the temperature on the care label, skip fabric softener and let it dry fully before packing it again. White cotton shows stains quickly, so washing it promptly keeps it looking fresh for longer.
