I visited many shops in Barcelona which sell tennis-related stuff and picked these 5. I ensure you that these 5 tennis stores are all amazing. All of them have their particular strengths and uniqueness which I’m going to talk about so that you can find which fits you best.
(Before we start, I want to note that the stores are not in any sort of priority or order.)
So are you ready? Let’s go for it!
Where to find the 5 best tennis shops in Barcelona?
On this map you can see where the 5 best tennis stores are located. 4 of them are based in the center of Barcelona. Only Main-Draw Tennis Pro Shop is located in Sant Cugat (25 km from Barcelona’s old town).
Funny enough that Barcelona Tennis Lab and Sasco Esports are within 3 minutes' walking distance from each other. So it might be useful for you to check both shop’s offerings at the same time.
1) Tennis-Point - the global tennis specialist
Tennis-Point is located in the center of Barcelona in Eixample. The flagship store at Passeig de Gràcia, 99 (08008) is just on the opposite side of the world-famous Casa Milá designed by Gaudi. Click here to see the location of the Barcelona flagship store.
The 2-floor Tennis-Point store offers all that you need. Tennis rackets, clothes (including team clothing), shoes, tennis balls, and other tennis-related accessories. I particularly appreciate the wide selection of brands available at the store, such as the classical ones (for example Wilson, Babolat, Nike) and some that are more difficult to find at other shops (like Sergio Tacchini or Hydrogen). Also, the chain has its own brand: Tennis-Point.
When I visited Tennis-Point, the first thing I realized is how big this store is. The shop is divided into different sections based on product areas, such as rackets, shoes, or apparel. My favorite one is the huge shelves full of cool tennis bags of different brands. It just looks stunning.
There are multiple knowledgeable shop assistants to help out shoppers. During my visit they let me look around first and only then approached me. Thus, I didn’t feel uncomfortable.
A great benefit of the shop is that most of the products have a label with a QR code attached. If you scan it with your phone, it will lead to Tennis-Point’s website where you can see all the necessary details about the product.
You can also test rackets (only a limited number of them) as well as string your racket in the store.

Strengths of Tennis-Point: wide and deep selection of products (basically, you can find here any type of product)
Last time at the shop, I went to buy my Asics tennis shoes. There were about 8 different pairs to choose from, some with a discount. The check-out experience was pleasant and I walked home happy with my new red Asics shoes.
It’s great to check https://global.tennis-point.com from time to time as they always have some cool deals. Of course, you can order online too.
2) Match Ball - small but very professional
Match Ball is in Barcelona’s Eixample at Carrer del Comte d'Urgell, 109 (08011), 2 minutes from the L1 metro stop Urgell. Click here to see the Match Ball’s location.
The store serves its clients since 1997 and is proud to have welcomed tennis legends such as Arantxa Parra, Lourdes Domínguez, and Tommy Robredo.
Match Ball is a small but really professional store. The shop assistants are really on the top of their game when it comes to advice on different products. At the time of my visit, I was looking for new rackets. The kind shop assistant took his time to ask about my current rackets as well as the style of tennis I have. Only after that, did he introduce me to all the options I have, together with the possibility to take out rackets for testing.
Even though the cozy shop is small, it still has a wide variety of clothes, tennis bags, accessories, and more including multiple brands.

3) Sasco Esports - a wide variety of tennis gear
Sasco is a relatively large shop at Carrer del Dr. Ferran, 4 (08034), 1 km from FC Barcelona’s Camp Nou stadium. Click here for the exact location.
After visiting multiple stores, I was surprised by how big Sasco Esports is. Consequently, they have everything a tennis/padel player needs: rackets, balls, clothes (also for children), or bags. Sasco is another example of great expertise and a warm, welcoming environment. The shop assistants are really not rushing to make a sale, they rather give you detailed advice.
You can find nearly all well-known brands here. Sasco Esports offers stringing services as well as the option to adjust your rackets in terms of their weight for example.
A great addition is that the shop offers the opportunity to test out rackets before purchase.

4) Barcelona Tennis Lab - the racket expert with a unique interior
Located 1.5 km north from FC Barcelona’s Camp Nou, Tennis Lab is at Carrer dels Doctors Trias i Pujol, 7 (08034). Click here for directions.
This beautiful store is specialized solely in tennis, offering rackets and all that comes with them: strings, grips, bags, and more. Unlike other tennis shops, they don’t sell clothes.
The interior design of Barcelona Tennis Lab is simply stellar. It’s so unique and lean that surely you will remember it. But to be honest, it’s also thanks to the owners/shop assistants of the shop that you feel at home.
Their expertise is exceptional. I could not remember the name of my old Wilson racket so I started to describe it. The shop assistant had it on the top of his head after almost zero seconds of thinking.
If you want to buy new rackets, I highly recommend visiting Barcelona Tennis Lab to ask for professional advice and testing. They also offer racket adjustment and stringing services. Their references stand for themselves: they were the official stringers of the Barcelona Open in 2021 and they also collaborated with Wilson at Roland Garros multiple times.

I haven’t had the chance yet to visit the store in person but the online customer reviews were so great that they made it to the top 5 tennis stores in Barcelona list.
I grabbed my phone and called them. Clearly, they are not only kind but experts in the field of tennis and offer a really flexible tennis racket testing service. Also, they string rackets for both professional players and amateur players.
