Tennis specialty store in Chicago?

July 23, 2007 2:45 PM

Does anyone have recommendations for a tennis specialty shop in Chicago?

I need a place to get my racquet's strung and some new shoes. I don't want to go to your general all-purpose sports warehouse and would like someone that actually cares about stringing and finding shoes that fit me properly.

All I could find via web searching Chicago Tennis and Golf, but I don't know anything about it. Personal recommendations would be swell.

Bonus points for somewhere near the loop or in Lakeview.

Check out Your Advantage Tennis Shop, 3719 N Ashland Ave. It is the only place in Chicago I have had my rackets restrung, so admittedly I lack context. They did a nice quick job, though, and they meet your requirement for a small specialty shop. I was impressed that they recognized (and loved) my 16 year old Yamaha Secret 04.
