A tennis shirt, also called a polo shirt or a golf shirt, is a T-shaped shirt with a collar, (typically) two or three buttons down a slit below the collar, two small slits on the bottom of either side, and an optional pocket. 3, record 1, English, - polo%20shirt

Obviously, a "polo shirt" is designed for "polo players", but since it so resembles the shirt used by most tennis players (collared, short sleeves, etc.), it is unabashedly used by some club owners who do not tolerate the use of t-shirts on their premises. In general, however, most "polo shirts" are of heavier quality and simpler, one-toned design. Today's "tennis shirts" are colourful and light; some do not even have "collars". 4, record 1, English, - polo%20shirt
