Best Lens Color For Tennis?

[BDHO]

What is the best lens color for tennis?
Im curious what lens tints the pros such as Tipsarevic and Stoesur use as they always wear oakleys for matches.
I think its one of the rose based colors.
I also assume they dont use polarized given the issues with depth.

g30

Really depends on the conditions and maybe surface color. G30 is a definite good pick because it works against blues and greens.

But if it's too bright I could see the case for just something neutral and darker.

I would say Fire iridium would be another really good choice.

The sunglasses worn by Janko Tipsarevic on court today were these Oakley Fast Jacket XL sunglasses (with the slightly larger lenses) in colour option 915610 – Polished White with Photochromic lenses, ideal for the changing conditions out on court.

Perhaps prescription transitions, Rx for sure according to this.

Oakley Enduring frames with Positive Red Iridium lenses is just one of many sunglasses.

Oakley Enduring sunglasses are Stosur's go-to favorite. The white frame option speaks to her personal style, and she relies on Oakley Photochromic lenses in competition. "The Photochromic lens has been my favorite since I first wore it, for the simple fact that you can start playing a match in complete sunlight and then the clouds come over before you know it, and it's a lot darker," stated Stosur on her lens choice.

thank you PatientCero.
Perhaps I didnt give enough credit to the transitions lens.

Outside? I'd go with VR over G-series. VR enhances yellows a lot better.

Not sure what the pros use but I use flak jacket with photochromic clear to black iridium and it is perfect.

I know the g series g30 is made for gulf to bring out the blues and greens. Aren't tennis courts green? Ball kinda of greenish/yellow?

It depends on the court. Grass courts are green. I'd think you'd not want to accent the court for tennis the same way you'd need to for golf. Golf requires reading the course, tennis requires following and reacting to the ball.

I'd still say the bright yellow would do better with a VR lens.
