Tennis Memorabilia

From the grass of Wimbledon to the global ATP circuit, tennis has created moments that resonate far beyond the court.

At BUDDS, we bring those stories to market - offering collectors the chance to acquire championship-winning rackets, signed tennis memorabilia, vintage racquets, and unique gifts that define international tennis history.

We are the specialists trusted to handle both modern and historic pieces.

Whether it’s consigning a Grand Slam relic or securing a signed racket from an ATP champion, BUDDS connects tennis history with the collectors who value it most.

“The best players will vary the intensity of play according to the importance of the moment, will know how to up the tempo when needed, will judge when to play safe and when to go for broke. As in opera, the building of momentum results in crescendo - lull - crescendo - climax, an experience for both player and spectator that is not quite like the experience of watching other sports.”

- Elizabeth Wilson, Love Game: A History of Tennis, from Victorian Pastime to Global Phenomenon

Autographs
Books
Decorative Works of Art
Ephemera
Equipment
Kit & Clothing
Medals
