In Pictures: Tennis influencer Rachel Stuhlmann rocks red sweater & white skirt for 'cozy' winter practice ahead of Christmas 2024

Tennis influencer Rachel Stuhlmann decided to hit the court during the Christmas season. Instead of using regular tennis gear to train, she opted for a different approach by donning a cozy red sweater.

With over 300k followers on Instagram, Stuhlmann is a prominent tennis influencer. She started playing tennis at an early age and reached a USTA Junior Circuit ranking of 59. She played for the University of Missouri and later transitioned to coaching before moving into writing and commentary. At 32, her expertise and tennis content on social media have led to her being named the "World's No. 1 tennis influencer" by Outkick.

On Monday, Stuhlmann shared a couple of images from her time on the court. She wore a red sweater along with white shorts featuring flowery designs. She also posted a few pictures with a Gucci bag filled with tennis balls.

In the caption of the images, she mentioned that it was a cozy tennis practice and included a series of love emojis and a Christmas tree emoji.

“Cozy tennis practice,” she wrote.

In an October interview with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, Rachel Stuhlmann mentioned that Paige Spiranac inspired her fashion choices in the traditionally conservative sport of tennis. Stuhlmann praised Spiranac for her significant impact on golf and sports fashion, saying she hopes to bring similar changes to tennis.

Stuhlmann added that while her role in tennis is unique, she aspires to influence the sport in the same way Spiranac has with golf.

"It’s a scary thing being in such a conservative sport and wearing a V-cut shirt or a crop top and Paige Spiranac has always been someone that I’ve looked up to," she said.

"There’s really no playbook for what I do in tennis. No one else has this kind of position in the sport like I do, but if I was to say there’s someone that I admire or look to, it would be Paige because she’s been so impactful within the sport of golf. I’m trying to make a very similar impact in tennis," she added.

Paige Spiranac played Division 1 college golf, leading the Aztecs to their first Mountain West Conference Championship. She also competed in events like the 2016 CoBank Colorado Women's Open, earning $8,010 that year. Since retiring from golf, Spiranac has focused on writing, modeling, and ambassador roles for brands like Parsons Xtreme Golf (PXG), 18Birdies, Mizzen + Main, and Philip Stein Watches.
