    No need for near vision playing tennis....single vision. Otherwise if you insist on a pal, how about Image? I own a pair in some Oakley's and I'm totally impressed with the width of clear vision in distance. Not my first choice when reading is important, as it seems to have a really small reading area, but definitely usable when/if needed.

    If they are happy in the Comfort do not change them.

    You're lucky you are not in the USA where the distortion that a progressive produces could give a personal injury lawyer a reason to sue you if the player gets injured.

    Here they should have a safety frame for racket sports in a single vision safety lens.

    Regards

    Soft Toric Contact lenses or single lens is good choice for play tennis.

    But if the client need Pals ... I think Varilux Panamic is better than
    Varilux comfort.

    If have high budget ... should be used Freeform Pals for this Rx.
