Thiago Agustín Tirante, an Argentine player with a career high rank of no 50 and a really strong forehand, also previous ITF junior world number 1 . But what is Agustin Tirante’s current racquet and gear?
Tirante’s tennis racquet
Thiago Agustin Tirante’s tennis racquet is a Wilson Defyer. I have heard it is the Defyer 100, but that information is unverified so it could be the popular Defyer 98 Pro. He has switched from his Blade 98 Pro (H22) and that change seems to have been good for his game. He is still playing with a full bed of Luxilon 4G. You can check out our Wilson Defyer review here.
