Is Zverev testing a new racquet at the Laver Cup in San Francisco? He was spotted using a blacked-out frame with a different shape to his Gravity Pro.
Alexander Zverev is ranked at number 3 in the world after Alcaraz and Sinner. He reached the semi-finals in Cincinnati and Toronto, but is not satisfied with his game. The main reason is most likely the recent Grand Slam results. A first-round loss in Wimbledon and a R32 exit to in-form Auger-Aliassime at the US Open. Zverev has higher expectations of himself than that.
If you have followed Zverev’s racquet story, you might know that he has been going in between the HEAD Gravity Tour 100 (22 mm beam compared to 20 mm for the Pro) and the HEAD Gravity Pro (his old Speed MP with the same mold). He had some success with the Tour at the end of last year, but later switched back to his standard racquet. He has also experimented a lot with strings and tensions.
What is this racquet?
However, the racquet search is not over. At the Laver Cup, he is using a racquet that has an 18/20 pattern, is blacked-out, but where the head looks between a Boom and a HEAD Gravity Tour 98.
According to rumors, it is a new racquet from HEAD, but it would be strange to release a racquet looking so similar to the Gravity and not put it in the Gravity family. So maybe it is a new Gravity racquet? If you have an idea, please comment below.

Could it be simply a Gravity Tour 98″ 18×20?
