Hopman Cup: Zverev beats Federer
Alexander Zverev played a super match against Roger Federer at the Hopman Cup and beat the Swiss maestro in three tie-break sets 7-6 6-7 7-6. Both players looked really sharp in a match that pretty much had everything. I think this week already shows us that the young guns are ready to make big things […]
Dolgopolov looking for a sponsor
One of the tour’s most creative and exciting players Alexandr Dolgopolov (“the Dog”) is back from injury timeout and finds himself as nr 62 on the ATP World Tour official ranking list. It is always tough for a player to come back from injury and Dolgopolov’s comeback wasn’t made easier as Rafael Nadal was on […]
Kei Nishikori to Nike Vapor Tour
Kei Nishikori has been an Adidas Barricade tennis shoe user for as long as I’m familiar, but in recent footage found on the ATP World Tour website he is sporting red Nike Vapor Tour 9.5s. Nishikori is using a Wilson racquet and Uniqlo tennis wear. The Nike Vapor Tour 9.5 are one of my personal […]

John Peers to Wilson
Doubles professional John Peers has gone from his 18×20 patterned Prince TexTreme Tour 95 (which is a great racquet according to my humble opinion – read my review) to some kind of Wilson Pro staff 97 (could be a pro stock model like Wilson H22 or Wilson H19, but not sure yet). Looks like the stick has a […]
Babolat Pure Aero French Open Edition
Babolat usually releases special edition paint jobs of their most popular racquets for Wimbledon and French Open. This is 2017s Babolat Pure Aero French Open. What do you think of the design? Should the racquet companies keep making special paint jobs for the grand slams? The specs is exactly the same as the usual Babolat […]
Roger Federer at the Hopman Cup
The Roger Federer fan craze is bigger than ever and the Roger Federer brand is the number one in sports. Today he was back in action at the Hopman Cup and beat Daniel Evans in singles and won together with Belinda Bencic in the new format of mixed doubles (4-0 4-1). Here he is jumpman […]
Borna Coric using Wilson Tennis Racquets
I wrote a post about Borna Coric moving from one Yonex to another (the Yonex DR 98) here, but now it is official – Coric is moving over to Wilson Tennis. This was revealed on his Facebook page: What Wilson tennis racquet will he use and endorse? It’s potentially one of Wilson’s popular pro stock […]
New year, new gear
The ATP Tour version 2017 has kicked off in Doha, Brisbane and Chennai. First action I’ve seen is David Ferrer swinging his Babolat Pure Drive Plus against hothead Bernard Tomic using a Head Graphene XT Radical MP A (actually a HEAD TGT 260.5 pro stock model). Ferrer was steady while Tomic slightly less so and the Spaniard […]
