The ATP Final – Djokovic vs Murray
The only logical final before the ATP World Tour Finals was the the showdown between Murray and Djokovic and before the semi-finals it seemed like the stars were still aligned for it with Murray playing Raonic and Djokovic vs Nishikori. But Milos Raonic was so close, so close in beating Andy Murray and should really […]
Guess the racquet – Sampras edition
It’s time to play a game. What racquet is 14-time grand slam champion Pete Sampras holding in the picture? As you might know, Sampras played a heavily leaded-up Wilson Pro Staff 85 (St Vincent) for most of his career, but the above pic is clearly not that racquet!
Current setup: Tecnifibre Tfight 315 ATP LTD
As so many of you readers understand all too well…when you’ve started playing around with different racquets, strings and setups – it becomes a never-ending quest.

John Isner’s racquet
John Isner might go down in history as the guy who won the longest tennis match ever when he beat Nicolas Mahut 6–4, 3–6, 6–7(7–9), 7–6(7–3), 70–68 in Wimbledon 2010, but besides that amazing feat of serving – he’s won 10 titles and been ranked within the top ten (currently at #19 in the world rankings).

What racquet does the Bryan Brothers use?
Well, the answer to that question doesn’t need to be hidden behind some hard to get paint job anymore, because Prince is releasing their extended length Prince Ignite 95 in a beautiful new paint job to 999 lucky customers. It is called the Prince Bryan Bros Ltd. Edition 95. It was simply high time for […]
Grigor Dimitrov’s Tennis Racquet
What professional players use and endorse are two different things. Grigor Dimitrov endorses the Wilson Pro Staff 97S, but uses a different racquet. What? Baby Federer. That’s what we used to call him, the stylish Grigor Dimitrov, with strokes that looked eerily similar to the great Swiss champ’s. But along the line and the years, […]
Nick Kyrgios Tennis Racquet
What racquet does Aussie bad-boy Nick Kyrgios play with? He endorses the Yonex Ezone DR 98 but plays with a Yonex Ezone XI 98. Tennis bad-boy Nick Kyrgios has been in the news recently due to his odd behaviour during his Shanghai Masters match against Mischa Zverev, where he pretty evidently tanked through large parts […]
Djoko meltdown, Murray number one?
Andy Murray is playing the game of his life and just qualified for the Shanghai Masters final after winning another encounter, this time against Gilles Simon, in straight sets. He might also be edging closer to becoming the world’s top-ranked player soon, because the current world number one, Novak Djokovic, has just returned from elbow […]
