Mischa Zverev Tennis Racquet
Mischa Zverev did perhaps the second biggest upset of the Australian Open 2017, when he in the fourth round beat world number one Andy Murray in four sets. He is now set to play either Kei Nishikori or Roger Federer in the quarter-finals. Mischa Zverev has had a rough and bumpy career with injuries and […]
Andreas Seppi Tennis Racquet
Italian Andreas Seppi has survived two five-set battles in the Australian Open 2017 and now has a huge test on his hands when he plays Stan Wawrinka in the fourth round (see my predictions here). Seppi doesn’t use any of the big name racquet brands such as Wilson, Babolat, Yonex or Head, but a smaller […]
Bautista-Agut Tennis Racquet
Spaniard Roberto Bautista-Agut is one of the ATP Tour’s most solid ball strikers with his rather flat, varied yet dependable play. At the time of writing he has just beaten compatriot David Ferrer in the third round of the 2017 Australian Open. Bautista-Agut endorses the Wilson Pro Staff 97 but what is under the paint, like […]
Yonex to fine players for racquet smashing
It was kind of about time…finally a racquet company has introduced a clause in their contracts that will penalise players for smashing racquets (click here to watch the best racquet smashes of all time). Yonex has decided to fine 12 players for racquet abuse so far at the Australian Open. This is likely a move to […]
Gilles Simon Tennis Racquet
Gilles Simon is now retired since a few years, but what was Gilles Simon’s tennis racquet? And what did you think of the Frenchman’s game? Gilles Simon Tennis Racquet Despite looking like Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in the above pic, Frenchman Gilles Simon is not known for a modern power game, but rather utilizing his opponent’s […]
Benoit Paire Tennis Racquet
Benoit Paire is a flashy French player with an affection for smashing racquets. He also claims to “hate Wimbledon” (see pic below for proof). The guy can play some good tennis when he’s “on” however and he showed that in this year’s Australian Open by beating Fabio Fognini in a tense five-setter. Benoit Paire was […]
Denis Istomin Tennis Racquet
Denis Istomin gave us the biggest surprise of this year’s Australian Open (some say the decade) when he, ranked #117 in the world, beat six-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic in a five set thriller: 7-6 (8), 5-7, 2-6, 7-6 (5), 6-4. “I feel sorry for Novak. I was playing so good today.” What racquet does […]
Feliciano Lopez Tennis Racquet
Spaniard Feliciano Lopez has been a breath of fresh air on the ATP World Tour since he became a pro in 1997. He’s still going strong and is ranked within the top 30, which is nice to see for someone who tries to uphold and rejuvenate aggressive serve-and-volley tennis in the age of massive top-spin […]
Reilly Opelka Tennis Racquet
There are so many promising American players challenging the established pros on tour right now that it’s hard not to foresee an American world number one within the next ten years. One of the players who have made the biggest waves despite his young age is 19-year-old Reilly Opelka who in the first round of […]
Marcos Baghdatis Tennis Racquet
Marcos Baghdatis made a huge splash when he in 2007’s Australian Open tore through the draw and despite a ranking outside the top 100, qualified for the final against Roger Federer. Federer managed to win that match and the title, but it was still thought to be the start of something big for the Cypriot […]
