What racquet does Casper Ruud use?

Yesterday, Casper Ruud beat Fabio Fognini in straight sets at the Monte Carlo Masters to set up a place in the semi-finals against Andrey Rublev (who impressively beat Rafa Nadal in a thriller […]
What racquet does Dan Evans use?
I got a few questions about Dan Evans racquet and since my old post didn’t have all the info, it was time for an update. What racquet does Dan Evans use? I wrote about Dan Evans defeating Novak Djokovic at the Monte Carlo Masters yesterday and I linked to my old post about his racquet. […]
Dan Evans Defeats Novak Djokovic with the slice
It’s a pretty big headline from the Monte Carlo Masters: Dan Evans Defeats Novak Djokovic. I will get to why I added: “with the slice”.

Federer scheduled to play Madrid Masters
Did you think Federer would skip the clay? I was quite frankly surprised to see Federer scheduled to play Madrid Masters. I had kind of taken it for granted that Federer would sit out most (if not all) of the clay court season to prepare his body for the grass, meaning Wimbledon and the Olympics, […]
Ash Barty’s Racquet
Ash Barty is the number one women player in the world at the moment. But what is Ash Barty’s racquet? Ash Barty has a beautiful game, hits the ball very cleanly and uses a mix of an efficient slice on the backhand side, with a powerful forehand and an all-court game that is confident also […]
Player to watch: Hubert Hurkacz
Some players silently improve and rise through the ranks, while some do it with a bang. Hubert Hurkacz belongs to the first category.

Sinner exploded onto […]
