Adolfo Daniel Vallejo (often referred to as Dani Vallejo) is a talented Paraguayan player. A former junior World No. 1, he has now successfully transitioned to the professional tours, becoming the first Paraguayan man to break into the ATP Top 100 in over a decade. But what is Dani Vallejo’s racquet and gear?
Adolfo Daniel Vallejo’s tennis racquet
Dani Vallejo’s racquet is a Dunlop SX 300 Tour, most likely an older generation painted like the latest Dunlop SX racquets. I would guess he plays it with Dunlop Explosive Spin in yellow. Dunlop’s strings are under-rated on the market for competitive players as they are firm, spin-oriented and controlled, but they are not ideal for most club players.

3. Davis Cup Hero
Vallejo is the undisputed leader of the Paraguayan Davis Cup team. He has been instrumental in keeping his nation competitive in Group II and Group I play, often carrying the singles load as the country’s top-ranked player.
Playing Style
Like many South American players, Vallejo is a classic clay-court specialist with modern aggression. However, lately we’ve seen success also on hard-courts.
He has great movement on courts and uses a heavy topspin forehand.
I looked up images of him online and found him using the regular SX300 cosmetic (not Tour). Don’t you think he is using an older 100 sqin SX?
He might, but looked like a Tour to me, however they are very similar so you might be right.
