Aleksandar Kovacevic Tennis Racquet
Kovacevic’s racquet is a Wilson Blade 98 V9 16/19. But as usual with pro player racquets, it is difficult to know what is actually underneath the cosmetic. In his college years, he used a Blade 98 CV and I would assume he is still with that model.
Like almost all pros, he customized his racquets, but we are unaware of his exact specifications. He string his Blade with what looks like Luxilon 4G. Before that he used Alu Power and he has also played a hybrid of Alu Power and Element. Kovacevic is an exciting and creative player to watch, so if you have any info about his racquets or tension, please comment below.
