Austin Krajicek’s tennis racquet

Austin Krajicek’s racquet is a Babolat Pure Aero 100. Most likely an older model with the more open string pattern; we would guess 2016. From 2023, the Aero 100 got a denser string pattern again, which is not everyone’s cup of tea. But you can find a more open string pattern in the Pure Aero Rafa. Like most Babolat players, you can assume Krajicek’s is using RPM Team or Blast as his string setup, but if you have more information about Krajicek’s racquet specs, please feel free to comment below.
