Elias Ymer is currently the best tennis player from Sweden and he’s been a consistent figure on the ATP Tour and the Challenger circuit for over a decade. But what is Ymer’s current racquet setup?
Elias Ymer’s tennis racquet
Elias Ymer is playing a Babolat Pure Aero 98 (claimed to be the VS generation) strung with RPM Blast. He customizes his racquets slightly. It is sometimes difficult to tell who plays the VS versus the 2023 edition, but Elias told me he prefers the VS. You will be able to tell a difference between the 2026 Aero and 2023 editions due to the new throat design.
If you know Ymer’s racquet specs or string tension, please feel free to comment or reach out on @tennisnerdinsta.
