I think it’s time we look at the racquets of the top 10 ATP players and what racquets they use.
I have done separate videos about almost all these players, but I think this video titled racquets of the top 10 ATP players will condense the information in a better way.
As you know, pro players rarely use the racquet they endorse. Most common is that they use their old frames, just painted to look like the latest version by their sponsor. The reason is simple: to sell more racquets. Nowadays, it’s pretty widely known that this happens and manufacturers are forced to write “endorses” and other disclaimer texts in their marketing. Still, if you’re not in the know, it can be misleading.
I hope the video below clears up some confusion around what the top 10 ATP players use. After that, it might be time for a video about the top 10 WTA.
What racquets do the top 10 use?
There is one updated 2025 version of the video and the slightly older one below. We also link to specific player articles.
The video deals with the top 10 at the time of writing. You can see the rankings below.

Is there any racquet spec among the top 10 that might work for a recreational player on a intermediate-advanced level?
In my opinion, many players do the mistake (check out the 8 most common racquet mistakes here) to play with a racquet that is too difficult for them. In most pro player cases, the racquets simply have a too high swing weight, which will make them difficult to swing and control.
However, I want to point out that both Alcaraz (check out the Babolat Pure Aero 98 review) and Fritz (an older frame, but not too far from the current HEAD Radical MP) play with close to stock specs of their racquets and they could be used by intermediate to advanced players. Jannik Sinner’s racquet is not super demanding either by club player standards, you can get the HEAD Speed MP 2024 to emulate that one.
Which top 10 racquets are you most surprised by, and do you think any of these players would benefit from a change?
