Zizou Bergs Tennis Racquet
Zisou Bergs is using the Yonex VCORE 98. It is painted like the 2023 but is most likely an older model. Most professional tennis players stick with the model they used in the junior years. Changing racquets every time manufacturers bring out new models is not feasible when your livelihood is made from winning tennis matches. Muscle memory is a powerful thing.
Bergs strings his racquet with what looks like Yonex Poly Tour Strike. We don’t know the tension for his strings or the specifications of his customized VCORE. So if you have any information pertaining to Zisou Bergs tennis racquet, please comment below.
Zisou Bergs is currently in the spotlight for his Davis Cup drama with Christian Garin.
Bio and Career
Zizou was born on 3rd June 1999 in Lommel, Belgium. He started playing tennis at the age of 3 with his father before entering the LTA Academy at 8 years.
Bergs turned pro in 2018 and made his ATP main draw debut at the 2020 European Open in Antwerp (now in Brussels) as a wildcard, where he scored his first ATP victory against Albert Ramos Viรฑolas. His early career was highlighted by winning three Challenger titles in 2021 (Saint Petersburg, Lille, and Almaty), which got him into the top 200. By June 2024, he had broken into the top 100 after defeating Alejandro Tabilo at Roland Garros, reaching the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time.
In 2024, Bergs defended his title at the Tallahassee Challenger, adding to his tally of eight Challenger victories. His performance at the 2025 ASB Classic in Auckland stood out, where he reached his maiden ATP Tour final as a qualifier, defeating several seeded players before facing Gaรซl Monfils in the championship match. His record against top-100 players stood strong, with a 20-14 win-loss record in 2024.
Bergs has shown talent across all surfaces, with titles on clay, hard and also grass courts. His 2025 season (at the time of writing) started with a significant win in the Davis Cup, helping Belgium advance. With a career prize money exceeding $1 million by early 2025, Bergs continues to climb the ranks, and also his commitment to charity work, notably sending tennis equipment to Burundi.
Bergs achieved a career-high ATP singles ranking of No. 60 in January 2025.
