The current British men's number 1 Cameron Norrie has 5 titles under his belt. He has been representing Britain over the last 10 years and has amassed an impressive amount of tennis winnings since stepping into the light.

While endorsing the Babolat Pure Strike racket, Norrie uses the Babolat Pure Control Tour racket and has used this for a number of years.

Andy Murray

Two time Wimbledon champ Andy Murray recommends the Head Radical range of Tennis racquets which offer the perfect blend of power, control and spin for the versatile tennis player.

While recommending the Head Radical, Murray also plays with the Head PT57A Graphene XT Radical Pro (pictured above), most likely a customised version that's suited to his own strengths and weaknesses.

Rafael Nadal

Rafael Nadal is using the Babolat AeroPro Drive racquet. Two-time Wimbledon winner recently stated that he had to make some changes to his racquet after his playing style became increasingly offensive, with Babolat preparing his racquet in one afternoon upon special request. 

The Babolat Boost Rafa has been reworked to combine power and spin so you can exploit every opportunity for winning shots.

Roger Federer

Federer announced his retirement from Tennis last year after a 20 year long career and will not be taking part in Wimbledon 2023. Roger Federer has been Wimbledon champion eight times. He used since 2014, a customised version of the Wilson Pro Staff named the RF97 with the only difference between the tennis racquet he plays with and the one fans can buy being a slightly higher strung weight of 366g compared to 357g for the commercially available racquet.

Roger also has a range of shoes in partnership with On Running, aptly named the On Running Roger which are designed to add a contemporary finish to any style. 

Novak Djokovic

 

Novak Djokovic has won Wimbledon a grand total of six times. He recommends the Head Graphene 360 Speed Pro racquet which comes with the Graphene 360+ technology, a combination of Graphene 360's energy transfer and innovative spiral fibres for enhanced flex and clean impact feel.

Novak's actual racquet that he uses is a customised Head PT 346.1 pro stock which Head have not made commercially available. However, if you start practising now and rise through the ranks, in a number of years they might offer to make you a custom racquet of your own.

While the equipment that the pros use are all no doubt great racquets in most regards, what's most important is that they are built to suit their individual playing style. Make sure you explore our full range of tennis racquets and find the one that suits you and enhances your game instead of hindering it.
