If you have ever wondered what tennis rackets are used by the pros, then you have come to the right place, as I have compiled a list of rackets endorsed and used by some of the top players on the ATP<\/a> and WTA<\/a> tours including Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Iga Swiatek, and Emma Raducanu.<\/p>\n\n\n It is important to note that the rackets that are used by ATP<\/a> and WTA<\/a> players can vary greatly from the racket you buy from an online tennis shop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is because the pros customize their rackets by adding more weight<\/a> or by adjusting the balance of their racket so that they can hit the ball with more power and control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The pros will also often use an older generation of the same tennis racket rather than the latest generation e.g. Nadal uses the Babolat AeroPro Drive Original<\/a> rather than the latest Pure Aero Rafa<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The result of these differences is that a professional tennis racket will often play very differently from the retail version you can buy online or at your local pro shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In my own opinion, this is not a bad thing as the customized versions the pros use in the majority of cases are completely unsuitable for even advanced recreational players<\/strong> with some Pro players playing with rackets that weigh over 360g strung<\/strong>, which is far too heavy for recreational players to play with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In my opinion, it is better to get a tennis racket that suits your game rather than trying to emulate your tennis heroes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more help in choosing a new tennis racket, check out my guide on how to choose a tennis racket<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The below list details the rackets used by some of the top players on the ATP and WTA tours including Carlos Alcaraz<\/a>, Rafael Nadal<\/a>, Novak Djokovic<\/a>, Emma Raducanu, Coco Gauff, and Iga Swiatek<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As well as showing the rackets they endorse, I have also included (where possible) the actual racket they play with as many racket manufacturers<\/a> paint pro tennis rackets like those used by Nick Kyrgios<\/a> and Andy Murray<\/a> to look like the latest version that is available in shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Difference between Retail and Pro Tennis Rackets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
