If you’re a tennis geek like me, it’s always interesting to learn about the gear that the pro players use. One piece of equipment that is particularly crucial for any tennis player is the racquet.
It’s no surprise that many WTA players spend hours testing and fine-tuning their racquet selection to optimize their game. In this post, we’ll go through all the racquets used by the top 50 WTA players and see which racquets are most popular on tour.
Before going through each player’s racquet, let’s go through the most popular racquets on the WTA Tour.
