Tennis: Australian Open

As the Australian open reaches is climactic final weekend, it’s sure to be an exciting final series of matches. Let’s take a look at what some of the pros are rocking over the course of the last 2 weeks.

The Pros Rackets

The pros are expected to be using the best tennis racquets out there. Some of the brands and models the pros will be using at the Open include the Wilson Six One Tour 90, which has long been a favor of Roger Federer, as well as the Head YouTek Speed Pro racket, which is frequently used by Novak Djokovic. Other brands of rackets the pros will be using include Yonex, Signum Pro and Pro Kennex. These are only a handful of brands of rackets the professionals will be using.

The pros choose those brands because of how reliable and durable their rackets are. Not only that, but the majority of rackets made from the top brands are extremely lightweight and easy to maneuver. The pros know that with their skills and these rackets, they have a good chance of winning matches.

Like the rackets and shoes, the clothing that will be worn by the professionals will be light, allow them to easily move around in, as well as be good at absorbing sweat.
