Yesterday, I tried to figure out what racquet Alex de Minaur is using. Turns out, this 25-year-old tennis player uses a blacked-out Wilson pro stock racquet, just like David Ferrer. It’s basically a pro stock version of the Wilson Steam 99 with a 16×19 string pattern.
I dug a bit deeper and found out that he’s using the Alex de Minaur Wilson Blade Pro 98 v9 16×19 Tennis Racquet, and he’s got this Wilson Super Tour 15 Pack Tennis Bag to go with it. I mean, the guy’s a top ATP player, so he’s gotta have the right gear, right?
Then I stumbled upon a video where Alex was talking with Tennis Warehouse’s Chris Edwards about his shoes. He’s all about the Asics Solution Speed FF, and he explained why they’re so crucial to his game. It’s always cool to hear about the little things that make a big difference for these pros.
- So, I also found an interesting fact. The junior winners, Fernando Gonzalez and Kim Clijsters, they were both using Babolat racquets. These two soon became big names, and it’s wild to think that their racquets have been used in over 100 Grand Slam tournaments.
I also read somewhere that Alex uses the Wilson Blade 98 1619 V7 Reverse because it lets him play aggressively without worrying too much about mistakes. Seems like a pretty versatile racquet for all kinds of situations on the court.
What’s the Deal with This Wilson Blade 98?
It caught my attention that this Wilson Blade 98 is a big deal for Alex. Apparently, it’s the key to his aggressive playstyle. He can go all out without stressing over errors. That’s something I can relate to, even though I’m nowhere near his level.
I also noticed that Alex is making waves in the Brisbane ATP tournament. He even beat Raonic! That’s no small feat. It’s always exciting to see these younger players shaking things up.
All in all, it was a fun little research session. I learned a lot about Alex de Minaur’s gear and why he chooses the equipment he does. It’s always fascinating to get a glimpse into the choices of these top-level athletes. I really enjoyed it. I learned a lot.
