Raducanu’s tennis racket slices a blade through the opposition
It is the racket that fired Aryna Sabalenka to 2024 Australian Open glory and propelled Stefanos Tsitsipas to Monte Carlo Masters success last month, now the Wilson Blade V9 has been given the Tennis365 treatment.
2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu is another who uses the Wilson Blade franchise that has established itself as the most used racket on both the ATP and WTA Pro Tours.
Serena Williams notably chose a prototype of the original Blade to secure victory at the 2007 Australian Open, marking the beginning of a remarkable journey.
The American icon went on to win 16 of her 23 Grand Slam singles titles with various versions of the Blade, cementing its place in history as the ultimate weapon of choice for champions.
Our pals at Wilson sent us the brand new Blade with an 18×20 string pattern and we got our in-house LTA-qualified Level 2 coach Kevin Palmer to test it out.
