One of their strongest advantage lies with their equipments in an intensified match- up.

Below are the different tennis racquets of the gents in the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) and ladies of the Women's Tennis Association (WTA).

* American Robby Ginepri is a professional since 2001 and also happens to be the first player to compete at Wimbledon with a sleeveless shirt on 2003. He uses the Babolat Pure Storm Team tennis racquets, a lightweight control racquet that provides solid feel at impact and is suited to a variety of playing styles. It offers plenty of stability combined with a comfortable feel at impact and zylon matrix in the throat.
* Belgian Kim Clijsters is a professional since 1999 and is currently not working with a coach but she was formerly trained by Carl Maes and Marc Dehous. She uses the Babolat Pure Drive Team Standard tennis racquets, a best- selling racquet offering high level of stability and comfort. They say that this is not what most people would consider because it fits better with the tweener category. However, it appeals to a broader cross- section of players. It is light enough to generate good head speed, yet still gives above average stability and comfort in the baseline.
* Spanish Rafael Nadal is a professional since 2001 and has begun playing the sport at the age of four with his uncle Toni, his long- time coach. He uses the Babolat AeroPro Drive tennis racquets, offering plenty of good accuracy from a crisp response. It gives great maneuverability, yet it remains stable. It also has lots of power to punch volley deep to help find the angles. The healthy sweetspot makes it a solid choice for a variety of any level.
* Russian Nadia Petrova is a professional since 1999 and admires hard courts because of her aggressiveness where she finds it easy to finish a point early. She uses the Babolat Pure Team MP tennis racquets, a light and control- oriented racquet. It has slightly stiffer frame, lighter weight and larger headsize which makes it more powerful. With a manageable 10.7 ounces, it is easy to swing fast that makes it a great choice for those who like to hit with lots of spins.
* American Andy Roddick is a professional since 2001 and has been one of the most celebrated athletes in his native land, being featured in non- sports publications ranging from Rolling Stone to Vogue. He uses the Babolat Pure Drive Plus tennis racquets, a more stiffer and heavier kind which is packed with plenty of pop along solid and spin friendly response. It is designed around the actual weight of Roddick's racquet which presents a touch more power and a smooth solid feel at impact.

To appear on the court like the other pros, bring in any of these tennis racquets when you are in a match- up. You wont be surprised anymore after the game.
