The Swiss tennis player has received a wildcard for his last Australian Open, and has recently revealed the peculiarity that his racket hides, directly affecting his game.
"My racket is customized to my needs, with a specific weight. The racket's weight is tailored to how I like to play and my style of doing it. It's quite heavy compared to what is seen nowadays. It weighs 380 grams with strings. I've tried to change it several times, but I can't. For tension, I usually use 25 or 27," he admitted in an interview with 'Tennis Legend'.
🤯 "380 grammes cordée"! The weight of the Yonex VCORE racket of @stanwawrinka, aka Thor! The string weight is estimated at 15/20 grams, so his racket weighs between 360 and 365 grams unstrung! A club.
