![]() ![]() Up until 2010, Berdych was known for playing with a Dunlop racket, before making the switch to the Head Youtek Instinct MP series. It's no wonder he's been tearing up the competition so far in the early rounds of the 2014 Australian Open. Heavy hitter Tomas Berdych not only has some of the best sneakers in the Nike Zoom Vapor 9.5 Tour, but he also has one of the best tennis rackets-the Head YOUTEK Graphene Instinct MP-in his arsenal. The expanded sweet spot is fairly forgiving on miss-hits, and the isometric head design provides the same exceptional stability as you'd expect from pretty much any top-tier Yonex stick. ![]() The 97-square-inch racket has a head light balance for increased swing speed, thus allowing players to put more spin on the ball. With his favorite surface being clay, Wawrinka uses the VCORE Tour 97 for its exceptional touch and spin capability. Though, while his countryman plays with a Wilson, Wawrinka's weapon of choice is a Yonex-the VCORE Tour 97 to be exact. Stanislas Wawrinka is the best men's tennis player not named Roger Federer that the Swiss have to offer. The racket's ample 11.8-ounce weight allows players of Gasquet's caliber to hit some heavy balls, while its S-Tech Grommets expand the racket's sweet spot for improved control and just a more fluid stroke overall-no wonder how the Frenchman makes that world class one-handed backhand of his look so easy. His racket of choice-the Head YOUTEK IG Extreme Pro 2.0-is kind of the same. Veteran Richard Gasquet is one of those players who always flies under the radar yet somehow always manages to put up solid results. Moving forward, perhaps the Pure Strike could provide Tsonga the edge he needs to finally win a major. A slimmer frame construction and the 16x19 string pattern allow from greater power and spin, as evident by Tsonga's solid play throughout the early part of 2014. The Pure Strike is the ideal racket for a player like Tsonga, who likes to control the tempo from the baseline. Following over a year of development aided by player insight, the Pure Strike was used by Tsonga throughout Fall 2013, including in last year's U.S. After beginning his pro career with the AeroPro Drive-the same racket used by Rafael Nadal-the 28-year-old Frenchman switched over to the Pure Strike series. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is one of many top men's singles players on Tour currently using a Babolat stick.
