-19- Pro Tennis Players' Racquet, String, and Clothing Information
Compiled by Natasha Austria
Last Modified: 7 Apr 94
G = gut
S = synthetic
MP = mid plus
OS = oversize
xx/yy = mains (ver)/cross (hor)
n/a = info not available
Note about string tensions: many of the players do not stick with one
tension, & often vary them depending on playing surface, weather, etc.
"xx-yy" is the estimated tension RANGE in which a given player is known to
have their racquets strung. String tensions are in pounds (lb.)
Though most are, not all players are necessarily contracted with the
company(s) manufacturing their equipment (particularly strings) or their
clothing/shoes.
The following are from the most recent sources I could find, but my apologies
for any gross errors. :-)
