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. :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Racquet String Tension Clothing/Shoes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Agassi Head Radical Trisys 260 Babolat(G) 75 Nike Aresse Dunlop n/a n/a Karlhy Becker Estusa Pro Vantage Babolat(G) 64-66 Lotto Boetsch Head Prestige Classic n/a n/a Lacoste Bruguera Yonex Tecnifibre(S) 51/46 Sergio Tacchini Chang Prince Graphite Pro Babolat(G) 55-59 Reebok Cherkasov Volkl TR25 various 62-70 Ellesse Chesnokov Volkl n/a n/a Nike Connors Estusa JC AMX Babolat(G) 48-55 n/a Costa Rossignol FT 6.80 Polystar 64 Fila Courier Wilson ProStaff Tour Gosen(G) 60-66 Nike Classic 6.6 Edberg Wilson ProStaff Classic Bow Brand(G) 53-63 Adidas Ferreira Dunlop Revelation Tecnifibre(S) 68-74 Fila Forget Lacoste Equijet Babolat(G) 49-64 Lacoste B Gilbert Fox various 56-61 Spaulding/Nike Goellner Head Prestige Tour 600 n/a n/a Reebok Gustafsson Fischer Vacuum Pro MP Prince(S) 59-62 Reebok Hlasek Fischer Babolat(G) 57/55 Le Coq Sportif Holm Dunlop Revelation Pro 90 n/a n/a Asics Ivanisevic Head Prestige Pro Babolat(G) 48-62 L'Alpine/Diadora Korda Volkl Tecnifibre(S) 50-55 Ellesse/Nike Krajicek Wilson ProStaff Classic Babolat(G) 53 Nike Krickstein Yonex n/a n/a Ellesse/Asics Larsson Prince CTS Precision MP n/a n/a Reebok Leconte Fischer n/a n/a Lacoste Lendl Mizuno IL-F302Z Babolat(G) 62-72 Mizuno Mancini Head Babolat(G) 53 Lotto Mansdorf Head Prestige Classic Babolat(G) 53-57 Diadora Martin Wilson ProStaff 4.5psi n/a n/a Reebok Masur Fischer Vacuum Pro Mid n/a n/a Reebok McEnroe Dunlop Max 200G Pro n/a n/a Nike Medvedev Mizuno EXPZ MP n/a n/a Fila Muster Head Prestige Pro n/a n/a Lotto Novacek Puma Puma(S) 68/66 Puma Pioline Donnay n/a n/a Nike Rosset Head Prestige Classic n/a n/a Diadora Sampras Wilson ProStaff Babolat(G) 52-66 Sergio Tacchini E Sanchez Head Prestige Classic Babolat(G) 53/51 Reebok Santoro Dunlop n/a n/a Lacoste Steeb Fischer n/a n/a Nike Stich Fischer Vacuum Pro Mid Babolat(G) 52-59 Reebok Volkov Volkl Babolat(G) 64 Reebok Washington Yonex RD-7 n/a n/a Reebok Wheaton Head Graphite Pro Babolat(G) 48-55 Nike Woodbridge Wilson Ultra Wilson(G) 71-73 Diadora Woodforde Snauwaert HL-10 Polystar 86-92 Reebok ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Appelmans Pro Kennex Keron Babolat(G) 55 Fila/Nike Destiny Basuki Wilson ProStaff Classic Rucanor(S) 51 n/a Capriati Prince CTS Synergy 26 Babolat(G) 66 Diadora DB Mid Cecchini Miller Konika Reverse Tecnifibre 55 Diadora Coetzer Prince Graph.Lite XB110 Prince(S) 62 Nike Date Yonex RD-8 Babolat(G) 48 Yonex Davenport Wilson ProStaff 4.5 n/a n/a Nike Fendick Wilson ProStaff Cl. 95 Wilson(G) 64 Avia G Fernandez Yonex RD-7 Babolat(G) 66 Avia M Fernandez Mizuno Pro MV Midplus Babolat(G) 63-66 Nike Frazier Mizuno Pro 8.9 Prince(S) 68 Avia Garrison-J Yonex Cyborg 2700 Babolat(G) 57 Reebok Graf Wilson ProStaff Lite Cl Babolat(G) 59-64 Adidas Hack Prince Graph.II OS Prince(S) 64 Sergio Tacchini Halard Major Expert Tecnifibre(S) 55 Lacoste/Nike Huber Yonex RQ-380 Babolat(G) 62 Ellesse/Nike Hy Wilson ProStaff 5.5 Polystar(S) 64 Sergio Tacchini Majoli Prince Graph.
