The Yonex SRQ 500 racquet was perhaps the most popular racquet on the women's tour in the late 1990s. Many pros such as Anna Kournikova, Venus Williams, Anke Huber, Monica Seles, Dominque Van Roost, Kristina Brandi, Gigi Fernandez, Zina Garrison ( and according to a certain website, they say that Navratilova used the SRQ 500 towards the end of her career)....these are just a few of the many women who used this racquet. If I'm not mistaken, it's probably equilvelent to the pure drive on the WTA these days. I was wondering was there any more Yonex players out there still using this racquet under the paint. Anna Kournikova used it for a long time. Even when she had her Yonex Ultimum RQ 1500 paintjob in 2001-2002, she still was playing with the SRQ-500 under the paint. Very obvious if you look at the pics. I think Anna played her best with that racquet. I think the SRQ-500 suits her game more than her MP-2i which she has used since mid 2002 and even up to now. Anyway, I was just wondering if there are any players left using this once very popular racquet. If Anna ever attempts a comeback, she needs to get this this racquet back with a new paintjob. She played her best with this racquet, IMO.This racquet is definitely one of my favorites. Anyway, here's a pic of Anna Kournikova playing with the SRQ-500 under the Ultimum RQ 1500 paint...
