Sure doesn’t look wide enough across 3 to 9 o’clock to be what it’s painted as.
Older Pure Strike? Anyone know?

I count 20 mains indeed but why an old Aero storm instead of the newer Pure Aero VS frame?

Not really. Gasquet has much better backhand. I think even Thiem has better backhand

offcourse I meant 20 crosses. I noticed he can be accurate with his backhand and make very few errors with it. Maybe others hit harder, but there is a reason he has reached the semis when the others didn't .
Thiem maybe, Gasquet, I don't think so. Nadal absolutely owns Gasquet owing greatly to the fact that Gasquet cannot consistently navigate that high top to the backhand side. Thiem on the other hand can handle it.
Cecchinato seemed to be controlling most of the backhand rallies with Djokovic. What makes his so effective is how whippy and topspinny it is.

Because most pros don’t change racquets, sticking with what they settled on as juniors?

Im going out on a limb, but believe Tsitsipas and Shapovalov have better backhands but not yet mentally ready to make them the best yet. Tonight Thiem missed so many BHs it was comical.

Ceccinato is a clever opponent on clay with incredible defence it was not just his BH but his strong heart that he overcame so many

When Ceccchinato starts repeating this success on hard and grass courts as well, then we can start comparing him to Gasquet...

While googling the Italian i fount few photos in which he swung a Prince. So i dont think he uses the Aerostorm that long. By examening Tennis University numbers the bigger sweetspot of the new Pure aero VS compared to the old Aerostorm is obvious. Thats why he should use the better frame.

He obviously disagrees with you. And the majority of the locker room given how prevalent pj’s are.
‘Newer’ is only ‘better’ to the Marketing department.

sntis the pureaerovs just anaerostorm without the visible cortex?It is pretty clear that he does not use Aero Storm but Pure Aero VS as neither of his last rackets has Cortex

Such Aerostorm simply does not exist.
It is Pure Aero VS 2016 Model. And I doubt that Pure Aero VS 2016 = Aero Storm GT without Cortex.
I guess they changed layup quite a bit.

Anyone knows which tension? I´m sure it must be low, the ball comes off his strings super fast.
Nothing new just the balls and conditions at Geneva are super fast, if you didnt hear the commentators talking about it than you should have noticed the sound and speed from everyone is up.
The shots coming from everyones racquets sound like big cracks of lighting and should be speeds RG should try to aim for by using the fastest balls possible.
If you look at the draw you will see mainly HC players like Opelka and other impatient players there even Meds finally showed up but even clay strong Souza who usually makes more noise than the balls
do damage to their opponents is getting higher speeds than usual consistently and with clay force that Ruud is together are now finalists.
