No. It took him 16 months to adjust to the new racket in 2013-14. He even said last year he didn't feel 100% comfortable with the new frame until the summer of 2015. So if Fed switches rackets again, he'll be almost 40 before he's comfy with it. Not gonna happen.

Nah there's virtually no difference between a 100 vs 97sq in.

I also recall a presser last year where he was asked and he definitively shut the door on it, saying he wouldn't be looking into a change at this stage in his career.

Why not 127 sq in?

He doesn't need a bigger racket, he just needs a smaller courtHe has been practicing with it :

Bigger racquet isn’t going to improve his movement, which is beginning to show more and more as he ages.

What? I could tell the difference between 95 and 98 blindfolded. How in the world is it possible that there is no difference between 97 and 100?

Law of diminishing returns. I'm technically not using that right, but at some point a bigger headsize makes no difference. I can tell the difference between my 95 Prince Rebel vs my 97 Prince Response while I'm blackout drunk. My 97 vs my 100 Babolat Aero Pro though has an equal amount of forgiveness. 3 more sq inches isn't going to change anything for Ol' Rog.

He needs a bigger heart and bigger you-know-whats, not a bigger racquet.

Isn't the 100 giving you more power? Like you might hit the fence more often than with the 97?

You'll get a slight boost, but not enough to make any real difference.

Thought the launch angle off the RF97A robbed Federer of penetration today against Tsitsipas
Looked like Becker strokes on grass, heavy spin waiting for a chance to go big. Tsitsipas just mashed everything
Tsitsipas and Thiem hitting much bigger
I would stay well clear of a 100
