Has anyone seen him play and beat Sock? I haven’t found high quality pictures yet but he was playing a babolat with the very old white and red buttcap. Anyone know what it is? Funny to see.
edit:apparently a nearly 20 year old pure drive
Its normal. If they go to a bigger grip size it would limit their range of motion of the wrist/hand. I’m 6’2 with normal big hands and can easily play with a 2. However for a flat forehand I can imagine using a 4.
I always think it’s funny how we here can talk about what kind of grommets he’s using, but if anyone would ask him he’d say he has no idea what you’re talking about
I held them in my hand at the French Open and I thought they are really weak and cheap fabrics. Didn’t seem like a serious tennis shoe but more for the ball kids.
In next gen finals 2018 (or 2017? I think 2018) he was using 6.1, H22 and H19. After that he kept using the H22 for a small time but then changed back to the 6.1 quite shortly after that.
In cincy 2019 his last match with the 6.1 was against Roger. That tournament he was switching around a lot...
Tennis legend on Facebook shared the stats. I think it was on average 2-3kgs lower tension with Mannarino as lowest with 9.5kg instead of normally around 11.
