Looks like his same Aero VS just updated to the Pure Aero FO paint job to me. Aero VS (or older Aerostorm) is a 16x20 pattern.

Oh my bad. I thought Felix played with the regular Aero since switching to Babolat.

He was with Babolat pretty much entire career back in junior days. He won his junior US open title with the original pure strike, didn’t use the project one7 instead keep using the original one under the pj for about a year and switched to pure aero VS since then.

Before the OG Pure Strike, it was the Pure Storm 98.

is this guy so important that there need to be two threads about him?

Yes
. And technically, there are 3:
Kidding aside, if I were an investor, I’d be buying big into FAA. I realize he’s only 19, but the kid has tons of potential. I suspect if he keeps working hard, he’ll easily be top 5, and likely a multiple major winner.Obviously things can change (look at what people said about Dimitrov and Gasquet when they were younger), but to me he’s one of the more promising ‘young guns’, along w/ Tsistipas and a few others.

Lets first see what the guy is doing at Roland Garros. I believe Nadal won already overthere at age 19 without being hyped, Furthermore Tsitsipas showed already better results too then faa. I understand them North Americans being the biggest tennis population and therefore graving for the next Sampras or Agassi for so long, still have to compete against talented Europeans, Asians and South Americans. Thusfar i have yet to see a real talented North American, but i m from another continent so i m probably more realisticYes

Recall the Ol' saying:? Its the Indian not the arrow? With his hyphenated last name, Felix is exhibiting identity crisis. If I were Felix I would pick one last name and stick with it. He should pick his African roots, Alliassime and go for it. Many Africans have French Canadian mothers but never adopt their last name.

Maybe he should adopt an ‘alias’?

In most cases one receives only the family name of ones father, that is when your parents are married. In some countries one can choose the name of ones mother. I never heart one can choose both and i certainly never heart that one can change ones family name once it is official. Only the great Mohamed Ali did this.
Furthermore i know the son of Richard Kraichek, who is a tennis pro also, choosed his mothers name because appearantly he did not want the be recognized as the son of a Wimbledon champion.
Medvedev is the son of a well known player of the past too but in Russia you cant choose, you always get the name of your father.

Daniil Medvedev's father is Sergey not Andrei.

so then his real Russian name should be Daniil Sergeyevich Medvedev so we dont have this confusion.

of course anyone can change their family name. All you have to do is file the proper paperwork with the local court.
