Bag to the future

Why does Berdych use Head rackets in a Dunlop Bag?

As he is not sponsored by Head, hence the no bag and stencil. Weird that he is still using the Dunlop bag, guess he isnt really bothered. Thought he would just use a Nike holdall or something like Blade did. Guess it goes to show how vain we can all be bu having all matching gear at our level of play

I think that he may still be sponsored by Dunlop? From what I read elsewhere he is testing out the Head frame but has not yet signed a contract. This is also the reason he does not have the Head stencil on the strings I believe.

He has made two consectutive grand slam semi finals with that racket, thats his new stick, he may not be bothered about being sponsored. As for still being sponsored by Dunlop, nah, if so the Radical would be blacked out.

very true........

I noticed the Dunlop bag also during Indian Wells. Athletes are a superstitious bunch. He must think it's good luck

nah, I don't think its superstition as much as maybe he found a loop hole in his contact with Dunlop allowing him to use a different racquet but he still has to used the Dunlop bag. Either way, it looks weird because they bag looks like its about 10 year old.

I am pretty sure Head will want him to sign a contract asap. Then you will see the Head bag / racket stencil. I would bet money on it being before the US open. Although he's had the racket change since January this year.. so who knows :s.

I just realized that I created a second thread on the same topic. I feel like an idiot.

If he makes the Wimbledon final, I'd almost wager Head has at the very least a stencil on that racquet before the final!
