Does anyone know if Holger Rune or Alcaraz uses the new Pure Aero 98?

Was wondering if anyone knew if they stuck with the 2020 Pure Aero Vs or if they swapped to the 2023 Aero 98.

Find some pics of the grommets at 12 and 6 o'clock. If the grommets are rectangular then they are using the 2020 PA VS still.

Aero VS, 99% of pro players never change. Also Aero VS was made for pro use primarily, while Aero 98 is a mass market racquet, altthough that is a clumsy description

Hes had some elbow issues apparently. I wonder if at some point he thinks of a switch in strings from RPM blast or a different frame?

Light Babolat with RPM Blast, what could go wrong?
(Should try 4G like Titsi, it'll **** him up even quicker.

Is it me or it seems the spin grommets are gone? The new PA98 perhaps?
