You must be referring to doubles, because at last check, 2022 & 2023 Aussie Opens were Wilson, Babolat & Head (Barty, Sabalenka, Djokovic, Sinner, Nadal), and 2024 Wimbledon was Babolat & Head (Alcaraz & Krejcikova).
Correct. Those players are also grand slam champions (Hsieh Su-wei, Taylor Townsend, Nick Kyrgios, Heliovara, Hijikata, Siegmund).
Yes, I think it's referring to GS champs in doubles - '22 was Kyrios and Kokkinakis (both Ezone), '23 AO was Hijikata (Ezone) and '24 Wimby was Heliovaara (Percept). If you count womens GS doubles champs, there has been a Yonex player every year since 2012 (between Hingis, Hlavackova, Vandeweghe, Hsieh, Garcia, Babos, Siegemund, Zvonareva, Townsend)
Its a 2025 Ezone 98; cant confirm in its a + as I didnt measure it
it sure looks like 100 sq inches to me,, head is huge and she can't control it and spraying the ball all over the place against Rybakina
she should use 95 then
It's a 100? String pattern looks more like a 98.
Last cross is significantly lower on 100 than on 98.
100
navratilova is their savior. literally saved the company and made it world wide domination racket company. they should give her 50 % of the company
Yeah sure
16L?
Why not a 93?
Ha, on the ESPN coverage of the Svitolina match they were talking about how much better Keys was playing with her new racket (without naming the brand) and using poly instead of gut, and at one point calling the strings “Lux” (I’m not saying they really know the brand of strings)
Every poly string is "Lux" to most of the commentators that were former players I assume because that's all they know about. Luxilon was, arguably, the first poly string in wide use across the pro ranks and may still be the most widely used brand even now. When they talk to current players, Luxilon probably gets mentioned 7 times out of 10. Just a guess.
Probably waiting until the next tournament to switch to the new paintjob. I can't say that I can think of a case where a player has "changed racquets" in the middle of a tournament.
I believe Agassi did during one of the French Opens. He had some Donnay prototypes that were wide bodies. He may have even broken them on court. Then he went back to his Pro Ones.
Finally which one ?
Please read before comment
The Donnay wide body model you're referring to is called the Ultimate Pro which I think is what Agassi was testing. It was the 1990 French Open but the racquet wouldn't be released until 1991 along with the matching cosmetic standard Pro One. I, personally, don't see that as a "switch" mainly because of how brief his time was with the racquet (in the public eye). The way he treated those racquets was like he was just playing with them the first time ever during that French Open.
i have to try that string.. but i don't see it coming in purple ? and why does she use the purple color ? does it play different than other colors ?
No opinion on how it plays but you can find the purple color on the TW Yonex Poly Tour Rev page.

At this point I see more players with Yonex than Babolat. It’s probably a combination of everything you mentioned. Very good modern playing racquets that have had their popularity soared by countless touring pros promoting them.
it's the best color per racketpedia stats.. was discussed in an older thread. I find it a curious she chose a muted string for an already muted frame.
Design or not, that looks ridiculous indeed!
Not a good look. Nike designs are hideous these days.
It's how Nike designed it...
i can't find anywhere on this site or racketpedia that Purple color performed the best....
She used H19 which is soft with gut so I wouldn’t say she likes the crisp
I was on both playtests here for Poly Tour REV. The consensus was…it’s really not that “spinny” of a string:
