It's the k blade, there is some gold.
Edit: It's actually pretty hard to tell, maybe since you brought it up it looks all black....

Looks pretty much all black to me. Maybe it means the sampras racquet is closer to a production run and public release.

Looks like the new "Sampras" 90 sq. in. frame to me.
Mahut was a long time user of the PS 6.0 95 (with various paintjobs), althought recently he did appear to switch over to the K90. Now it looks like he's using the "PS 6.0 90" prototype. The head definitely looks smaller than 95 to me.

Yeah, it looked too small to be the k blade. I didn't see the gold o it either. It looked a lot more like a pro staff, or at least the Sampras racquet used during the last exhibit w/ Federer.

By the way, in the second of the pictures above, Mahut really looks like a horse.

His style of play is serve and volley; so maybe his input is needed.
It looks like this racquet will be commercially released.

I don't see the PWS on that, not the same racquet as Sampras'.

Is that a 16x19 string pattern on it? Best I could imagine is it's more like a [K]Blade Tour with a more open string pattern.

I think it is the same racquet Mahut was using with the K6-1 paint job only now it is painted all black.

After watching his match with fed, the head size looks larger than fed's 90 so I doubt it is the Sampras, but I thought it could be a 95ish. Possibly Wilson has a 90 and a 95 in the works for the new Sampras model.

Nope, definitely not the Sampras stick. Different throat, less boxy beam, and no PWS. The head looks to be about 93 sq. in.. Maybe the next K-Blade Tour?

He may have grown tired of those fugly k factor cosmetics. I know I sure have.
On the other hand, maybe Wilson grew tired of Mahut's fugly s&v game. Who knows?

It might be a ROK or some other old prostaff.
Not a 6.0o or 6.1

It can't be the ROK either because the ROK has PWS. Mahut's racquet does not have PWS. I think maybe it is a version of the Blade with a more open string pattern.

Well okay then.
I thought the ROK was the one WITHOUT pws.
The head looks sorta like a head prestige to me.

Mahut's racquet with K6-1 paint job did not have the PWS.
the last pic makes me chuckle
