So, there you are - former TOP 3 russian star, ATP Finals-2009 winner Nikolay Davydenko personal racket from his transfer (PrinceDunlop) period in 2010.
That year (2010) he signed with Dunlop in march (rackets + clothes), but didnt change the racket immediately. He continued using his favourity mold (TX141P) in 2 versions - 18/20, 16/18.
This particullary racket was used by Davydenko in august-september of 2010.

Racket specs:
Length - 69,4 cm (extended!!!)
Grip size - 3 (4 3/8),
String pattern - 16/18,
Weight - 338 grams (No lead tape, No overgrip. Davydenko experimented a lot with lead tape in the throat area of a racket. This particullary racket has no lead tape),
Base grip - original Dunlop synthetic grip (wasnt changed since), as Davydenko already was under Dunlop contract.

Any idea what the swingweight and balance are?

Do the O-ports make that stupid 'whoosh' sound when you swing it fast?

Music to my port playing ears.

What racquet did he use when he won the 2009 ATP Tour Finals in London? Was it this one? Also what's the provenance of this? Like how did you get it and is there documentation of proof?

In London-2009 he used the same TX141P but in 18/20 string pattern. Other personal questions about my rackets please ask me in a private messages. Thank you

The retail version of that racket is delightful.

Used this one in college and loved it! Stringing it had some annoyances though
