Andres Gomez

 

[Leelord337]

verdasco for a short while

and i cheated on the yonex website for this one: Andrea Collarini (yes its a man)

 

[Seth]

Juan Monaco.

 

[VGP]

One of my favorites, Jaime Yzaga.

 

[Leelord337]

Thanks for the contributions guys I will add on the new ones.

 

[Shaolin]

[zspyderman]

Just added on another..Kucera.

Pat Cash
Aaron Krikstein

Verdasco only had the Yonex stencil in the strings. Did not use an actual Yonex racket, but his Technifiber.

Pat Cash
Aaron Krikstein

Not true.

There were a couple tournaments where Fernando did actually switch to a clear Isometric head shape (obviously indicative of Yonex frames).

Pat Cash
Aaron Krikstein

Verdasco only had the Yonex stencil in the strings. Did not use an actual Yonex racket, but his Technifiber.

Mdubb is correct, Verdasco clearly used a Yonex @ Acapulco and San Jose this year. Then he went back to TF.

 

[ericsson]

Don't forget Davydenko.
Also the Woodies did use Yonex at one point in their careers.

 

[Leelord337]

^^any pics of davy w/a yonex? i just can't remember him with one.. i know you're right but i just wanna see a pic

 

[Shaolin]

I searched for pics of Davy using a Yonex and couldn't find anything. The only evidence was a 2 year old TW thread with broken links. Ericsson knows his stuff so I'll take his word for it. Still would like to see a pic though.

 

[Kirko]

Sammy Giammalva nt.

nt. 12345678910

 

[Kirko]

Vince Van Patten nt.

Johan Kriek I believe..also used Rossie's earlier I believe

 

[Shaolin]

^^Thanks for the contributions all..Adding them on.. Looks like ericsson was right about Davy D.

 

[Kirko]

another one Billie Jean King >>

remember her at Wimbledon 1982 using Yonex an alu. model. I only remember Kreik using rossignol and later donnay, but I could be wrong.

 

[Mdubb23]

Oh, and Jeff Tarango. :evil:

Kriek did use Rossignol, Donnay and, for a short time I remember him using the Yonex RX-32.

 

[stalako]

olivier patience

before using a babolat pure drive he used yonex racquet

 

[vsbabolat]

I remember John McEnroe using the Yonex R-22 at the 1992 French Open 1st R. loss to Nikolas Kulti.

Thanks...all added.

 

[Buckethead]

All they need now is somebody to endorse the Ultimum RD Ti 80,since the racket has the most beautiful paint job out there,it is an easy sell if a pro used it,specially being that good of a racket.

 

[basil J]

Agreed. TI80= Tremendous players stick
