My 6.1's: classic 16x18, N-6.1 and HPS, both 18x20 (the HPS everybody say good staff is the one I like less) and a Slaz Pro Braided, a clone light and a bit stiff (my elbow feels funny)

So many awesome sticks

The Wilson head guard on the pro braided is so great

Was informed by fellow 6.1 95 truther @Seth that the last 16x18 6.1 95 user has moved on. Opelka must be getting a nice paycheck from Tec to abandon the almighty 6.1 95

Sad day....amazing stick that I used for 20 years (1992 to 2012).

I'd have to assume it's very possible he's playing with Meddy's 6.1 95-esque stick (Dynacore 95)

Yes. Looks like PS97 v10.

 

[gino]

ah, we stand corrected. oh well. still brownie points for a pro staff for machac

 

[lim]

its all starting to make sense

 

[steve260z]

What are you talking about...and that's a 6.1 team anyway

The “Fighter Edition” Blade cosmetics reminded folks of the 6.1 Classic. I think @lim is saying that Sabalenka’s history with a frame from the 6.1 silo may have inspired her Fighter frame.

I guess with Dan Evans retiring, Lehecka and Opelka switching, it really is curtains for the 6.1 on the pro tour this time.

(The OP weeps)

Did we actually confirm Lehecka switched?

What about Agut??

Pretty sure he himself confirmed in an interview with Mark Petchey around the time of the Madrid Masters that he'd gone up in head size. I think the steps were 6.1 95 -> 6.1 100 -> PS97.

Just Lajovic and Bautista left then, at 35 and 38 years old respectively? Over a third of a century on tour is still a ridiculously good run for a racquet.

What about Agut??

Roberto Bautista Agut announced on Thursday that he will bring his long and successful ATP Tour career to a close at the end of this season, after two decades at the top of professional tennis.
