Babolat was Rafael Nadal's first racquet and the two-time French Open champion will continue playing with Babolat for the next decade. Nadal has signed a contract extension with the French tennis manufacturer that will equip him with Babolat racquets, strings, grips, accessories and bags for the next 10 years.

In announcing the contract extension with Nadal, Babolat is also introducing the new Aeropro Drive racquet equipped with the Cortex System, the result of collaboration between the brand and the young Spanish champion. Nadal started playing with the new racquet at this week's Masters Series Monte-Carlo tournament, Babolat said.

"Rafael Nadal has signed a new contract with Babolat for 10 years. This is a true sign of confidence," said Eric Babolat, CEO of Babolat. "We are proud of the collaboration with such a champion. We accompany him on his major tournaments; we listen to him to design a racquet that best fits his game. This collaboration is large for him and for us"

The owner of an Open Era record 63 consecutive clay-court victories, Nadal has always played with a Babolat racquet.

"I am very happy," said Nadal. "My first racquet was a Babolat. Today, Babolat has developed a new Aeropro Drive racquet for me. It corresponds perfectly to my game, very fast. Thanks to the Cortex System, I have a new feel of the ball. And I love its look."

Wow, could this sound more scripted
 
Wilson and Babolat are really using their top pro's to campaign for there rackets.. very smart.

But shouldn't

Be more like:

"I am very happy, No?" said Nadal. "My first racquet was a Babolat. No?Today, Babolat has developed a new Aeropro Drive racquet for me. No? It corresponds perfectly to my game, very fast. No? Thanks to the Cortex System, I have a new feel of the ball. No? And I love its look. No? "
 
What if Babolat racquets start to suck? lol

It's not as bad as Fed's LIFETIME contract with Wilson. He's stuck with them for life. At least when Rafa is 30 he can still choose something else by then. But why leave Babolat? Ross K is the leader of the Babolat Alliance and I'm an Aeropro Warrior! Vive Le Babolat.
 
Sorry, my mistake...but yeah things happens just like that. :D
Glad Andre made such a good start with adidas that time reaching the last US open final.
 
Babolat makes great tennis racquets, and it is re-assuring to see Nadal express his belief in the company's ability to continually meet good players racquet needs by signing this long-term deal with them.
 
They should give rafa their clothing's line, so that it would be more popular!

Deosn't mather if it's a monkey or Rafael Nadal that wears crappy babolat clothes.. they still are crappy babolat clothes, so it won''t sell.

(I'm not talking quality here, but esthetically.)

Nice one dude
 
You know what, Rafa seem to be playing great with that new PJ on his racket. Can a new PJ actually help you play better?
 
After this victory in MC today Babolat must be thinking about rushing the release date of the new Aeropro Drive Cortex. I have 2 ready to be added to cart when it comes out.
