Tsitsipas black strings

[1hander]

It's hard to see but against Paire he looked to be in a full bed of 4g.

Don’t think he was. In the highlight video you can hear the commentators mention something about using different strings. Pretty sure it’s 4g in mains and natural gut in crosses.

 

[Tjg]

Oh the virgin who lives in his mommas basement is back!

All their posts have vanished.

 

[1hander]

His strings look different against Foki!

 

[Tjg]

Looks like he is back to a full bed of 4G. Played today and the strings looked all yellow.

might be right

 

[Bambooman]

BUT, maybe Pete payed out of principle........he was making millions.

You don't know Pete. He had someone else pay for the string.

Hard to tell. Is it full bed of 4g?

it's a safe bet

The gauges looked different, and the commentator on Tennis TV (Gilles Müller) said Tsitsi changed his setup, racket and strings. That made me doubt.

I thinkn, 4g 1,25 mains / 4g 1,20 crosses

 

[HeavyHitter]

Most likely back to 1.25 4G full. Tennis players are stubborn. It's hard to change something that you've been using for over a decade and had tremendous success with.

[Suarly]

Looks like 4g/gut hybrid

 

[Lambsscroll]

What about in Miami?

One string seems to look like a different color just can't quite tell which one.

4G/Gut

 

[Lambsscroll]

Yeah, it seems 4G mains and gut cross. Now I'm wondering about the tension. Anyone know, lol?

Who’s career has been ruined by 4G?

Nishikori and Dolgopolov

 

[Nate7-5]

Is adidas trolling everyone with shirt designs now?

[Raizu]

Don't know what Thiem is using but his career is rapidly going down the toilet

He’s done. He won’t be back in the top 10. Probably hang around the Top 50

 

[Nostradamus]

One can safely assume he believes his elbow issues arise from using 4g, which is probably correct.

4G destroyed Nishikori's career in tennis

 

[Nostradamus]

what string is that ??

 

[Nate7-5]

Gonna guess 4g mains and Lux gut crosses

 

[innoVAShaun]

 

[McEncock]

Back to full yellow strings (4G soft maybe?)

He's been back with full-bed 4G for a while IIRC.

[Arzivu]

Full bed of 4g again? This kid will never learn...

 

[Tjg]

Yeah. Saw he was back to full bed 4g

 

[bobeeto]

*unlearn

Mouratoglou will get him all the special sauce he needs to prevent injury, he just needs to unlearn his comfort with that string

He wasn’t gettin the results with other setups. It’s really hard to switch for those who have used the same setup for years.

I doubt any of us have ever had the same racket with same string plus identical specs (latter being most difficult) for over 8+ years. He literally knows how every shot should feel and land.

I used to think he was dumb for sticking to 4G. Now I suspect he’s living with the pain for the results. It probably can’t get worse. He’s likely getting treatment and doing PT to minimize the damage. Who knows.

While I have changed rackets (too much), I have remained with pretty much the same set up for a long time and agree with your post. I also heard from a reputable source that poly has the same effect on pros it does on Joes. They just take longer because their technique is so much better. Speaking strictly about full poly here, hybrids seem to alleviate the effect of poly.

They also have a team to treat them after every match. I bet he has a specific treatment for his arm after every time he plays.
As the players have said at press conferences, they go through a couple hours of treatment after each match.

I think that says it all.

 

[K1Y]

He does play at a lower tension now. Early january he strung 4g 1.25 mains and crosses at 23kg (which is 50,7 lbs)

 

[CiscoPC600]

That can definitely offer some relief. He was 55/52 before. 50 all aboard must be good.

 

[TennisCouple]

When he tried a hybrid settup. Was he using 4g on mains or crosses?

Is 4g mains and nat gut crosses arm friendly enough for someone w elbow issues? im currently using nat gut mains and alu rough on crosses and my elbow is perfect but I want to try 4g mains and nat gut crosses to increase durability. But im afraid to aggrivate my arm again

I used full bed of tourbite at 51 lbs on my rf97 for a long time until my arm gave out. After time away from the game Iv come back using a pro stock v4 and using this hybrid settup to prevent my arm from dying again.

 

[veelium]

He was using 4g in the mains.

I think comfort wise, there is not much difference between gut in the mains or crosses.

 

[jmacdaununder2]

I beg to disagree; gut mains is more comfortable.

 

[jmacdaununder2]

4g mains with a sensitive elbow is contraindicated.
